BUJINGAI!

Bujingai - The Forsaken City is set in a distopian future where nuclear war has devastated the planet, Gackt (with violet hair) is the hero Lau Wong, who must fight his best friend Lei (gentleman with silver hair) to save what is left of the world,  also in the image, his mentor and 'love interest.' named Yohfa.

The 'single-shooter' game has Lau as the only playable character, he is of course, an amazing swordsman who can run up walls - at the time of it's release in 2003 (US release 2004 on the PlayStation2)  the game featured state-of-the-art graphics, most noteably in Lau's flamboyant costuming and 'frenetic battle-scenes' - an added feature are interviews with Gackt on providing his voice and motion-capture, as well as a way to switch from playing Lau to Gackt himself.

Lau Wong

A nice touch is the extra points you can gain for fighting with style.

 Taito who created the game was later purchased by Square Enix, who made Gackt into another red-headed game avatar in the spin offs of their most popular title - Final Fantasy VII

Plus detailed images of the costume would be good as I want to make a Gackt Paper Doll costume of Lau.

Oh, that would be hot! Alright - I'll scan the translation and the sheets for Lau as well as any artwork, most of the book is taken up by monster concept design but there's a substantial amount of Lau. :)
