Jujutsu Kaisen’screator Gege Akutami might be the most in-demand individual in the anime and manga world right now. Their masterwork has created quite a stir in the anime and manga industry and has escalated to the top of the most popular anime list in a very short time, and only with two seasons and a movie.
While the credit for all of this goes to the intriguing storyline, brilliant character developments, and thrilling battles, all of this has been made possible by only one person. Some fans love them for creating such a brilliant story while some hate them because of their habit of making a character lovable and then killing him/her off.
Not much is known about Akutami and their personal life. Even their real name has never been revealed which makes them a much more interesting individual. However, recently a story was shared about Akutami’s past which revealed that they played a unique game of Russian roulette and even won the game.

Gege Akutamicelebrates their birthday on February 26 and to wish them, aJujutsu Kaisenleaker/fan account@GO_Jovershared a unique backstory about the manga creator. According to the story, when Akutami was a kid, they used to lie, steal food, break things, and blame it on their dog.
The tweet stated:
“As a child, Akutami habitually fibbed, filched food, broke things and blamed the dog. Thus, when Akutami came home after actually getting hit by a car, no one believed him. In 1999, Akutami was a champion in a death game that involved taking turns rubbing medication used for treating insect bites on one’s nether regions, for which he attracted a lot of attention and had to disappear for a while.”
According to the post, Akutami once took part in a unique Russian roulette game that involved rubbing dangerous medication on their private parts and surviving the longest. Akutami won the game and attracted a lot of attention because of it which led to them disappearing for a while.

The story gives great hindsight into the life of one of the biggest manga creators in history as the only things known about Akutami are their pen name and their age. This is because they like to keep their identity hidden as not only they are the most loved manga creators in the world, but also one of the most hated too.
