KamoFushi is the slash ship between Noritoshi Kamo and Megumi Fushiguro from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.
Canon[]
Noritoshi Kamo and Megumi Fushiguro come from two great Japanese sorcerer families — Kamo and Zenin. Noritoshi is a third-year at Kyoto Metropolitan Curse Technical College, and Megumi is a first-year at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College. First they appear together as participants of the Kyoto Goodwill Event, when the students are introduced to each other. Kamo notices that Fushiguro's technique is quite rare and he might become a powerful sorcerer. When the competition begins, Megumi meets Noritoshi in the forest and they clash weapons. Megumi asks his opponent whether he and his classmates are trying to kill Itadori. Kamo doesn't deny the accusation but says there is no reason for them to do it. Megumi doesn't agree as he thinks the higher ups have their own motives.

Megumi and Noritoshi's fight is interrupted.
For the face off they move to one of the temple buildings with Megumi on the defence. Kamo attacks him with his arrows dipped in his own blood, which allows them to change trajectory and follow Megumi’s movement. Megumi uses his cursed weapon - tonfa - to deflect Kamo's arrows and his toad shikigami for further defense.
Kamo notices that Megumi uses only one type of shikigami when he is able to summon much more, and says he doesn't appreciate his opponent holding out on him, a subtle indication that the two know each other's inhereted techniques very well. As Kamo deflects Megumi's attention by firing an arrow up in the ceiling, he attacks him physically, and they engage in combat. As they fight, both Megumi and Noritoshi note each other's outstanding physical abilities. Kamo comments on it out loud, saying that a shikigami user like Megumi, who is also incredibly strong, is a rare find. He adds that Megumi has improved and he is happy to witness his growth. Fushiguro is surprised at his compliments, and Kamo explains that he sympathises with him, as they two as the can heads will be supporting sorcerer society. Then he opens up to Megumi and frankly admits that he intends to kill Megumi's classmate and close friend Yuji. He states that it's his personal desicion as a member of the Kamo clan.

Noritoshi and Megumi running from Hanami.
Noritoshi believes that he and and Megumi are alike. Megumi doesn't agree and he explains to Kamo that he doesn't have any connection to the zenin family any longer. He comments on Kamo's decision to kill Itadori that Noritoshi himself frames as "right", and says that he doesn't believe in write or wrong, only his own good conscience, and adds that if Noritoshi doesn't agree with him, they'll have to curse each other. Megumi doesn't hold back anymore and summons his newly tamed elephant shikigami and blows Kamo away with strong water pressure. However, as soon they start fighting ruthlessly, they are interrupted by Hanami's attack on the college. Megumi and Noritoshi immediately put a stop their confrontation and join forces in the face of a greater evil. They are joined by Inumaki, and Kamo is impressed Megumi can understand Inumaki's odd way of speaking.

They all fight the proceed to fight the curse, while protecting each other. When they are pursued by Hanami, Kamo stops and wounds it with his Blood Manipulation Technique. Hanami is a special grade curse, and Megumi realizes that all this time Noritoshi must have been holding back, as he is way too powerful. As they're running away again, Megumi is the last one following Kamo's steps. Kamo screams at Megumi to hurry up and in the next frame Kamo is shown to be the last one, meaning he must have waited for Megumi and made sure to cover his back. As they leave the building, Hanami attacks them in the open, and strikes Kamo throwing him far. Megumi quickly steps in and catches him softening the blow. Then he asks Norithoshi if he didn't hurt himself, but he doesn't answer as he's knocked out.
Fanon[]
The pairing is not considered very popular due to the prevalence of ItaFushi. On AO3 the ship is represented by the works that mostly feature it as a side-pairing to another ship featuring Megumi. However some fans noticed chemistry between Kamo and Fushiguro during the Event, and the similarities the characters share, which lead to the birth of the ship. The burden of the family name and great possibility of them inheriting the status of the head of the family puts them in somewhat similar positions, and that's what fans love to explore – how two seemingly different in nature people can relate to each other due to the heavy weight they have to carry on their shoulders. One sided feelings along with unreciprocated love are the most common tropes associated with this pair.
