Taichi Kanada is a minor figure in Jujutsu Kaisen, a one-time pupil at Saitama Urami East Junior High. A bungee jump off Yasohachi Bridge once left him and three others cursed, and that curse finally claims him during the Death Painting Arc.
Taichi stood at about an ordinary height and build, his blonde hair brushed upward over a sharp widow's peak. He leaned toward a showy look, pairing a red collared shirt with flame designs against dark trousers and sandals.
What little is recorded about Taichi amounts to his old reputation as a middle-school troublemaker. Grown up, he had turned into a jittery man afraid for his own well-being, and he hounded his apartment's management again and again with furious calls, his patience worn thin as he demanded the matter be fixed given the high fees he was shelling out.
His schooling continued at Iwasa Commercial High School in the same city once he left Saitama Urami East Junior High, but he dropped out partway through his second year. Misaki Construction then hired him for two years of on-site labor before he moved on. He next relocated to Morioka in Iwate Prefecture and put in four years with Sakino Civil Engineering, then transferred again to Soma Manufacturing for more labor work, and by the time he died he had climbed to a supervisor's post at that firm. The fatal night begins when he comes home to find his apartment's auto-lock jammed open. As he barks threats into the phone at building management, a cursed spirit takes shape behind him unnoticed and stabs him, after which his details get folded into a case picked up by Tokyo Jujutsu High. Three other alumni from his old school met the same end. As the jujutsu students later uncover, a single bungee jump from Yasohachi Bridge had cursed all four of them; that curse stayed dormant for years and only awakened in the wake of Sukuna's reincarnation.

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....

Five Bleach female characters, ranked and settled. Yoruichi sits at number five, the spot nobody expects, and our number one is an Arrancar with a soft heart....
