Maki Zen'in (Japanese: 禪院 真希, Hepburn: Zen'in Maki) is a fictional character from Gege Akutami's manga Jujutsu Kaisen 0. She is a young student from Jujutsu High, mentored by Satoru Gojo. While working on missions involving Curses, Maki mentors the newcomer Yuta Okkotsu who is trying to control the undead Rika which is attacking innocent people. The manga mentions Maki's origins as a reject from the Zen'in clan which is further explored in the sequel Jujutsu Kaisen where she is one year older and deals with several enemies.
Akutami created Maki as a character whose origins would be further explored in the series future with her fighting style being a mix of several ones envisioned in one. She is voiced by Mikako Komatsu in Japanese and Allegra Clark in English. Critical response to Maki's character has been positive in both Jujutsu Kaisen and the prequel for her striking personality and fighting skills, with the latter often noted to be strange to see in series aimed towards a male demography.
