Sket Dance is about a group of high school kids called "Sket Dan", who start their own high school club around helping people out. The heroes are Himeko, a fiery redheaded former-delinquent who favors cute things and weird food, "Switch," an otaku nerd who speaks via computer, and Bossun, the charismatic leader.
Dante, the vocalist of a band named JardiN, was modeled after rock singer Gackt, and he himself voiced the character, and performed the song "Iki Toshi Ikeru Subete ni Tsugu", which Dante performs in the story.[4]
