Takahiro Sakurai
Voice ActorVoice actor, narrator, and Japanese radio personality Takahiro Sakurai voices Suguru Geto, and by extension Kenjaku, in Jujutsu Kaisen. Working since the mid-1990s, he has become one of anime's most prolific leading men, known for roles spanning heroic protagonists to calculating villains.
Jujutsu Kaisen Role
Sakurai voices Suguru Geto in the Japanese version of Jujutsu Kaisen, a childhood friend of Satoru Gojo whose turn toward villainy sets much of the story's plot in motion. Because the curse user Kenjaku later takes over Geto's body, Sakurai's credit covers both identities. It is a rare chance for Sakurai, known largely for heroic leads, to carry a character who slides from sympathetic to menacing over the course of the series.
Career and Notable Roles
Sakurai's other major roles include Cloud Strife across the Final Fantasy VII Compilation titles, Suzaku Kururugi in Code Geass, and Arataka Reigen in Mob Psycho 100, along with Giyu Tomioka from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. On the villain side, he has voiced Sasori in Naruto Shippuden and Rohan Kishibe from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable. He also serves as the go-to Japanese dubbing voice for actor Robert Pattinson.
