[Kamui Gakupo] Vocaloid2 Gakupoid


Kamui Gakupo (神威がくぽ) is an official mascot character of Gackpoid(がくっぽいど) which is a singing synthesizer application software powered by Yamaha's Vocaloid2 and was published by Internet Co., Ltd. As Internet Co. wanted to utilize the voice of a singer for the creation of Vocaloid but felt it would be difficult to acquire cooperation. They consulted Dwango Co.,Ltd. who managed Nico Nico Douga, and Dwango suggested Camui Gackt (神威 楽斗), a singer and an actor, as he had previously provided his voice for Dwango's cell phone services.


Camui Gackt



He lent his voice and named the Vocaloid, Gackpoid. The product was originally intended to be released in June 2008, but although Gackt existed as a model for the Vocaloid, its illustrated avatar was yet to be determined. Finally a popular manga author Kentarou Miura, famous for his dark fantasy epic Berserk, was asked for his cooperation. Due to Miura's affection for Nico Nico Douga, he agreed to offer his services as a character designer for free. Gackpoid was released on July 31, 2008. Gackpoid includes a new program, OPUS Express, for mixing vocal parts with accompaniment and phoneme data. Two of Gackt's songs and other three songs are also included as samples.


Kamui Gakupo has a samurai aesthetic: the Vocaloid is clad in a Jinbaori, a kind of kimono which was used as a battle surcoat, with parts of Japanese armor, and carries a katana which was named “Music katana, Miburi”(楽刀・美振,Gakutou Miburi). The patterns on its blade make sounds as a musical instrument when it is swung down. His fanmade character item is an eggplant.
