Gackt has never released his real name or birth date. Since his Malice Mizer era, Gackt claims to be a vampire born on July 4, 1540. Media speculation is that he was actually born on July 4, 1973. Further investigation has led researchers to believe that his real name is Satoru Okabe, but none of this is known for certain. Gackt was born in Okinawa, Japan and was raised by strict parents. At the age of seven, Gackt nearly drowned in the sea of Okinawa. According to his autobiography (Jihaku), after being saved, he developed paranormal abilities, seeing things and people that others could not. As a result, he was committed to isolation in a mental hospital. In the same autobiography, Gackt claims he does not want to have children so that he won't pass these problematic abilities to them.

OMG....I never knew this until I read the AF profile. That makes him even more lovable.

Honestly this rumour is annoying. No Gackt does not believe he's a vampire or that he's over 400 yrs old. That was a joke he made back when he was part of the gothic visual kei band Malice Mizer. Hosts like to bring it up on his television appearances as a joke ,but thats it, it's just a joke. Oh and Gackts not gay either he's actually been married before.

He got married to some Korean woman but they got a divorce because his fame was putting a strain on their relationship...

Said that he'll never marry again...

He's not exactly gay, according to him kissing guys is like you're close firends with them...

This is what happens when you're a big fan of Gackt...

I think he's a good singer too and I love that song too

Btw, did they use him as the model for the game "Metal Gear Solid 2"? I'm not sure but I thought I heard that somewhere?!

Gackt didn't model a charecter for Metal Gear Solid 2 he did a series of commercials for the game. And theres also a hidden part in the game where you can hear part of one of his songs ,as well as a hidden dog tag with his name on it. Heres a link to a commercial he did for the game:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7IzXVgl8U5k

And most of what you hear about the Final Fantasy protaganist being based on Gackt are rumours. The only confirmed charecter he modeled was in Dirge of Cerberus

Back in highschool, there was a white girl told me that she was dating Gackt and Hyde was her ex boyfriend. She told me that they were residing here in the US. She even showed me their pictures and stuffs. I thought they were so cute and she was a lucky little b!tch. >_< A year later, I read somewhere and found out they are japanese celebs. hahaha silly me, I never knew about them until then.

yeah, heard squall was based on river phoenix too, not gackt. wish i could remember where i read this but as of right now, i can't find the link or site.

he looks better without all the get-up in my opinion, but at the same time, he looks really plain too.

different strokes for different folks i guess. his music is pretty good though.
