Geki


 * "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
 * —Geki

Geki (激-Literally meaning "Fierce") is a claw-wielding ninja who also uses shurikens and teleportation techniques. He fights in a meadow from where Mount Fuji can be seen. Like most of the characters from Street Fighter, very little information has been revealed about him.

Alternate Continuities
In the UDON comic book miniseries "Street Fighter Legends: Ibuki", Geki refers not to an individual, but an entire clan of shinobi. In issue #1, a Geki assassin with a claw attacks Ibuki, but is defeated. The reason for this animosity is explained that Ibuki's village was founded by a shinobi who left the Geki clan; it is implied but never explicitly stated that this is the same individual who partook in the first World Warrior tournament. One of the Geki ninjas receives an assignment to kill Gen, ultimately failing, while other members of the clan are summoned by Vega to fight Zangief and E. Honda in the Japanese qualifying round for the second World Warrior tournament.

Theories

 * It is a possibility that Geki was the one who trained Vega in the art of Ninjutsu, since he went to Japan to study it according to the canon storyline.

Trivia

 * Wielding his claw, Geki is one of the first two characters in the Street Fighter series to have any sort of weapon, the other being Eagle with his clubs.
 * Geki was one of five characters (the other being Retsu, Lee, Mike, and Joe) from the original Street Fighter arcade game to never return in the later Street Fighter games, though Mike and Joe lookalikes were seen in the SFII arcade intro, but were never playable or seen in-game.
 * Interestingly enough, Geki's costume appears as a swap costume for Tekken's Lars Alexandersson in Street Fighter X Tekken.
