Mommy Kenny

Kenlta is the family ship between Kenjaku and Yuji Itadori from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Canon
Sometime in the modern era, Kenjaku had apparently taken the body of Kaori, Jin Itadori’s partner, and had a son with him: Yuji. Although his reason for doing so is unknown.

Fearsome Womb Arc
In July 2018, Kenjaku met with Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon at a restaurant to discuss their goals. Kenjaku explained that the curses needed to become allies with Sukuna and Yuji as well as render Gojo unable to fight. Laters, Kenjaku watches as Jogo loses to Gojo (who is with Yuji) but stays out of sight

Vs. Mahito Arc
Kenjaku went to see Yuji Itadori and Junpei bonding next to the river, much to his satisfaction. Kenjaku wants Junpei and Yuji to fight because it would force Yuji to make a binding vow with Sukuna, which would help him convince Sukuna to work with his group.

Shibuya Incident Arc
On october 31st, after Gojo is sealed, kenjaku hears Yuji sharing the news with the other exorcists. As Mahito, Choso and Jogo leave to find Yuji, Kenjaku decides to stay underground to guard the Prison Realm. When the battle between Mahito and Yuji endes with Yuji’s victory, Kenjaku appeares on the scene to ask Mahito if he needs help. Recognizing that Kenjaku matches the description of the person who sealed Gojo, Yuji tries to attack him but Kenjaku stops his attack with his curses. Mahito, upon realising that Kenjaku plans on absorbing him with Geto's technique, tries to attack only for Kenjaku to absorb him.

Uraume appears and uses Frost Calm to freezes Yuji and his group as Kenjaku tells them not to kill the sorcerers as he needs a messenger. Kenjaku then prepares to activate Idle Transfiguration and thanks Yuji for allowing Mahito's cursed technique to grow in strength as Mahito became stronger during his battle against Yuji. He then explains to the sorcerers his plan to start the Culling game. Before leaving he summons a large amount of curses and bids Yuji goodbye by saying he expects much from him.

Itadori's Extermination Arc
While fighting together, Choso explains to Yuji that he will continue to call him his "little brother" until Yuji remembers that his father had stitches on his forehead. While unconscious, Yuji has a dream where he is held by his father, Jin Itadori, as a baby. Yuji's grandfather, Wasuke Itadori, asks Jin to leave his lover and warns him that he would die otherwise. Jin asks for Wasuke to not talk about such things in front of Yuji as babies remember more than they think. Wasuke begins to talk about Kaori's death before he is cut off by the woman in question, "Kaori" with stiches on her head walking in, calling Wasuke "father-in-law", and asking what they're talking about.

Perfect Preparation Arc
Tengen explains to Yuji and his group who Kenjaku is and what his plans are. They plan to defeat Kenjaku and unseal Gojo from the Prison Realm.

Culling Game Arc
Kenjaku personally escorts Sasaki, Yuji's friend at his Sendai school, outside the barrier. he then thanks her for getting along with his son.

While Choso is fighting Kenjaku, he asks him what his plans are for Yuji. He then says that he didn't have any plans for Yuji excepted for him becoming a vessel but now that role is finished. Kenjaku repeatedly calls Yuji a "thing" and says that as long as he will coexist with Sukuna the cycle of curses will never end. He adds that he will become the eye of the storm of a new era.

Fanon
has 48 works written for it on Archive of our Own. It is Kenjaku's fourth most popular ship on the website, behind GoJaku. It is also Yuji's 14th most popular pairing, behind ships like ItaFushi or GoYuu. is not the most popular pairing because, despite being major characters in the series, the two have interacted very little. Fans like to explore and expand on their relationship as very little has been shown on the subject in canon. Yuji has been through much suffering since the beging of Jujutsu Kaisen and Kenjaku, through his planning, has been the main architect of this suffering.
