Author Gege Akutami ended his popular shonen series, Jujutsu Kaisen this year, leaving a rather large hole in Weekly Shonen Jump's list of works. While Yuji Itadori and the survivors ultimately got the happiest ending possible, there are still some big questions surrounding everyone else after the end of the series.
Luckily, Akutami was more than willing to answer questions that fans had been asking for a while, one of which was about Uraume. Apparently there are many mysteries surrounding Uraume's gender and the manga artist has answered these questions with a surprising answer.
For fans who only watched the Jujutsu Kaisen anime without reading the manga, they still haven't seen much of Uraume in action.
Most recently, she played a major role in the anime's second season through the Shibuya Incident arc. Sukuna's subordinates have a cursed power that gives her control over ice, creating quite dangerous attack and defense techniques.
In the manga, we saw this villain play a big role in the Culling Game arc, which will be the main focus of Jujutsu Kaisen's third season. Ahead of the release of the third season, Gege Akutami confirmed Uraume's gender along with the villain's unbelievable past.

This is because the physical body is under the Culling player's curse The game, not the cursed objects themselves. That's why when Hazenoki was called by his name, he felt a bit confused thinking 'So that's the name you're going to call me? '”
When talking about Uraume's past life, Akutami clearly stated this character's gender before making a deal with Kenjaku: “As for Uraume, he was originally a man, but due to the contract with Kenjaku, he was reincarnated. in a woman's body (Himi Shiori)… Have I mentioned this somewhere before?”
