GACKT Accused Of Evading Taxes And Having An Illegitimate Child Overseas

The multi-talented former vocalist of Malice Mizer has never revealed his true profile, and with a mysterious aura around him, is a celebrity in the world of show business. For the ambiguity in GACKT's accumulated fortune, the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau was obligated to open an investigation into his finances. When they did, it became evident that GACKT has a mistress and an illegitimate child overseas.

On August 28th, officials from the taxation bureau, inspected his apartment, known for being the head office for GACKT's entertainment business, Godey Holdings, as well as his and his family's home.

A friend of GACKT's stated, "The officers not only did a complete investigation of the company, but also of GACKT’s home, and even confiscated his cell phone. Every year GACKT pays an additional tax of 120,000,000 yen to avoid these types of investigations, and therefore as expected, he is extremely shocked about the inspection".

While collecting information about GACKT's financial flow, we’ve also come to understand the flow of money being used for his overseas lover. Another friend broke the silence about this detail stating: "About ten years ago, he was in a relationship with an assistant girl who worked on the TBS-kei show, "Wonderful", but when knowledge of her pregnancy came into light, he demanded that she eave Japan, and that he did not acknowledge the child. Instead, he has taken care of them by setting both the girlfriend and child up in a high class condominium in Canada".

Canada and confirmed that the girlfriend does exist.

The investigation started in the early morning, and lasted for a long period of time and along with his cell phone, the officers also confiscated his account book and computer. The investigation started when the tax office realised that he had been evading taxes, and collecting “black money”.

A TV Report recently reported the theories of the investigators: "The girl was pregnant and if it was exposed to the fans that GACKT was a man with a wife and kids it would ruin his image. Worrying about the girl, it was decided that she would be taken care of with a life overseas, and that GACKT would not acknowledge the child".

The woman and child are currently living together in Vancouver in an apartment that costs 400,000 yen a month in rent.

From October, GACKT was scheduled to appear as a regular guest on Kitagawa Keiko's Nippon TV drama, "Akumachan". Will this situation affect his career?

    Generals... No definite tiem on phone removal... and the TV report doesn't say what channel while it says where he was to appear... hmmm... could be publicity stunt, or fake reporting for money, either way it seems to be all lies.

    Omg, lol xD For me he could even have a dozen of illegitimate, not acknowledged children living overseas. I don't care about his personal life, I'm just a fan of his music.

    Hei guys, you really believe all stupid things are real???
    In the fisrt time I read this all I can think is worry for Gackt, he surely be hurt about this. They wanted to ruin him, that's all. Nothing true.
    Finally he wrote at his blog and just laughed out. So it's good because he's still fine. He has many new project: new single, new drama, new tour ... He doesn't care about those rumor. Real fans will calm and trust him to the end. That's all.

    Shame on people criticize in the beginning of this case. Nowaday newspapers, magazine just write for money, not the truth!

    Gackt wrote at his blog about this. He just laughed about it and said that this is a stupid rumor.
    As I said. Somebody wanted to ruin him or something~

    I find it odd that it has been a week since the posting of this article and everywhere I try to find more info about this, everything leads only back to jpopasia... makes it seem like it might have just been from a gossip tabloid and only this website made a big fuss about it. I don't know if I can believe it yet since many who are talking about it are only getting the info from here.

    I just can't believe this. It sounds totally unbeleavable to me. Now, all of a sudden all these information are released. But no clear facts. Court? Jail? Or anything else? No, just general facts... a lot of facts and I just can't believe that anyone (even if it's supposed to be a friend of Gackt and I don't think that this man who is the boyfriend of Ayumi Hamasaki... tell me when I'm wrong...) could have known about this in detail. This is such a fucking shit.
    I hope he will tell us soon about this and tells the true. He is a very mysterious guy and I can partly think that he could do something like that (and I'm a fan)... but he would never do this cause he is "bad" (don't know any better word now, too lazy to use the translater... >.<). He is a great man and if this is true I think he won't show this "child" to public. He will keep it save in far-away-Canada that it won't have to suffer from the fame of his "father". I would do the same if I were him.
    But still, I need facts! True facts!

    This all sounds rather fishy to me. All in one article? Nothing about this investigation as it was happening? No talk of court or jail time? I need more information to fully make an opinion. And maybe there are more articles, written in Japanese that I can't read.Who knows...

    Ok so apparently the entire nation of "Canada" confirmed this? I live here, and I didn't confirm it. This sounds like tabloid junk to me. I don't believe this and I think it's poor that Yesasia didn't even bother doing a proof-read through their own posting before getting ever fan's pants in a bunch! I'm disappointed.

    And what does that kid thinks now that his/her papa dates this iconiq publicly while his/her mama is kept in secret and is unloved? And if iconiq and gackt will have a child together, this first one will be neglected even more? Sorry for getting so emotional over this, but this is exactly what happened to me and I must admit I hate to hear stories similar to my own. There's nothing that can heal the feeling of being the inferior child, and it completely ruins one's life.

    I'm so disappointed. As a fan, I'd like to think he was a good, honest person. This feels like a slap in the face.

    Its kinda crazy that the girl was forced to leave japan. I mean was her whole life not there? So what if he is famous and that would ruin his image? That seems really unfair to her and her son/daughter
