A sample of a cover song by Pokota "Outsider", composed by Eve |
Pokota (ぽこた) is an utaite on Nico Nico Douga with an airy, rather nasally voice that has been described as being delicate yet strong at the same time.
He originally made an account on Nico Nico Douga back in 2008 and uploaded covers of songs to show his skill in impersonating GACKT, as his voice had been said to sound similar to a younger GACKT. Pokota has since steered away from being compared to him and is now recognized as a singer in his own right.
Pokota is part of a doujin circle called Egamyer with keyboarder Rino.
He is also a member of RootFive (√5), which consists of himself, Kettaro, Mi-chan, and koma'n.
