Appearance Utahime Iori
Utahime has long blackish purple hair that extends down her back, with some strands tied behind her head, thin eyebrows, brown eyes and a scar on the right side of her face that crosses the bridge of her nose. She is slender and of average height.
Utahime wears a traditional miko outfit (consisting of a white kosode and red umanori styled hakama pants), despite wearing modern brown colored boots.
On her day off, Utahime wears a dark purple baseball hat, white overalls over a black low-cut, long-sleeved shirt, and dark colored shoes.
While Utahime was a student, she wore her hair in two pigtails and had no scar on her face, but still wore the same miko clothes.
Utahime Iori Personality
Utahime is a calm, kind yet stern individual who tries to set an example for her students. However, Satoru Gojo knows exactly how to push her buttons and angers her in almost every exchange they’ve had.
When Satoru told her she couldn’t be a traitor because she was too weak, Utahime threw her cup of tea at him. She often tells him to respect his elders because she’s older than him but he never listens.

Utahime later meets up with the other staff members to watch the event, and just before it begins, Gojo has her make a speech to the students but doesn’t give her enough time for one.

As the three head over to the site, they notice that a screen is covering the site. Utahime tells Gojo to head in before the site is fully covered. When Gojo says that the site is already covered, the three stop right in front of the screen.
They decide to test out the screen and find that Gojo is the only one that can’t enter, both Utahime and Yoshinobu head inside. Once inside, the two encounter Juzo Kumiya and Yoshinobu decides to take fight him alone while she goes to look for the students.
As Utahime heads towards the students, she encounters Haruta Shigemo, another intruder. When Mai Zenin and Nobara Kugisaki show up to assist Utahime when the screen is lifted, causing the enemy to run away.
