GACKT will be portraying the character of Dante, lead vocalist for visual kei band, JardiN. The writer of the original manga, Shinohara Kenta, commented that GACKT was the inspiration behind the character of Dante, so it is very fitting to have GACKT be the voice of the character. Sharing his thoughts about playing the role of Dante, GACKT commented, “He said he wants me to bring my image up front so I thought that I will do my best not to change my image.”

The Japanese singer and actor Gackt will voice a guest role in Supernatural the Animation, MADHOUSE's video anime series based on the live-action American television series Supernatural. The original live-action series follows the Winchester brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) as they hunt creatures and other supernatural phenomena across the American landscape.
Gackt will play Andy, a character who appeared early in the live-action series. Like Sam Winchester, Andy received special powers from a demon as one of the chosen "Special Children." Andy will be a crucial character in the "Erabareshimono-tachi Zenpen" (The Chosen Ones Part I), which is the last episode of the first anime season.
According to Eiga.com, Gackt watches many overseas live-action television series, but the original Supernatural series is one of his favorites. He will make a guest appearance at the world premiere of the anime version on February 3. Warner Home Video will launch the anime on Blu-ray and DVD in Japan with a starter disc on February 23, followed by two boxes on March 9 and April 6.
Padalecki and Ackles will dub two episodes in the second box into English, along with their Japanese dubbing counterparts Yuya Uchida (Soul Eater's Dr. Franken Stein, Naruto Shippuden's's Rinji) as Sam and Hiroki Touchi (Trinity Blood's Abel Nightroad, Bokurano's Kokkpelli) as Dean. Gackt himself has voiced roles Tono to Issho, Shiki, and New Fist of the North Star. He alsonarrated last year's commercial for the Berserk anime project.
