Hanami is a male anime and manga character who features in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Biography

Hanami (Japanese: 花はな御み, Hepburn: Hanami?) was a male Cursed Spirit who came to be born in the modern age from negative human emotion. It was said that they were born from the fear of the forest where the massive amounts of cursed energy directed at the fear caused them to gain consciousness before taking form. After gaining a physical form, they remained in hiding along with the other curses representing natural disasters. Hanami attended a meeting with Geto, along with Jogo and Dagon. During the meeting, Hanami listens as Geto explains how the cursed spirits need Sukuna on their side and seal Gojo before they can defeat the sorcerers. Later, Hanami watches Jogo fight against Gojo. When Jogo was pushed into a corner, Hanami comes to Jogo's rescue and brings him back to Geto and Mahito.

Later Hanami meets with his allies, where they discuss how they will invade Jujutsu High to retrieve Sukuna's fingers that are being held there along with three of the Death Painting Wombs. During the Kyoto Goodwill Event, Hanami invades the college along with Mahito, Juzo Kumiya, and another curse user. Hanami heads over to where the students are fighting and encounters Toge. Hanami then fights Toge until they come across Megumi and Noritoshi. Hanami goes to try and attack the three but Toge restrains him using cursed speech. Noritoshi and Megumi attack Hanami, but it does nothing. Hanami tells the three that he wants to protect the earth by killing all the humans. Hanami then chances the three, but Toge manages to stop Hanami from attacking them. The three manage to find out that the branches on Hanami's head are his weak point. When Toge's throat gives out, Hanami takes this chance to wound Noritoshi, but can't finish him off before Megumi rescues him. Hanami is then sent flying when Toge uses the last of his strength, but doesn't get sent far. When Maki shows up, Hanami fights against her and Megumi. Hanami continues to battle them, leading to Maki and Megumi managing to harm him. Hanami manages to plant a seed that feeds on a sorcerers power, and continues to battle Maki. As Hanami manages to pin them both down, Yuji and Aoi show up and rescue the two. Hanami then fights Yuji, which during the fight Hanami is harmed when Yuji lands a Black Flash on him. After being harmed, Hanami heals himself and removes the restraint that is on his left arm. Hanami continues his fight against Yuji and Aoi. During the fight, Hanami remembers how Mahito told him that he should enjoy his fight more. Hanami continues to fight and thinks about how he is truly enjoying this fight. When Aoi starts using Boogie Woogie, Hanami is repeatedly harmed by Aoi and Yuji attacks. Hanami is pushed into a corner and steals the life energy from near by plants and prepares to attack, but stops when Gojo destroys the screen. Hanami is then hit by Gojo's Hollow Technique: Purple technique and is heavily wounded, however he was able to escape, barely clinging to his life. The wounded Hanami was then helped by Mahito in order to leave the site.

Hanami is playing with Mahito and Dagon while Pseudo-Geto and Jogo talk about their plan to fight Gojo. Later, Hanami was playing mahjong with Mahito, Jogo, and Pseudo-Geto, where Pseudo-Geto explains how the Prison Realm works. On October 31, Hanami was with Jogo and Choso in the curtain at Shibuya. When Gojo arrives at their location, Hanami prepares to fight him along with the others. Hanami then blocks Gojo's exit, which Gojo says that he is not planning to run away. They then surround Gojo with people. Choso distracts Gojo by attacking, allowing Hanami and Jogo to attack Gojo with Domain Amplification, but Gojo manages to escape. Gojo takes off the blindfold around his eyes and says that he will take Hanami down first since they have not learned after facing him two times before. As Gojo gets close to them and Jogo, the curses go to attack the sorcerer but he easily dodges the attacks. As Jogo tries to get some distance, Gojo swiftly chases after him, Hanami thinks about what Gojo is planning but notices that Gojo has deactivated his Limitless. Hanami goes to use their cursed technique, but Jogo tells Hanami to not deactivate their amplification. Suddenly, Gojo grabs a hold of the branches on Hanami's head and pulls them out. Choso manages to distract Gojo for a second, which allows Hanami and Jogo go to attack. Gojo uses this chance to activate his technique and crush a weakened Hanami against a wall, exorcising them. Later when Jogo is killed by Sukuna, Hanami meets with Jogo along with Dagon. Hanami talks with Jogo about how they still have Mahito and that they will one day be reborn as different beings.

Overview

Personality and attributes

Hanami was the type of spirit who cares for the planet that the humans have been abusing for thousands of years. They wish to kill humans in order to sacrifice them so they can be sages to a cleaner world controlled by cursed spirits that will respect the earth. Hanami believes in Jogo's ideals along with Dagon, as they want to replace humanity with cursed spirits because they feel curses are the true humans.

In contrast to Hanami's peaceful convictions, Mahito has encouraged them to embrace their savagery as a spirit. In the heat of battle, Hanami learned to embrace their instincts and began to enjoy the thrill of the fight, allowing it to drive them forward beyond their limits.

Hanami has a close kinship with their allies, willing to go out of their way and briefly challenge Satoru Gojo in order to rescue Jogo from being exorcised. They follow Mahito and ultimately sacrifices themself for their group's ultimate plan in Shibuya.
