Pokota

Pokota (ぽこた) is a very popular utaite on Nico Nico Douga. He originally made an account on NND back in 2008, and uploaded covers of songs to show his skill in impersonating Gackt, as their voices are very similar. He eventually managed to steer away from being compared to Gackt and was recognized as a singer in his own right. His voice, somewhat predictably, is of the deeper Gakupo type. Pokota often collaborates together with Hanatan and Nero.
