In chapter 64 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Nobara is approached by Ozawa Yuko, an ex-schoolmate of Itadori. She has had a crush on Itadori since middle school days, owing to it to his genuinely kind and honest nature.
Yuko was initially a timid and reserved character and appeared to have a crush on Itadori after she found out that he liked her during a difficult time when others would pick on her for her weight.
Nobara calls in Fushiguro to get insights into Itadori’s existing love life. Fushiguro hypothesizes, Itadori probably does not have a girlfriend because- He has some inappropriate posters hanging in his room that usually teenage girlfriends would not approve of
Yuji Itadori (虎 (いた) 杖 (どり) 悠 (ゆう) 仁 (じ) , Itadori Yūji? ) is the main protagonist of the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He is the son of Jin Itadori and grandson of Wasuke Itadori who was living a normal life until he encountered Megumi and ate one of Sukuna ‘s fingers.
Who calls Itadori immediately?
I am not one to argue with such solid reasoning. After Yuko and Nobara hear Itadori is into tall girls, (Yuko happens to be tall), Nobara calls Itadori immediately. Itadori recognises Yuko immediately to the surprise of Nobara and Fushiguro. However, Yuko isn’t able to say much of anything let alone ask for his number. Yuko Ozawa is never mentioned again, so that’s neither here nor there.

Who is Itadori’s love interest?
Hence, due to the nature of the show’s subject matter, and the innate focus on converging plotlines, Jujutsu Kaisen has completely omitted Itadori’s only love interest, Yuko Ozawa. In Akutami’s manga, Yuko was first introduced as Itadori’s classmate in his junior high school.
Generally fair, ethically grounded, yet quick to anger, Itadori carries a sacrificial streak within the ambit of his actions , most likely triggered by his grandfather’s final words. Post his enrollment in Tokyo Jujutsu High, Itadori developed a plethora of skills, along with the exceedingly rare ability to contain Sukuna’s soul.
Submitting to the power of a malicious demon, Itadori aches in his innate powerlessness, doing everything in his power to do right by the values he holds dear.
Despite positing Yuji Itadori as a well-fleshed-out protagonist, Jujutsu Kaisen has decided to cut his sole love interest, Yuko Ozawa. Here’s why. Romance isn’t a major element in the action-packed world of Jujutsu Kaisen, especially in the coming-of-age arc of protagonist Yuji Itadori, which is why a particular character was cut.

Later, in Chapter 64 of the manga, when Yuko meets up with Itadori, she reveals the true nature of her feelings to Nobara and Megumi, who confirm that Yuji does not have a girlfriend as of date.

Initially portrayed as timid and reserved, Yuko appeared to have a crush on Itadori after finding out that he liked her at a time wherein others picked on her for her weight. Although she harbors feelings for him for quite some time, Yuko decides not to reveal them to Itadori after having a conversation with him, even mustering the courage to ask him for a picture together on graduation day. Later, in Chapter 64 of the manga, when Yuko meets up with Itadori, she reveals the true nature of her feelings to Nobara and Megumi, who confirm that Yuji does not have a girlfriend as of date. After learning that Yuji has a preference for tall girls, Yuko is emboldened to a certain extent but ultimately decides not to reveal her feelings in the end. All in all, this is something that hasn’t happened in the anime and may not for some time, if at all.
