Sukekiyo (stylized as sukekiyo and also referred to in katakana form as スケキヨ) is a Japanese rock band formed in 2013 by Dir En Grey vocalist Kyo. It is sometimes referred to as a supergroup as every member of the band is or has been in other well-known acts in the Japanese visual kei movement, although only Kyo is currently active in another band.

Sukekiyo was formed as a side project^[4] by Kyo along with members of other Japanese rock bands. The name derives from Seishi Yokomizo's novel The Inugami Clan.^[5] The band's activities are by periods as Kyo's main project Dir En Grey is still his priority.^[6]

In November 2014, they announced a new mini-album called Vitium, which contained 8 new tracks^[7] and released on February 4, 2015.^[8] The limited edition came with a second disc that includes collaborations with other artists such as X Japan vocalist Toshi and actor Hiroshi Mikami.^[9]

On June 21, 2017, Sukekiyo released their second full-length studio album, Adoratio.^[10] Daniel Ash, guitarist for the iconic goth rock band Bauhaus, is one of the many features and collaborations on this album. He provided with an exclusive remix of the track "maneira", on Disc 2.^[11] During that same year, for the November 22 Mucc tribute album Tribute of Mucc -En-, they covered "Gerbera".^[12]
