Gege Akutami’s hit shonen series, Jujutsu Kaisen, wasn’t always known by its now-familiar name. When the series began in 2017, it was originally titled Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College and focused on a different protagonist, Yuuta Okkotsu, rather than the current main character, Yuji Itadori.
Although Jujutsu Kaisen premiered with Yuji ultimately eliminated, Yuta had a much larger role and became a key figure in the story. While the franchise has yet to receive a live-action television series like Cowboy Bebop or One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen is set to launch a new live-action stage play that will once again shine a spotlight on Yuta and his formidable abilities.
Who is Yuta Okotsu?
Although Yuta may not be the main character of the ongoing Jujutsu Kaisen story after his initial focus in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, he has still played notable roles in the series. His most recent appearance took place in the anime’s second season, where his return shocked fans.

Streaming services Crunchyroll and Netflix, for JJK, describe Yuuta as “a nervous high school student who enrolls at the mysterious Tokyo Jujutsu High School under the guidance of Satoru Gojo after his childhood friend is afflicted with a curse.”
Yuuta played no role in the first season of the anime, nor was he present during the majority of the Hidden Inventory arc or the Shibuya Incident arc. However, in the second season finale, Yuuta made a heroic reappearance, saving a young girl from being consumed by a curse.
Jujutsu Tech identifies Okkotsu as the ideal sorcerer to defeat Yuji Itadori, who is set to be executed due to Sukuna’s destructive actions in Shibuya.
The exact date for the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 stage play hasn’t been revealed yet
Now, the franchise will be expanded with a live-action stage play based on Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which will be performed in Tokyo this December and continue in Osaka in January.

Japan is no stranger to live-action stage adaptations of popular anime series, and Jujutsu Kaisen has already seen previous dramas covering the events of the anime’s first season. It makes sense for the franchise to now tell Yuuta’s story in this new format, although details about the production are still scarce.
For fans who have yet to experience Jujutsu Kaisen 0, the prequel film offers a standalone experience and is available for streaming on both Crunchyroll and Netflix.
