GojoHime

GojoHime is the het ship between Satoru Gojo and Utahime Iori from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Canon
Gojo and Utahime are teachers at Tokyo Jujutsu Tech and Kyoto Jujutsu Tech respectively. They've known each for over 10 years, presumably since Gojo's second year, with Utahime being 3 years older.

Gojo is often seen teasing Utahime, eventually getting on Utahime's nerves. Due to their relationship, Utahime is quite used to this teasing and even though she gets agitated, they manage to get along when in action. In Episode 14, once Utahime and the Kyoto students arrive for the Sister School Goodwill Event, she asks everyone where 'the idiot' is, in reference to Gojo. As soon as this is said, he appears, to which Utahime reacts with "Tsk. Gojo Satoru", with a rather disapproving look on her face. He's seen rolling a metal box along with souvenirs for the Kyoto students from his overseas business trip, but notes that none are for Utahime, clearly teasing her. She responds with annoyance, claiming that she wouldn't need one anyway. While Principal Yaga is explaining the event, he is holding down Gojo, and we see Utahime laughing at him.

While Gojo is explaining to Utahime why he believes that a human is working with curses, Utahime asks him what would happen if she was the traitor. Gojo replies by telling Utahime that it couldn't have been her, since she's too weak and doesn't have guts to try and betray them. In response, she throws her drink at him. After doing this, Gojo tells her that hysterics won't win men, and she replies angrily. She says that she's the senior here, meaning that he should respect her.

At the beginning of Episode 15, Gojo is counting down for the start for the start of the event, and when there's one minute left, he asks Utahime to say some words of encouragement. Since Utahime wasn't ready, she struggles to say something, and stutters a lot, while she's speaking, Gojo cuts her off after she musters something by saying "time's up", making her angry. She continues to shout at Gojo for embarrassing her and tells him that he should show respect to his elders. In Episode 17, while Gojo and Utahime are watching the students, Utahime says that the students should just get along with each other. Gojo replies by saying "They must take after you, Utahime", but she says that Gojo is the only one that she has a problem with.

Fanon
Having a relatively small fandom, this ship took off during the Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event episodes. Their main trope includes "Opposites Attract", especially due to the extreme differences between the two personalities, with Utahime being more calm and Gojo being playful.

This ship is largely popular within Japanese fans, calling them the "Five Songs Couple" (GoUta, in Romaji). Go (五) from Gojo's surname, which directly translates to "Five", and Uta (歌) from Utahime, which also directly translates as "Song". GojoHime has been popular within manga fans for some time now, which explains the relatively large amount of fanfictions and fanarts of the ship. Their interactions in the anime adaptation has also welcomed new shippers to the boat.

Trivia

 * According to the Official Fan Book, there are certain contrasts between their personalities: Utahime dislikes sweets and enjoys drinking alcohol, while Gojo likes sweets and dislikes alcohol.
 * Gege mentioned that chapter's title "Accomplices" refers to all duos who appeared in Ch.63. Which makes Gojo and Utahime accomplices too.
 * Gojo is listed as Utahime's source of stress, and unlike Nanami and Ijichi whose stress source is also Gojo, the two live very far away from each other.
 * Gojo tampered with the suggestion box to add on option for baseball (to rule out Yuji being killed in individual competitions); Utahime is a fan of watching sports.
 * Utahime hates Gojo "most of the time".
 * Gojo's and Utahime's Japanese voice actors share the same teasing dynamic as the characters they portray. Nakamura Yuichi (Gojo's VA) likes to call Hikasa Yoko (Utahime's VA) "old hag" and joking that she can't sing cute songs.
 * In the English dub, when Utahime threw tea at Gojo, he teased her by saying that her hostility was a turn off, whereas the Spanish dub says "that's why you don't have a boyfriend".
 * There are multiple compilations of Gojo and Utahime's scenes on YouTube.
 * In Jujutsu Kaisen's anime exhibition art, Gojo and Utahime are under a red umbrella, the umbrella is very symbolic and is used in Japanese weddings. The umbrella is used to ward off evil and keep the bride dry in case it happens to rain. The color red itself in Japanese culture means passion, strength, self sacrifice and blood. The Shinto styled weddings (that include the umbrella) have the groom wear a (mostly) black outfit, while the bride wears either a red or a white outfit (or both). Gojo and Utahime represent those colors with just their normal clothes and are under the umbrella.
