According to the official lore of the manga written and illustrated by Gege Akutami, Jujutsu Kaisen, December 7th was the birthday of the character Satoru Gojou, the teacher at the Jujutsu High School in Tokyo Prefecture. In commemoration, several Twitter accounts made publications to celebrate the event.
The account of the MAPPA animation studios, which are behind the production of the animated adaptation, published: "Happy Birthday! December 7th is Satoru Gojou's birthday. This illustration was presented during the MAPPA SHOWCASE event, and we have an exhibition point with a beautiful place to take pictures! We look forward to your visit.
🎂HAPPY BIRTHDAY🎂

On the other hand, eStream's SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE FIGURE division developed during the MAPPA SHOWCASE event the uncolored prototype of a next 1/7th scale figure based on the character Satoru Gojou. More details will be revealed soon and perhaps the most knowledgeable people already realized, but for those who don't, this figure is based on the cover of the fourth compilation volume of the original manga.
