Trivia

The alleged sprite.
  • He hasn't been seen outside of the original Street Fighter.
  • Coincidently, Street Fighter II has another warrior with a mask and claw named Vega ("Balrog" in Japan). Due to this, it has been speculated that Geki was the one who taught Vega ninjutsu. However, this has never been confirmed nor denied.
  • For years, there has been speculation that Ibuki (one of the fighters from Street Fighter III) is Geki's daughter. This has never been confirmed nor denied.
  • Enjou, a ninja that's part of Ibuki's clan in the background of her stage, is often mistaken for Geki.
  • Geki uses a special move where for a period of time he becomes invisible, until he is hit by his opponent.
  • When Geki wins a round in the original Street Fighter, there is a split second frame (before he disappears in smoke) of him removing his mask and gi revealing a recolored sprite of Ryu with grey hair, blue headband and attire. This is only found in the WORLD version.

Jidai Geki (1734 words)
It has evolved over the years to be many things, a platform for social and political criticism, an entry point for foreigners to experience an exotic view of the country, and as a popular venue for bloody and heroic action.
The greatest of the exploitation jidai geki is arguably the six-movie adaptation of the popular Lone Wolf and Cub manga, produced by Shintaro and starring his elder brother Tomisaburo Wakayama.
As many jidai geki films remain unavailable to Western audiences and few books have been written specifically about the subject, this introduction remains a work in progress as more facts are uncovered.
