Gackt (aka Gakuto, aka Camui Gackt, aka Gackt M.S. Camui) is an extremely well-known and much-admired Japanese pop/rock star. He claims to have been born on July 4, 1540; however, slightly more reliable sources indicate his birthdate is probably closer to July 4, 1973.
He was first a member (vocalist) of the band Cains:Feel. However, his popularity and charisma because apparent only after he became the lead vocal for the band Malice Mizer. He joined the band in late (October) of 1995. They enjoyed a successful career together until 1998, when the Gackt departed from the band. ((The other members are as follows: Mana (guitar and vocals), Kozi (guitar and vocals), Tetsu (vocals), Yu~ki (bass), Kami (drums). )) There are several different reasons given as to why Gackt left the group, including that the rest of the band asked that he leave, despite his wishes to stay with them.
After leaving Malice Mizer, Gackt embarked upon a very successful solo career. He has written stories, starred in movies (most notably the film <i>Moonchild</i>, in which he acted alongside Hyde of L'arc~en~Ciel fame.), designed clothing, done work on a video game (Bujingai), and opening a restaurant. He also defeated Matsumoto of the group Downtown in a game of pool on the pop culture show "Hey Hey Hey!" and became the King of Billiards.

A j-rock (arguably considered visual kei, j-pop or j-punk) singer. Many people find him extremely attractive, at least partially to his mysterious, semi-gothic persona and unique, almost soft vocals. Formerly of the band Malice Mizer, he claims to be 400 years old (other estimates place him in his late twenties, early thirties) and frequently changes his image. He's far from attention-shy and neither confirms... nor denies questions about his sexuality- in fact, he encourages them.

Full Name: Gackt Camui or spelled Gakuto Kamui in Japanese. He was once apart of a VK band Malice Mizer, but now is solo. He is known for his great unique voice and looks. He is a bit eccentric and love a variety of objects like skulls as one.

A 400-year-old vampire and one of the hottest Jrock singer of Japan. He does some pop but people who consider him as a jpop singer are morons, really. He has an awsome voice and is extremely elegant.
