Utahime Iori serves as a semi-grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer, student supervisor, and homeroom teacher for Kyoto Jujutsu High's second-year class. Her appearance includes long blackish-purple hair, usually tied back with a small ponytail section, thin eyebrows, brown eyes, and a prominent horizontal scar crossing the bridge of her nose and the right side of her face. This scar appeared after the Star Plasma Vessel assimilation event, absent during her high school years. Standing approximately 170 cm tall with a slender physique, she wears traditional white kosode and red umanori hakama pants paired with brown boots while on duty. Off-duty, her casual attire features items like dark purple baseball hats, white overalls, and dark shoes. She maintains a meticulous skincare and makeup routine, particularly conscious of her age in her thirties. Personally, Utahime displays a calm, kind, and stern demeanor, dedicated to setting a positive example for her deeply respectful students. She maintains professionalism in her duties but possesses a short temper, especially when provoked by her junior from Jujutsu High, Satoru Gojo. Gojo frequently teases her about her perceived lack of strength, triggering demands for recognition of her seniority. Despite this friction, she collaborates professionally with him based on shared goals for jujutsu education and ethics, not friendship. She values her friendship with Shoko Ieiri, often encouraging her to quit smoking. Utahime has a noted fondness for sports, passionately supporting the Hiroshima Sanfrecce soccer team and Saitama Seibu Lions baseball team, and enjoys karaoke. She dislikes sweet foods, enjoys beer (noted for having a bad drinking habit), and cites Gojo as a primary source of stress. Her innate cursed technique, **Solo Forbidden Area** (Soro Soro Kinku), allows her to temporarily amplify the cursed energy output and reserves of any willing sorcerer within her range, including herself. The technique's effectiveness increases to 120% when combined with ritualistic elements like singing, dancing, hand signs, and instrumental music. This support-oriented ability makes her strategically valuable in combat but less effective in direct confrontations. She can deploy standard barrier techniques like **Curtain**. Though classified as semi-grade 1, she demonstrates competent physical capabilities, such as dodging attacks from Haruta Shigemo and intercepting threats to protect students. Historically, Utahime was a second-grade sorcerer by 2006, roughly three years senior to Gojo, Suguru Geto, and Shoko Ieiri. During a mission in Hamamatsu City with Mei Mei, they were trapped for two days in a curse-manipulated spatial anomaly until rescued by Gojo, Geto, and Shoko, enduring mockery about her combat abilities. She acquired her facial scar later, after the Star Plasma Vessel incident. As a Kyoto instructor under Principal Gakuganji, she mentored students including Aoi Todo, Momo Nishimiya, and Kasumi Miwa. During the Kyoto Goodwill Event, she coordinated her students while investigating a potential traitor at Gojo’s request. In the Shibuya Incident, she expressed suspicions about Ultimate Mechamaru's loyalty and shielded Miwa from Kenjaku's attack. Later, during the Shinjuku showdown against Sukuna, she used Solo Forbidden Area to augment Gojo’s Hollow Purple technique. Following Sukuna’s defeat, she participated in discussions about jujutsu society’s future with Gakuganji. Her name's kanji ("庵歌姫") translates to "hermitage song princess," reflecting her technique’s musical enhancement. Trivia includes fluctuating popularity poll rankings and variable ribbon sizes in her character design.
