Noritoshi Kamo, born June 5, 2000, is a sorcerer from the esteemed Kamo clan, one of the Three Great Jujutsu Families. As the son of the 24th clan head and a mistress, his mother faced exile from the clan while he was acknowledged as heir at age six. This acceptance stemmed from his inheritance of the clan’s Blood Manipulation technique and the legal wife’s failure to produce a suitable successor. His mother named him after the clan’s infamous ancestor Noritoshi as an act of defiance and a hidden message for him to abandon the clan—a motive he initially remained unaware of.
Physically tall with gray eyes typically closed and long black hair, Noritoshi initially upheld a traditional appearance: wrapped hair strands and a dark blue shozoku-style Jujutsu High uniform. After exile due to Kenjaku’s usurpation of the Kamo clan, he adopted a spikier short haircut and practical combat attire—a black turtleneck, protective breastplate, arrow-storage waist guard, and black pants.
Noritoshi’s personality evolved from stoic, duty-bound adherence to clan values—driven by ambitions to reunite with his mother—toward a freer, aloof demeanor after losing his heir status and discovering his mother’s new family. This crisis of belonging culminated in a resolve to "burn away his life" for allies, solidified during his partnership with Maki Zenin in the Sakurajima Colony. Maki’s counsel about maternal regrets prompted him to reconcile with his mother, realizing he had misunderstood her enduring care.
A Semi-Grade 1 sorcerer and third-year Kyoto Jujutsu High student, Noritoshi wields the Kamo clan’s hereditary Blood Manipulation technique. He controls his blood and stored blood packs for combat, employing techniques like Flowing Red Scale (physical enhancement), Crimson Binding (restraints), Slicing Exorcism (projectiles), Convergence (compression), and Piercing Blood (high-velocity attack). He integrates these with archery, reinforcing arrows with cursed energy and guiding them via blood. His tactical intellect surfaces in battles against Megumi Fushiguro, the curse Hanami, and Naoya Zenin’s cursed spirit form, showcasing adaptability against superior foes.
Key developmental events include the Kyoto Goodwill Event, where he confronted Megumi and fought Hanami; the Shibuya Incident, aiding against Kenjaku (disguised as Suguru Geto) before being ousted from the Kamo clan by Kenjaku’s reveal as the original Noritoshi Kamo; the Culling Game’s Sakurajima Colony, where he allied with Maki against Naoya Zenin, sustaining severe injuries while solidifying his protective resolve. Post-battle, he reconciled with his mother, then prioritized relocating her and her new family overseas before returning to live with them in Japan.
