Suguru Geto (Japanese: 夏油 傑, Hepburn: Getō Suguru) is a fictional character from Gege Akutami's manga Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Suguru Geto is a powerful sorcerer who was previously friends with Satoru Gojo. He seeks the Queen of Curses Rika Orimoto, who in turn is searching for the protagonist of the prequel series, Yuta Okkotsu. Geto also appears in the main series Jujutsu Kaisen series which, through flashbacks, further explores his friendship with Gojo and their eventual antagonism towards one another. In the main series, his corpse is controlled by Kenjaku (Japanese: 羂索, Hepburn: Kenjaku), an ancient sorcerer who uses the Cursed Technique of transplanting his brain into other bodies. Kenjaku's goal is to evolve humanity through Cursed Energy to create a new golden age of Jujutsu sorcery similar to the Heian period.
Shinobu Sensui, an antagonist from Yoshihiro Togashi's manga series YuYu Hakusho, inspired Akutami to create Geto, wanting also to explore prejudice through his character. Kenjaku was influenced by Naruto antagonist Orochimaru, with both being immortal sorcerers who use vessels to continue living. In the anime adaptations of Jujutsu Kaisen, the character is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai in Japanese and Lex Lang in English.
The character was praised by critics for his role in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, coming across as a striking villain in his fights against Yuta and his class, while also developing a deep relationship with Gojo upon the revelation of their connection. The revelation of Kenjaku controlling Geto's body in the main series resulted in mixed responses due to its effect on the narrative and Geto.
