Life

Childhood

Geki was an orphan that got into the care of the Graad Foundation along with 99 others, owned by Mitsumasa Kido. Unknown to the boy, Mitsumasa was actually his and the other 99 children's father. They trained their bodies to be able to become Saints of Athena, and Geki trained his muscle's far more than the others. As it was time to travel to their training location, he picked the ticket to the Rocky Mountains in Canada. It was a rough training, and to be able to use the technique "Hanging Bear" he strangled many bears by breaking their necks. Eventually after 6 years he earned the Bear Bronze Cloth and returned to Japan.

Galaxian Wars

He faced Pegasus Seiya in the first round of the galaxy tournament, using mainly his great physical strength applied partially to his technique called Big Tackle, and while having great confidence in his special technique, "Hanging Bear", it would mean his undoing. While utilizing the technique on Seiya, he failed to notice that the Pegasus Saint obliterated the atoms in his arm cloths. Seiya then kicked Geki with a kick beyond the speed of sound, and served his defeat. Geki, along with Unicorn Jabu, Wolf Nachi, Hydra Ichi, and Lionet Ban were ashamed after their losses at the galaxy tournament, so with Athena's permission they left for their masters that trained them.

To the Goddess rescue

During the battle of the 12 palaces, Tatsumi and Athena (Who is at the time currently with an arrow in her breast)are attacked by guards. Geki and the other bronze knights arrive in the knick of time and defeat the guards. They stayed until Seiya has reached Gemini Saga, were as he sent his cosmo to the Pegasus Saint to help. It proved to some extent successful, and Seiya eventually was able to save Athena.

eika's protector

As Seiya were fighting against the God Thanatos and his sister Seika had appeared in Sanctuary, Geki and Ban joined their comrades Jabu, Ichi, Nachi, Shaina, Marin and Kiki. They defended Seika against the god's powers but were eventually outwitted, but Seika sensed Seiya in that moment and made Pegasus able to defeat Thanatos with his God Cloth.

Cloth and Constellation

The Bronze Bear Cloth represents the constellation Ursa Major, and is depicted as the Bear Callisto was turned into. The anime version doesn't differ from the original, except for the addition of leg armor and the shoulder pads are placed horizontally.

Notes

*According to the International Body Mass Index Geki is overweight, but this is mostly due to his muscles.

*Since the meaning of the kanji of Geki's name is Manifesto, it's very likely that Masami Kurumada used it only phonetically, without and intended or implicit meaning.
