Japanese use the word "jinx" even in Japanese. But I found there are a bit difference between Japanese and English. In Japanese language, "jinx" has both good and bad meanings. But I was surprised it seems to be used for just a bad thing in English. According to an English dictionary, it means bad luck, or a person or thing that is believed to bring bad luck.
I also checked a Japanese dictionary. According to that, originally it was also bad meaning in Japanese. But now, it is used for good luck too. Language is changing.
