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.

On Pixiv, Gojo and Utahime currently have 27130 total views, the highest the ship ever got was 150038 views on April 1, 2021. On Pixiv, Utahime and Gojo have 1,808 fan arts made by the Japanese fandom (as of 11/06/21).

 * Gege mentioned that chapter's title "Accomplices" refers to all duos who appeared in Ch.63. Which makes Gojo and Utahime accomplices too.

They use these kind of umbrella's for Shinto styled weddings, under the umbrella are the groom and the bride.
