Vocaloid/Characters

Organized in semi-alphabetical and sorta-chronological order by company, starting from the Japanese vocals, down to notable fanmade/miscellaneous derivatives.

Please note that due to most Vocaloids having no official personality and/or backstory, a good number of these tropes apply to specific songs or any canon material (if available).

The Japanese Vocaloids
'''Note: All Japanese names are in surname-given name order, as this is their formal product name arrangement. For consistency, the names of the providers of the voice banks are in the same format.'''

SF-A2 miki
 Voiced by: Furukawa Miki   Illustrated by: Kozaki Yusuke   Release date: December 4th, 2009 (V2); June 18th, 2015 (V4) 

SF-A2 codename miki (shortened by most people to "SF-A2 miki" or simply "Miki" for the sake of brevity) is the eighth Japanese Vocaloid overall and the first one released by AH-Software (along with the first in their "Vocal Artist" series). Additionally, Miki was also the first Vocaloid to have a demo CD included with her release.

 * Ahoge: Sports one so huge, she won't be out of place as an Ultimate protagonist.
 * Animal Motifs: Her illustrator has her hoodie pulled up with bear-like ears and a puffball tail here. This has also her to be associated with sheep, which you can also see here and here.

 * Cleavage Window: Her V4 design has two small ones.

 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Expressive Hair: Fans have speculated that her ahoge changes according to her mood, making her default 'question-mark' mood curiosity. Whether this means she also counts as The Ditz is debatable.
 * Fingerless Gloves: In her unofficial 2012 design.

 * Human Alien: Fans also have speculated that she may be some kind of alien, due to her doll joints, unusual name, and her star motifs.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: A lot of fans take her innocence/curiosity as a rouse to hide pure awesome.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Inverted most of the time, as she's usually used in cheerful or upbeat songs.
 * Ridiculously-Human Robots:
 * Downplayed; she has robotic joints, and was designed with the concept of "android made with inorganic materials" in mind.
 * Played straight in her V4 design, which is more in line with the traditional human-like Vocaloid designs.
 * Surprisingly Good English: Like younever expected.
 * Symbol Motif Clothing: Generally associated with stars.

 * Bishonen:
 * If his original look above isn't enough, see "Hot Teacher" below.

Nekomura Iroha
 Voiced by: Yoshitate Kyounosuke   Illustrated by: Okama   Release date: October 22nd, 2010 (V2); June 18th, 2015 (V4)  Nekomura Iroha was released by AH-Software (not in the Vocal Artist series) as the fourteenth Japanese Vocaloid. She was created in conjunction with Sanrio for their Together with Hello Kitty! video game project. Thus, she was an established character before the Vocaloidification (her character was created by illustrator okama for the video game project.

Okama defines her as a "kittyler", or Hello Kitty Fan Girl. Thus, the fanbase follows up on this.


 * Animal Motifs: Cats.
 * Arm Cannon: Her Dynamic-Phonon Busters, gigantic speakers that attach to her arms. Only spewing sounds, but cannons nonetheless.
 * Fan Girl: Of Hello Kitty.
 * Meaningful Name: "Nekomura" is Japanese for "cat village", while "Iroha" is the Japanese equivalent of "ABC".

 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * Short Hair with Tail
 * Tomboy:
 * Due to her deep voice, she's sometimes portrayed as this.
 * Some producers are able to subvert this stereotype either by raising her voice (with good tuning) like in Banton Summer Sky, or by making her sing opera like this amazing rendition of Ave Maria (potentially giving the classic style Vocaloids like Prima and Miriam a run for their money).
 * Updated Rerelease: Received a V4 update, together with Natural and Soft voicebanks.
 * Vocal Dissonance: Hotly contested, as part of the fanbase believe her voice is too deep for her design, while others believe she's simply tomboyish. Additionally, it was later revealed that her voice provider to be male.

 Voiced by: Satou Satomi   Illustrated by: Edomura Ninico   Release date: June 5th, 2014 (V3); October 27th, 2016 (V4) 

Tohoku Zunko was originally released for the Voiceroid as a mascot of the recovery movements of the 2011 Tohoku massive earthquake and tsunami. However, after a successful fundraising campaign, she got her own voicebank for the Vocaloid 3 engine.

Kizuna Akari is a Vocaloid developed as a successor (but by no means a replacement) of Yuzuki Yukari. She's the first original vocal for the V4 library, developed by Vocalomarkets (AH-Soft still takes part in giving advice and as the distributor). Just like Yukari, she also comes with a Voiceroid counterpart. However, unlike Yukari, Akari's Voiceroid bank landed on the markets first instead of being a simultaneous release.

The concept of her project is, "She illuminates you all with her voice."


 * Ahoge

 Voiced by: (Unknown)   Illustrated by: (Unknown) (V2); Manbou no Ane (V3); Himemi Sakamoto (V4/V5)   Release date: September 1st, 2010 (V2); October 21st, 2011 (V3); December 17th, 2014 (V4); July 12th, 2018 (V5)  VY1 (Codenamed "MIZKI", as a reference to the dogwood flower) is a Vocaloid developed and distributed by Bplats, Inc. for the Vocaloid 2 engine. Further developments and distributions for updates to newer engines were handled by YAMAHA Corporation instead.

Unlike most Vocaloids, VY1 has no official "character" avatar, with no canonical gender, personality or appearance, both to strengthen the notion that the product is a more "serious" synthesizer software, and to allow more creative freedom from its users. Its voice however, is described as "feminine". There is however, a design picked from the VocaFes contest for VY1: Kobushi Kiku. While the design is not VY1's official avatar, it's the closest to a visual perception, and is used in VY1's marketing.


 * Detached Sleeves: In her winning design.
 * The Faceless
 * Flower Motifs: Flowers appear on her box design, her product codename, and on Kobushi Kiku's kimono.
 * Fun with Acronyms: VY1 stands for "VOCALOID YAMAHA 1".
 * Iconic Item: The hairpin and fan in her boxarts, both are part of the Kanzashi.
 * Multicolored Hair: As Kobushi Kiku, she has pink and turqoise hair.
 * Rapunzel Hair: Again, in her winning design.
 * The Tease: In Nante Midara na Shiikensaa da.

 Voiced by: (Unknown)   Illustrated by: Nagimiso.SYS (wakizashi), Kazeno (sleeve)   Release date: April 25th, 2011 (V2); October 19th, 2012 (V3); July 12th, 2018 (V5)  VY2 (Codenamed "YUMA", which means "Brave Horse") is Bplats' second Vocaloid in the VY series, following VY1. Just like VY1, VY2 has no actual gender or personality, with its voice described as "masculine".

Just like VY1, a VocaFest design was picked for marketing and fan-related purposes, but the design is in no way the official avatar for VY2. The winning design is 66 (Roro).


 * Cool Sword: The wakizashi on its boxart.
 * The Faceless
 * Fun with Acronyms: VY2 stands for "VOCALOID YAMAHA 2".
 * Katanas Are Just Better: A wakizashi, technically. Some people in fandom even extend further into the joke and say that it is a katana, or even Gakupo's katana, making both duet in a few songs.
 * Nice Hat: As 66.
 * Ridiculously-Human Robots: Downplayed - As seen in this concept art, he looks more like a cyborg.
 * Rose Haired Guy: Roro has pink hair.
 * The Stoic: In Fanon.

Meiko
Meiko is the first Japanese Vocaloid to be created, and was released for the original Vocaloid engine. She was released by Crypton Future Media and voiced by Haigou Meiko.

 * The ones that don't usually have a sort of muted red/brown for her eyes.
 * She Who Fights Monsters/PayEvilUntoEvil: In Daughter of Vengeance, she leads the rebellion against Rin, who she plans to execute, but upon discovering that Len has pulled a Twin Switch with Rin, she kills him anyway, because he's the only person she (Rin) loves and Meiko wants to make her suffer like she suffered.
 * Stripperific: Her outfit, to a certain degree.
 * Team Mom: In Fanon, when she's not busy being the resident Bottle Fairy and beating up on Kaito.

 * Butt Monkey: There's even a pool on Danbooru called "Beating Kaito Shitless".

 * Noodle People: The style of his box art.
 * Scarf of Asskicking: In the vids he's allowed to look like a badass.

Hatsune Miku
The second Vocaloid for the Vocaloid2 engine, though the first from Japan, and Japan's third in total. She is voiced by Fujita Saki. Miku was the one who attracted popularity for the Vocaloid engine through some of her Memetic Mutation videos; before then, Vocaloid was nothing more than an obscure music virtual instrument. She is the first in Crypton's Character Vocal series, and thus has a code-name of CV01.

A separate release by Crypton, "Miku Append", features six new voice banks recorded by Fujita Saki, "soft," "solid," "dark," "light," "sweet," and "vivid," designed to capture different moods. The original Miku is required to be installed in order to install the Append. Also, an English bank is currently in development.

In Fanon she is portrayed as a kindly, cheerful girl, mostly to cater to the Otaku fandom as an "ideal girl". She has a bright, generally-used-for-high-pitch voice, which also has a very large song demographic.


 * A-Cup Angst: Most notably in one PV of "World is Mine" where she slaps her love interest with a leek for commenting on her breasts.
 * Anti-Gravity Clothing: Her square ribbons are stated to hold her hair in place without physically touching it.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Her new official "American" design.
 * Berserk Button: Do not touch Miku's panties. It never ends well.
 * Same applies to her leek.
 * According to Toyota, messing with her face will earn her wrath.
 * Badass: There are two videos that fit the description of showing her awesomeness... among other things.
 * This one (also with slow motion), and
 * this one. Besides, after her one moment of klutziness, she pulls off an even more Badass trick.
 * Character Celebrity Endorsement: She recently starred in Toyota's latest Corolla commercials (for the USA), as a result of Toyota being the main sponsor of her upcoming live concert at Anime Expo 2011 in Los Angeles.
 * Character Number: 39 (mi-ku). Her concert is 39's Giving Day (March 9), and her Facebook page needed 39,390 likes for her to get an English bank.
 * Entertainingly, '3-9' can also be read as 'san-kyu', or 'thank you'.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: When she's not portrayed as a Mary Sue. For example...
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Expressive Hair: In some fanart, at least.
 * Girlish Pigtails: All the way to the ground!
 * Green Is Blue: The color of her hair is all over the place because of this trope.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Her voice samples come from Fujita Saki
 * Hotter and Sexier: Her Append boxart has been accused of being oversexualized.
 * Jack of All Trades: As of her Append upgrade; her six extra voicebanks theoretically should give her the proper tonal qualities to produce most kinds of music now. Append was created in response to user complaints that Miku's voice was too cute and cheery for some of the songs people wanted to make with her.
 * Leotard of Power: Her Append design is made of this. Would've been taken more literally if she had a Power voicebank.
 * Mascot: Crypton uses her a lot to promote themselves.
 * Meaningful Name: 'Hatsune' means 'first sound'; Miku was the first Japanese Vocaloid2 character to be produced.
 * Panty Shot: Fandom universally has given her striped green panties.
 * Plucky Girl: In Fanon.
 * Sleepyhead / Lazy Bum: In a good number of her more humorous songs she talks about how she can't stay awake or complains about working (Triple Baka, Take It Easy and World is Mine come to mind).
 * She also sings Sloth's song in Mothy's Seven Deadly Sins series.
 * Smark: BE MIKU got her labeled as one.
 * Spotlight-Stealing Squad: She's one of the most popular out of all the Vocaloids, to the point that some people don't realize other Vocaloids exist.
 * Many of the others have similar levels of popularity...within the fandom. Non-fans usually only know about Miku. Crypton's mascotization of Miku doesn't help; they have, for example, 40 different collectible Vocaloid phone charms, 29 of which are Mikus. Vocaloid concerts also tend to be about 3/4ths Miku and 1/4th everyone else.
 * The Cameo: According to this trailer, she'll make an appearance in The iDOLM@STER 2 for the Play Station 3.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Usually portrayed as the girly girl to Rin's tomboy.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Negi/Leek. It came from her cover of the Ievan Polka, in which she discredited the Leekspin meme from Orihime and made it her own. Along with the leeks she also has a fondness for bacon wrapped hotdogs according to the Toyota ads.
 * Updated Rerelease: Miku Append, where she received an update that consisted of six new voicebanks: Soft, Sweet, Dark, Vivid, Solid, and Light. All of which reflect her moods and gives her more vocal range.
 * Yandere: Most notably in the song ACUTE, but if she's in a scenario where she loves KAITO and she gets rejected in favor of someone else, there will be pain.
 * Unless it happens to be with Len, in which case it turns into a I Want My Beloved to Be Happy situation.
 * Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance deserves a special mention mention. The meow doesn't help.
 * You Gotta Have Turquoise Hair: However, it may alternate between different shades of green and blue.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: wearing Thigh-High Boots. Rank A; can qualify for Rank S (with Tsundere added) depending on depictions.

Kagamine Rin / Kagamine Len


Formally distributed as a package together (officially they are Kagamine Rin/Len), Rin and Len make up the second Japanese Vocaloid to be released for the Vocaloid2 engine and the fourth overall. They are distributed by Crypton Future Media and voiced by Shimoda Asami. They are the second in the Character Vocal series and are thus codenamed CV02.

They later received an "ACT2" update voice package with an entirely new set of voices, although whether they're better are up to you. At the time, installing ACT2 required the original Rin/Len installation, but now only the ACT2 is currently being sold and the original is unavailable. In the same vein as Miku, they received an Append—Power, Warm, and Sweet for Rin; Power, Cold, and Serious for Len.

In Fanon, Rin is usually portrayed as a somewhat cruel Genki Girl and Len as a cute boy.

Debating on whether they are mirror images or twins will cause Internet Backdraft, as Crypton once described them as opposite sides of a mirror ("kagami" meaning "mirror"), but later changed it back to twins. Eventually they just took back both definitions and left it hanging to anyone's interpretation.


 * Big Brother Instinct / I Will Protect Her: While Rin is usually depicted as the older of the two, Len is usually portrayed as being very protective of her (Servant of Evil and Kaito ga Uninstall for example). This is usually what leads to his death.
 * Bishounen: Whenever Len's drawn to look older than a young teenager, he's this.
 * Butt Monkey: Often Len, but not nearly on the same par as Kaito.
 * Casanova: Len in "Spice!"...but according to many FanVids, his true love is.
 * Chick Magnet: Fanon has Len having a habit of triggering Cuteness Proximity in female Vocaloids.
 * Chronically-Killed Actor: Both Len and Rin.
 * Creepy Twins: "Trick and Treat".
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Fan Nickname: Quite a few fans have started using the nickname "Lenny" for Len, due to the number of PVs in which he dies.
 * In the Japanese fandom, Len tends to be called Ikelen (meaning Cool Len), whenever he's portrayed as cool or badass, which probably originated from his song Ikelenka.
 * Whenever his Casanova side comes to the fore, he's tagged as Maselen (Mature Len).
 * Genki Girl: Fanon interpretation of Rin.
 * Hair Decorations: Rin's ribbon.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Rin and Len are both voiced by Shimoda Asami Hence Cross-Dressing Voices can be applied to Len.
 * Half-Identical Twins/Opposite Gender Clone: Depending on what side of the twins vs. mirror images debate you're on.
 * Iconic Item: Aside from oranges and bananas, the roda rora (Roadroller) is also synonymous with the Kagamine twins.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Len, usually in regards to Rin and/or Miku.
 * Little Miss Badass: Many consider Rin to be the toughest of the Vocaloids.
 * Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: In fanon.
 * Meaningful Name: 'Kagamine' means 'mirror sound', to emphasize their mirror-image nature.
 * Only Sane Man: Len. C'mon, he's surrounded by not so smart Miku, Gumi and Kaito, Tsundere Rin, Meiko, and Luka, and naked-happy Gakupo (and Kaito).
 * Unless he's portrayed as a shota. Then the Only Sane Man is usually Luka.
 * Playing Against Type: Len gets unusually sexual in "SPICE!". "Mase Lenka" takes his sexuality Up to Eleven.
 * Plucky Girl: Rin in Fanon.
 * Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Len is depicted this way in quite a few videos.
 * Sailor Fuku: Rin, however, gets shorts, while Len gets the male version with the tie.
 * Separated at Birth: Played for Drama in many of their songs.
 * Sibling Yin-Yang: Songs usually describe Rin as outgoing, Tsundere, selfish, stubborn and/or plucky; Len is usually portrayed as intelligent, sensitive, cute, and/or serious. Their Appends stretched this further.
 * She's Got Legs: Rin's shorts are minuscule. Some fan artists elongate her shorts for dignity, as a result.
 * Project Diva 2 has proven that Len doesn't have bad looking legs either...
 * Stalker with a Crush: Len in Like, Dislike.
 * Stupid Sexy Flanders: Len, especially in Project Diva 2.
 * Here and here too. 'Legs that beg captivation' indeed...
 * Sweet Polly Oliver: The video for "Skeleton Life" has Rin pulling one of these.
 * They Killed Lenny: Len tends to die at the end of the songs he's in.
 * Rin also tends to die a lot - to a higher degree than Len, actually - but many people don't realize that.
 * Tomboy: Rin in fanon.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Oranges (Rin) and bananas (Len).
 * Trickster Archetype: Rin is very often portrayed as such in fanworks and songs.
 * And when Len gets in on it they become Trickster Twins.

 * Heck, the song itself refers to her as "Ojou-sama".
 * Token Loli: Both of them among the Cryptonloids, but Len especially.
 * Updated Rerelease: The Kagamine Rin/Len Append.
 * Villain Protagonist: They tend to be this in the darker songs.

 * What Have I Done: Rin in Message of Regret.
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: Rin wears short shorts!
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: Len has done so on a couple of occasions (sometimes against his will). And he looked quite good doing it.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Rin in Karakuri Burst.

Megurine Luka
Luka is the sixth Japanese Vocaloid and released by Crypton Future Media. Notable in that 1) she's actually given a Canon personality as "cool, somewhat mysterious", 2) she has both a Japanese and heavily accented English voicebank and 3) her given "age", 20, is significantly older than that of Miku's (16) and Rin/Len's (14). She is voiced by Asakawa Yuu.

As the third in Crypton's "Character Vocal" series, she is codenamed CV03.

Fanon portrays her just as her official profile says: The Stoic. Although...NotSoStoic tends to creep in.


 * Actor Allusion: In Tako Luka Tuna Fever there is a segment at about 1:37 in where a tuna has bitten her hand. Guess who else has animal troubles?
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Bilingual Bonus: Luka is the first Vocaloid to support phonemes for more than one language (Japanese and English).
 * Bokukko
 * Cool Big Sis: Some interpretations feature her as this.
 * Detached Sleeves: On her right arm.
 * Determinator: In Double Lariat.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: It depends on who's drawing her, but a lot of the time she only has one forearm sleeve.
 * She is depicted this way in the Vocaloid game, Project DIVA, along with in Hatsune Mix, the manga drawn by Luka's designer, KEI.
 * According to KEI, she was specifically drawn asymmetrical to reflect the fact she is bilingual.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Her voice samples come from Asakawa Yuu, most known for the voice of Sakaki and Motoko Aoyama.
 * Meaningful Name: 'Megurine' means 'revolving sound', referencing her bilingual capabilities.
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Only Sane Man: Again, just a common interpretation to Meiko's drunken Bottle Fairy, Kaito's ditzy Pollyanna, Miku's Mary Sue, etc. it seems she's the most calm-headed of them.
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * Surprisingly Good English: Much More often than you'd think.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * The Stoic: Most of the time as her official profile states.
 * Not So Stoic: In certain situations.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Tuna.
 * Asakawa Yuu stated to have followed the item competition that created this; when she found out it was tuna, she let out a Big No.
 * Tsundere: Extreme A-type in "Go Google It". Hell, the song's even nicknamed "Gugudere"!
 * Updated Rerelease: Confirmed to get an append after Meiko and before Kaito
 * A beta version sample can be found here
 * Whip It Good: One of her character items is a whip.
 * Yandere: Just as common as the Tsundere interpretation, almost on par with how often Miku plays the role. Most notable are The Tailor Shop On Enobizaka and RIP=RELEASE.
 * Love Disease. (Warning: The image is Nightmare Fuel for some).
 * Victoria's Secret Compartment: Hides a fork in her bra in the PV for "Go Google It"—which she uses to stab Gakupo in the hand.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: A sort of variation—her stockings do go past her skirt, but you can see it anyway because there is a slit in it.

Kamui Gakupo/Gackpoid


(His formal product name is "Gackpoid", but he is given an official character name of Kamui Gakupo.)

The fifth Japanese Vocaloid and the first to be distributed by Internet Co., Ltd. rather than Crypton. His outfit is based on that of a samurai. He was designed by Kentaro Miura (the creator of Berserk) and is voiced by Gackt. Yes, that Gackt.

Fanon portrays him as somewhat goofy.


 * Author Avatar: A variation; Gakupo is said to be "an extension of Gackt's persona".
 * Bishounen
 * The Casanova / Casanova Wannabe: Tends to be one or the other in fanon.
 * Defictionalization: Gackt held a Vocaloid contest in Nico Nico Douga where he will play the winning song made using Gackpoid. The winning song was Episode 0, and then Gackt sang it himself and made a PV in which he cosplayed as Gakupo, here.
 * Dogged Nice Guy: In "Go Google It".
 * Everythings Better With Eggplants: See Trademark Favorite Food.
 * Everything's Better with Samurai
 * Handsome Lech: Often portrated in fanart as a stalker to the other Vocaloids.
 * Harem Seeker: in Madness of Duke Venomania
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: He was created using Gackt's voice.
 * Katanas Are Just Better: According to the official profile, this katana actually serves some musical function.
 * Long-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Mr. Fanservice: He's based off of Gackt, OF COURSE he's Mr. Fanservice.
 * Serious Business: In Dancing Samurai, he believes that anyone who doesn't know how to dance should just die. Ouch.
 * The Danza: Named after Gackt.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Eggplant.
 * Updated Rerelease: Confirmed to get one in the eventual future.
 * You Gotta Have Purple Hair

Gumi /Megpoid


(Her formal product name is "Megpoid", but she is given an official character name of GUMI.)

The seventh Japanese Vocaloid and released by Internet Co., Ltd., Gumi had a design heavily based off Ranka Lee due to the fact that her voicer, Megumi Nakajima, was Ranka's seiyuu.

Notably, she is given a Fanon personality more grounded in normality, since while she is a Plucky Girl, she doesn't quite reach into Genki Girl.

In the vein of Crypton Vocaloids' Appends, she also gets a voicebank update to be released in Vocaloid3 engine, which was named "Megpoid Extend", but is now officially "Vocaloid3 Megpoid" a notable acknowledge to her product name.


 * Annoying Younger Sibling: Fanon portrayal; to Gakupo, whom she considers her "older brother".
 * Bare Your Midriff: A variation in her standard costume, her shirt is very transparent for her navel to be visible. Played straight in her Vocaloid3 costumes.
 * Be Yourself: The Aesop she learns in Ten Faced.
 * Bokukko: Just like the above Luka.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: In Fanon.
 * Did Not Get the Guy: An alarming number of her most popular songs have her romantic relationships just not working out. They usually end in a bittersweet way at best or tragically at worst.
 * Fan Nickname: "Rankaloid", due to the fact that Nakajima is more well-known for the Macross Frontier character.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: Well...unless they're like Gakupo's katana.
 * Taken to ridiculous levels in Sheep Sleep Sheep where she's shown to possess a big pile of them.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: She is voiced by Nakajima Megumi, the seiyuu of Ranka Lee.
 * Hotter and Sexier: See Underboobs below. And especially her whisper and adult versions.
 * Jack of All Trades: Her various new Vocaloid 3 voicebanks, which can be purchased as a bundle (except her "Native" voicebank, see below), give her quite a bit of versatility.
 * Lady in Red: She dons a red kimono in a portion of the PV of The Last Revolver.
 * Louis Cypher: In Mothy's works, her largest role is as The Master of the Hellish Yard.
 * Meganekko: sometimes in Fanon portrayal, it's more likely a representation of her goggles.
 * Non-Standard Character Design: Just as Gakupo's design was done by a famous mangaka, GUMI got this treatment as well—hers was done by Masami Yuuki, the creator of Birdy the Mighty.
 * Split Personality: because Love Hurts and makes you crazy in the song "Ten Faced"..
 * The Danza: Both names from Megumi Nakajima.
 * Tomboyish Sidetails
 * Took a Level in Badass: Our 16bit Warz
 * Also, "Mozaik Role".
 * Heck, her cameo in Judgement of Corruption tops all of these;
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Carrots. Surely there's an Aesop hidden this fact somewhere...
 * This is because she wears orange clothes and has green hair...right?
 * Updated Rerelease: Her Vocaloid 3 "Native" voicebank, which is basically a Vocaloid 3 version of her original Vocaloid 2 voicebank (which is now out of print).
 * Underboobs: What her Vocaloid3 attires are most notable of. No, really.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: In her Vocaloid3 attires, with Thigh-High Boots. Grade B.

Lily
Lily is the eleventh Japanese Vocaloid and is distributed by Internet Co., Ltd. (Note that she was not actually done by Internet; she was made by Avex Co.) Lily's design was actually utilized pre-Vocaloidification as an anime image for Matsuda Yuri, vocalist of band m.o.v.e., who provided her voice bank. Coincidentally, said design happened to be by KEI, designer of the Crypton Character Vocal Series Vocaloids.

Fanon portrays her as a punk girl with an "outgoing" personality.

She was advertised with an animated movie, "Schwarzgazer", depicting her and her companion "Mosh" as secretly fighting a mysterious dark "virus" force that they must combat with their music. Failure to produce music results in weakness, which almost deletes Lily and Mosh before a nearby music producer, Yakuto, saves them by supplying them with music. So does that make Lily a sort of undercover superhero?


 * Animal Motif: Bees.
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Biker Babe: In "Schwarzgazer". Notable because she's the one who ride the bike, not her overly-muscular, broad-shouldered partner Mosh.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Her voice bank is sampled from that of Masuda Yuri, vocalist of the band m.o.v.e.
 * Impossibly Cool Clothes
 * Meaningful Name: Lily is the English translation of "Yuri".
 * Stripperiffic
 * Tattooed Crook: To emphasis her 'punk girl' imagery, she has some on her left wrist and her lower back that extends to both side of her waist. Fan artists tend to miss this one feature of hers because her clothes (if you can call those clothes) are often cover them.
 * Tsundere / Jerk with a Heart of Gold: General consensus is that Lily is a kind of person who can be cold and openly bad-mouthing someone's attributes but also compassionate and sensitive of other's plight, especially if it's involving the Internet Co.'s Vocaloids.
 * Updated Rerelease: Confirmed to get one in the eventual future.
 * Yandere: One of her first major hits, "Chloe", is a yandere song. Here comes yet another one, folks.
 * "Marie-Luise", which was made by sele-P like "Chloe" also is an example, albeit with Incompatible Orientation & Unlucky Childhood Friend involved.

Ryuto/Gachapoid


(His formal product name is "Gachapoid", but he is given an official character name of Ryuto.)

Based off the Japanese franchise character Gachapin, Gachapoid is distributed by Internet Co. Ltd. as the thirteenth Japanese Vocaloid. He is designed to appeal to young producers.


 * Moe Anthropomorphism: He gets his own "human version".
 * Ridiculously Cute Critter

CUL
Another upcoming Vocaloid from Vocaloid 3 engine, she was an avatar of VY1 (see its section above). As the Mascot of VOCALO Revolution, she was designed to help promote the growing Vocaloid culture, aiming to rise awareness and the acceptance of this culture. That's before Internet Co. Ltd, on June 8, 2011, adopted her design to become a new Vocaloid.

She was released in 21 December 2011, along with Oliver and Yukari. She's voiced by Eri Kitamura.


 * Hotter and Sexier: The only explanation for why she feels to wear a garterbelt over some very short shorts to hold up her stockings in her redesign. Her low-cut, cropped halter top also adds to this. For some reason she also has a Badass Longcoat though.
 * Lady in Red: Before her redesign.
 * Spear Counterpart: REV, another VOCALO Revolution mascot which was an avatar for VY2 (see its section above).
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: Her redesign.
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Galaco
Galaco is a limited voicebank offered exclusively in the Vocaloid Shop competition. She was first introduced in the PV of galaxias! of the band of the same name, and voiced by Kou Shibasaki. So far, a demo has been released.


 * Cool Crown
 * Early-Bird Cameo: In a similar way to Tone Rion below, she first made appearances in merchandises in Vocaloid Store, but censored.
 * Multicolored Hair: Along with the blond and brunette long hair, she has multicolored bangs as well.
 * Star-Spangled Spandex: Her skirt and tanktop has a galaxy-like motif.

Hibiki Lui / Ring Suzune
01R Ring Suzune and 01L Lui Hibiki were announced the ending of May 2011. They are the result of a contest called "Everyone's Vocaloid project", which was sponsored by Yamaha. The contest called for fans to create an original Vocaloid characters for the upcoming Vocaloid3 engine (as it was later revealed).

Upon presenting the winning characters, they went through an unexpected makeover. Upon seeing how drastically different the official designs were to the original artist renders, the fandom reaction was a mix of disappointment and occasional approvals.

The original names of the characters were Suzunone Ringu and Lui.

They're now managed by Vocanext.


 * Ambiguous Gender: Lui, combine that with visibly curly lashes and high cut shorts. In addition to the profile description "Easily mistaken for a girl because of his graceful manners...", and you're all set.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Officially both and quite modestly too.
 * Bishounen: Lui's original appearance was actually pretty boy with a touch of youthful masculinity... despite the plucky bow.
 * Detached Sleeves: Ring sports these.
 * Eyes of Gold: Lui's eyes seem to hover between golden and orange.
 * Hair Decorations: Lui, a boy, wears them.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Ring's voice provider MiKA, debuting as DaisyxDaisy.
 * Meaningful Name: Take into account that Ring's original design had a theme that consisted of rings, in particular the ones that use to hover around her ankles. When it comes to translating her original last name, "Bell Sound, Ring".
 * Similar to the Kagamines, Ring and Lui's official title names stand for "Right and Left".
 * Nice Shoes: Lui's official design, transparent boots with a silver heel.
 * Rapunzel Hair: Ring (as well as her original design) is usually depicted with hair to her ankles.
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: Lui wears short shorts!
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Ring's new hair color officially. As Suzunone Ringu she was the White-Haired Pretty Girl.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Ring, in both incarnations.
 * As Suzunone it was her boots that gave this effect.

Mew


A Vocaloid made by Yamaha, she is so far one of the 2 starter vocals offered for the Vocaloid 3 software, other than VY1 above. Her voice provider is Miu Sakamoto. The cat depicted in her artwork is based off of Miu's own cat, Sabami.

Her full design is here; the design is made by a Japanese artist "Otaniryuji".


 * Animal Motifs: Cat, or felines in general. Her shoe even has a bell collar on it.
 * Cool Shades
 * Name's the Same: Not to be confused with a certain catlike legendary Pokémon.
 * Non-Standard Character Design: She's drawn in a more realistic style than the previous Japanese Vocaloids.
 * Pretty in Mink: Not only a scarf that suspiciously made from a feline, she also wears a leopard-patterned skirt.
 * Punny Name: "Mew" has the same pronunciation as "Miu".
 * Raven Hair, Ivory Skin
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Quite a common fanon portrayal.
 * Tattooed Crook
 * Woman in Black

V Flower


A description of the character is needed here. A list of tropes is not a character description.


 * Ambiguous Gender: Apparently “designed to be androgynous”. Her V3 is Elegant Gothic Lolita, her V4 is very masculine.


 * Bifauxnen: Looks quite masculine in her V4.
 * Kuudere: According to her official bio.
 * Gayngst: One of the many reasons for her suicide in Abnormality Dancing Girl is that she’s in love with the Alpha Bitch.
 * I Just Want to Be Special: Abnormality Dancing Girl portrays this as one of the reasons for her suicide.
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita: Her V3.
 * The Ophelia: In Appetite of a People Pleaser and especially in Abnormality Dancing Girl.

The Japanese Vocaloids (Individual)
'''Note: All Japanese names are in Japanese order (surname-given name), as this is their formal product name arrangement. For consistency, the names of the providers of the voice banks are in the same format.'''

Mayu


The first Vocaloid devloped by Exit Tunes, Mayu is a Yandere influenced Vocaloid. Not much else is known about her at this time.


 * An Axe to Grind
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Girls Love Stuffed Animals: The rabbit's name is Usano Mimi.
 * Multicolored Hair
 * Yandere

Utatane Piko
Released by Ki/oon, a subsidary of Sony (yes, that Sony), as the fifteenth Japanese Vocaloid and the first one by Sony. The voicebank was recorded by the Nico Nico Douga singer Piko, hence the name - this makes Piko somewhat of a Promoted Fanboy. The design is based on an electric guitar (complete with a power cord).

The voice data is male but has a feminine voice; however, gender factors can easily set to make it more masculine.


 * Ambiguous Gender: Piko's voice can be either masculine or feminine.
 * Covert Pervert: A popular fanon portrayal.
 * Bishounen
 * The Danza: His voice provider is NND singer Piko, where his name derives from.
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Idiot Hair / Ahoge: Styled after a music note.
 * Or the letter P.
 * He often gets paired up with Miki because of this.
 * Meaningful Name: "Utatane" means "sound of singer". His voice actor is Piko, an actual singer.
 * Mismatched Eyes: Green and blue. Some fanarts tend to not notice this.
 * Ridiculously-Human Robots: Downplayed - he looks more robotic than most other designs, looking from his unusual headphones, his eyes, and especially his USB tail.
 * Trickster Archetype: In fanon, when he's not a...
 * Shrinking Violet / Naive Newcomer: In fanon.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy

Akikoroid-chan
Yet another new Vocaloid, she is the mascot of Lawson, Inc. Unlike other vocaloids, she is not intended for public sale, and is only used for private commercial purposes by Lawson.


 * Mascot
 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * Adaptation Dye Job: She originally has brown hair as Akiko-chan.
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Tone Rion
A Vocaloid for the third engine. Her brief backstory states that she is 16 years old and was born in 2095, she is good at singing and dancing. Rion preforms on the "Dear Stage" (ディアステージ) located in future Akihabara set 100 years from the current. She has her own website and had eight demo songs (example here) before her release on 16 December 2011. She's designed by a famous character designer Akio Watanabe.


 * Blush Sticker: Can't miss em'.
 * Cute Little Fangs: Practically a signature of Akio Watanabe characters.
 * Early-Bird Cameo: Her existence had been hinted in the Vonama NicoVideo before she's officially revealed to the public.
 * Fingerless Gloves: Rule of Cute
 * Giant Waist Ribbon: It stands stiff, all mecha-like.
 * Hair Decorations: She has (what appears to be) a little sea angel barrette.
 * Kid From the Future
 * Meido: Stylized after one.
 * Nice Hat
 * Pointless Band-Aid: Again, a signature item of many Akio Watanabe characters.
 * Wingding Eyes: Purple heart-shaped reflections in her irises.
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Aoki Lapis
Another vocaloid using the Vocaloid 3 engine, released on April 6, 2012. Her style of music is known as "lifestyle", and that she will be targeted towards casual Vocaloid users. The project leaders, comprising of the Surfer's Paradise search engine, the anime studio Studio Deen, and Nico Nico Douga, sent out a call for NicoNico users to "audition" by submitting a song they believed would suit Lapis, with a chance to become her actual voice. The role of her seiyuu was eventually awarded to an Utatte-mita singer named Eguchi Nako.

She has at least two demos so far, which can be viewed here and here. Since her commercial release she's had an explosion of cover songs, most of them quite well made.


 * Evil Counterpart/Shadow Archetype: Her elder sister, Merli.
 * Fun Size: Word of God states that she's 15 centimeters tall.
 * Hair Decorations: She sports a HUGE gem on her head.
 * Hotblooded Sideburns
 * Identity Amnesia: She has no memory of who she is, according to Word of God.
 * Invisible to Normals: She's said to only be visible to a subset of human population.
 * Magical Girl: Her apparent concept, complete with Transformation Sequence.
 * Meaningful Name: Lapis comes from the jewel Lapis Lazuli. Also, "Aoki" means "blue princess". Guess what her primary color is.
 * Our Fairies Are Different: As noted in I-style's official site, she's one of the faeries, a special race who can convert songs into power.
 * Promoted Fangirl: The role of Lapis' seiyuu went the singer who submitted the best audition, Eguchi Nako.
 * Sailor Fuku
 * Short Hair with Tail: Or rather, two tails.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair
 * Zettai Ryouiki

IA
The first Vocaloid produced by 1st Place, IA is voiced by singer Lia. She is described on her official site as IA -ARIA ON THE PLANETES- and was released on January 27, 2012. Her demo song was a cover of Lia's Tori no Uta.


 * Cloudcuckoolander: Her basic personality is that of a dreamer, and she is often portrayed in fan art and PVs with a distant look on her face. Her songs also give this impression.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: Her legwear.
 * I Just Want to Have Friends: Wants to form friendships with everyone. Also used and Played for Drama in Imagination Forest, with a Cute Monster Girl closely resembling IA who isolates herself from the outside world because of her ability to make others be Taken for Granite.
 * Mad Dreamer: She is usually interpreted as a more serene version of this trope, but it still fits.
 * Naive Newcomer: Another fanon interpretation of her, given that she is a relatively new Vocaloid and is strong, honest, and optimistic.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Wide-Eyed Idealist: Also apart of her given personality is that she wants to get along and be friends with everyone.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl
 * Hair Color Dissonance: It seems to hover between shades of grey/pink/light cream.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: On her right leg only.

Sweet Ann


The fourth English Vocaloid, the first Vocaloid released by PowerFX, and the first Vocaloid released for the Vocaloid2 engine, Sweet Ann is voiced by an Australian singer under the stage name of "Jody".

Fanon portrays her as an elegant woman. She originally used to be made fun of for the stitches on her neck (PowerFX is fond of making "monster" Vocaloids) and the fact that the lighting on her boxart makes her look like she got a bad fake tan, but these memes have mostly fallen to the wayside these days in favour of more flattering depictions.


 * Blue Eyes: More obvious with her E-capsule design, while her original is more green with a blue tint.
 * Darkskinned Blonde: And often depicted with Princess Curls.
 * MamaBear: Canonically very protective of Oliver (well, if you consider Oliver's Twitter to be canon in the first place, at least).
 * Nice Hat: A snazzy white cowboy hat in her E-capsule design.
 * Older Than They Look: The Madness of Duke Venomania PV says she's 62. Canonically (at least in the Taiwan version), she's 23.
 * Phenotype Stereotype: Even in Taiwan, Sweet Ann can't escape being portrayed as a blond-haired blue eyed American cowgirl when her origins are actually Swedish.
 * Punny Name: Sweet Ann = Sweden.
 * Shout-Out: She's the bride to Big Al's monster.
 * Steampunk: E-capsule Sweet Ann might give off this impression to a few people.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Her design being based off 1930s actress and jazz singer Lena Horne helps, although it adds some Unfortunate Implications given that Horne was black.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Chicken drumstick.

Big Al
Since Big-Al was announced years before his actual release due to complications with recording the voice bank, for a while he was the Duke Nukem Forever of the Vocaloid community. However, he was eventually released with a voice bank provided by PowerFX staff Frank Sanderson and a more Animesque design (his original artwork, done in the style of Sweet Ann's, was often regarded as Nightmare Fuel) as the seventh English Vocaloid.

Fanon portrays him as a goofy Adult Child.


 * Adult Child: Let's see. Two of his songs focus on childhood, one of them is an acid trip that could be easily shrugged off as a chid playing pretend, and several are about things that he has a childlike obsession towards. It seems people like this.
 * Perhaps it's for this reason Big Al was "drafted" into covering Rebecca Black's Friday.
 * Anime Hair: Particularly his third boxart design (E-capsule), which is of the Spiky Hair variety.
 * Badass Longcoat: In his Taiwanese designs.
 * Everything's Better with Penguins: A minor meme at most, but he seems to have a good relationship with antarctic animals.
 * Megane: E-capsule Big Al sports a pair of white glasses.
 * Rated "M" for Manly: His original voice is ridiculously deep and rumbly. The fandom had been aching for a deep-voiced male vocaloid for ages, so they latched this trope onto him and never let it go.
 * His final voice isn't quite as deep, but is still much deeper than the other male vocaloids.
 * Hell, just listen to THIS! Manly to the MAX!
 * Sinister Scythe: E-capsule Big Al has one.

Oliver
Announced on October 15, 2011. Oliver is the name of the PowerFX's new Vocaloid3, made in collaboration with the new American Vocaloid company VocaTone, which notably consists of passionate Vocaloid fans.

Early fan supporters couldn't be deterred from making art based on him, even before any details of his design were revealed. VocaTone did release a silhouette of him ahead of time, which helped considerably.

On November 12, 2011, three demos and his official artwork were released. Additional demos continued to appear until Oliver made his actual debut on December 21, 2011.


 * A Boy And His Bird: To the point where several fans think of James as his character item.
 * Bandage Boy: He has bandages covering his feet and left eye, which the artist noted that it was to substitute the stitches in previous PowerFX characters.
 * Cherubic Choir: He can be used to make one, but since he was programmed as a solo voice, it'll take a lot of extra time and effort.
 * Child Soldier: His official design gives off vibes of this. And he has bandages on his legs and left eye... Nah, just kidding. It's actually based off of the Vienna Boy's Choir
 * Cool Pet: James the American goldfinch, made as a reference to Oliver's co-creators in the States.
 * Creepy Child: Plenty of songs gleefully exploit this trope's potential for all it's worth by using his soft, high-pitched voice as setup for loads of Lyrical Dissonance.
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Eyepatch of Power: He has a bandage over his left eye.
 * Eyes of Gold: Well, one of them, at least.
 * Foot Focus: After releasing a silhouetted version of Oliver, the artist stated that he looked too girly with shoes, so they were scrapped.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Nice Hat
 * Sure Why Not/Throw It In: Oliver's bird doesn't actually have an official name, but a number of fans decided to call him James and the name stuck - to the point where even VocaTone staff began using it.

Leon


The first Vocaloid (alongside Lola) - ever - and the first male English Vocaloid. He was released by Zero-G and runs under the original Vocaloid engine.

Fanon portrays him as a Butt Monkey.


 * Butt Monkey: Half of his tiny fandom tends to abuse him and his image to hell and back. Luckily the other half draws him as an extremely pretty blonde, even if he still falls under The Ditz.
 * Carpet of Virility - The Japanese fandom often depicts him as a very hairy man.
 * Demoted to Extra: See Irony.
 * Irony: He was one of the first ever Vocaloids, and yet he gets the least amount of recognition (and fanart). Supposedly, he's blonde...He could qualify for The Woobie status if he wanted to.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: When portrayed as his pretty image, he demonstrates traits of this.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: See Kaito.

Lola


Released at the same time and by the same company as Leon, Lola is the first female Vocaloid. She also runs under the initial Vocaloid engine.

She has the unfortunate distinction of having an extremely low voice, almost masculine. Fanon portrays her as a Genki Girl.


 * But Not Too Black: Some of her best songs feature a black woman, yet even more of them go for an identical-twin look with Leon's blond persona, and still others portray her as a pale woman with black hair. No one can decide which is 'canon'.
 * Hatedom: The Western average singing pitch is much deeper than the Japanese. Lola's voice, while still feminine, is deeper than Leon's. She can't extend out of her main techno skill without being assaulted by walls of negative comments.
 * Even for Westerners, her voice is low...Leon and Lola's Japanese cover of "magnet" has the potential to leave the listener in confusion over which one's supposed to be the female. Their English cover of magnet luckily avoids this.
 * She Cleans Up Nicely: Even if she does have a very deep voice, an astonishing number of gems show up if you look for them.

Miriam


The third English Vocaloid and the first to reveal the provider of the voice bank. She is distributed by Zero-G, is voiced by Miriam Stockley, and is the last English Vocaloid to be released under the first engine.

Fanon portrays her as The Stoic or as a Shrinking Violet.


 * The Danza
 * Shrinking Violet: Most fans depict her as very shy and quiet.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl: Her hair varies from silver to white to platinum blond in art depictions.

Prima


The first Vocaloid2-engine Vocaloid by Zero-G and the fifth English Vocaloid, Prima is built almost entirely for opera songs. Thus, she sings with deep vowels and rolls her consonants.

Fanon portrays her as a classy, rich woman, although software pirates tend to think of her as a Yandere since she sometimes kills illegal versions of the software.


 * Classically-Trained Extra: One interpretation, seeing as she was designed to sing opera and is usually used to sing...not Opera.
 * Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Based upon her photo boxart.
 * Fans also tend to take that image and personify Prima as such.
 * Idiot Hair: E-capsule Prima has a stray curl on the side of her head.
 * Meaningful Name - From "prima donna," the lady in an opera company who generally got the leading roles.
 * Shrinking Violet: E-capsule Prima shyly glances sideways, while her chibi form shows her standing pigeon-toed, tight lipped and blushing.
 * Tomboyish Sidetails: E-capsule Prima with long payot and what appears to be a Hime Cut.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Almost always depicted as such.
 * Either that or small and petite.
 * Unusual Ears: E-capsule Prima sports a pair of headphones with pointing speaker ears. No one is quite sure if they are Fox ears, Cat ears or Wolf ears. Though the most popular assumption is fox.
 * Vocal Dissonance: Much like the popular teenager design spawned from the Japanese fandom, E-capsule Prima was designed to appear as a young female (18 in fact). In the Western fandom such portrayals are criticized as some believe it doesn't fit her voice.
 * Yandere: She's portrayed as one by the Western fandom, mainly those who tried to pirate her and the software with a wrong cracking code, making it unusable; they interpreted it as Prima being yandere and taking everybody with her.

Sonika
The sixth English Vocaloid, Sonika is essentially Zero-G's attempt at imitating the Japanese Vocaloids by invoking Animesque. Thus, Sonika was advertised with height/age/weight measurements along with katakana on her arm, and was advertised as being able to "sing any language" (since she's not as restricted to phonetics as other voice banks), and is essentially Zero-G's mascot, even with a full-blown personality and Twitter profile. This... backfired. She was criticized for having terrible pronunciation and being a badly-attempted sleight at marketing. Eventually, people warmed up, but she'll Never Live It Down.

She has two boxarts, the first being a CGI render and the second being done by an artist on Deviant ART.

As such, in Fanon, she is portrayed as a weeaboo, with a cheerful personality.


 * Absolute Cleavage: E-capsule Sonika, surprisingly less subtle than her second design.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Can't get anymore obvious.
 * Hotter and Sexier: Compare her current boxart (pictured above) to her original.
 * Idiot Hair: After Sonika's original box art included a loose strand of hair, several artists tend to exaggerate this (though still to a realistic degree). This was eventually exaggerated in her second boxart.
 * Kaleidoscope Hair: Her green hair is able to change color according to her Twitter messages.
 * Master of None: Though her voice is average at best and often unintelligible, she's less restricted by phonetics and syllables than other Vocaloids, making it easier for her to sing in other languages.
 * Omniglot
 * She Cleans Up Nicely: She doesn't have to be The Unintelligible, so long as you know how to use her. So just carry on.
 * Trickster Archetype: Yeah, it's there.
 * The Unintelligible: Oh so much. Many of her fans find this appealing, though.
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: E-capsule Sonika
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: By default, her hair is green.

Tonio


Tonio was released by Zero-G as the eighth English Vocaloid; while his initial release was delayed and people thought it would go to Big-Al status, Tonio was eventually released after a few months. He is meant to be an opera singer as a partner to Prima.

Fanon portrays him like Prima: classy and rich.


 * Blue Eyes: E-capsule Tonio, while his standard eye color is considered hazel or brown.

 * Horned Humanoid: E-capsule Tonio's artwork
 * Perma-Stubble

 * Tuxedo and Martini: Even Sonika claims a martini to be his character item!

Her first official demo, 'RUN', was released 22 September 2011; and was brought her back to the forefront in "Never Let You Go".


 * Catgirl: No tail in evidence, but her costume includes a pair of cat-ear-shaped speakers mounted on her head, and her standard facial expression is a Cat Smile.

Ascended Fan Derivatives
Fanmade derivatives of existing Vocaloids, who have gained official recognition as memes from Crypton themselves; two of them, Neru and Haku, made cameos in the spinoff manga and games.

Yowane Haku
Haku is a depressed counterpart of Miku, created by those who cannot use Miku properly. She is usually off-key when she sings (although sometimes she produces nice songs), and envies Miku's voice, to the point where she drinks. A lot.


 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Drowning My Sorrows: Because she thinks she'll never be as good as Miku.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Neru, in fanon.
 * Hidden Depths: Despite her concept as not being as good a singer as Miku, she's often portrayed as being good at other things, such as playing musical instruments (especially the piano, and also the guitar).
 * Jiggle Physics: Her model in Miku Miku Dance is the first officially released one that does this.
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Meaningful Name: Her name means "weak willed words".
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted for the "Take Warning" part.
 * Tareme Eyes
 * Those Two Guys: In fanon she and Neru are portrayed as this.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: With Neru in Dark Woods Circus, in which she's the "tomboy" (she's seen wearing a blue suit and top hat). In fanon, however, it's usually the other way around.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Sake, just like Meiko up there.
 * The Voiceless: In Project DIVA, being a fan-created Vocaloid, Haku had no voice. Averted in Project DIVA 2nd, where (like everyone else), she has her own celebration dialogue when completing a song.
 * Haku's voice in Project DIVA 2nd seems to be a deeper, more reserved-sounding Miku.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl

Akita Neru
Neru is another counterpart of Miku, made by people who make Miku's pitch too high. It is said she represents those who are too lazy and impatient to use Vocaloid correctly and give up half way through, which is indicated by Neru's Tsundere nature. Her origin can also be explained as a personification of Trolling.

Her voice is usually an edit of Miku's, but can also come from Rin's, depending on the editor.


 * Cell Phone: Neru is often shown holding or texting on a cell phone, usually yellow.
 * Companion Cube: Her cell phone.
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Hair of Gold
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Haku, in fanon.
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Meaningful Name: Her name itself is a reference to trolling; "akita, neru" equates to "(Fuck this,) I'm tired, I'm going to bed."
 * While it's likely accidental, Neru also shares her last name with the Akita Inu, a dog breed with a reputation of being loyal towards humans, yet aggressive toward other animals.
 * Skirt Over Slacks: She wears shorts under her skirt.
 * The Voiceless: Like Haku, had no voice in Project DIVA (Due to being an unofficial cameo). Also like Haku, averted in Project DIVA 2nd in the same fashion. All of her celebratory quotes sound displeased, no matter how well the player performs.
 * Neru's dialogue in Project DIVA 2nd seems to be a deeper, more womanly-sounding Rin.
 * Those Two Guys: With Haku, in Fanon.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: With Haku in Dark Woods Circus, in which she's the "girly girl" (she's seen wearing a long green dress). In fanon, however, it's usually the other way around.
 * Troll: Created out of a trolling incident, as can be read on that trope's page.
 * Tsundere
 * Tsurime Eyes: To contrast with Haku.

Hachune Miku
A chibified version of Miku, created especially for her Leekspin video and helping to push her (and arguably, Vocaloids as a whole) into the mainstream.


 * Ascended Meme - As in literally ascended. 3 figurines of her were launched in a rocket from Black Rock, Nevada.
 * Blank White Eyes
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Perpetual Frowner: She spends most if not all of her time with a shocked, sleepy, or angry expression.
 * Super-Deformed
 * When She Smiles: In the opening for Project Diva 2nd, she actually smiles for once.
 * Zettai Ryouiki

TakoLuka
Meaning "Octopus Luka", this is Luka's disembodied head with her hair turned into pink tentacles. She somewhat resembles the yukkuris associated with Touhou, but shouldn't be confused with them.


 * Body Horror: One piece of fanart suggests that TakoLuka's eyes are actually anuses. Eww!
 * Head Pet: Her Nendoroid figurine is designed to rest on top of a Luka nendo.
 * Her Nenderoid plushie is also able to sit on the Luka plushie's head. And it's adorable.
 * Interspecies Romance: She's sometimes paired up with a tuna named Ooma-san, such as in Tako Luka * Tuna Fever.
 * Naughty Tentacles: Oh, you knew it had to happen!
 * Waddling Head

Sakine Meiko
A teenage counterpart of Meiko made when the popularity of Hatsune Miku left Meiko behind.


 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Genki Girl: in Fanon.
 * Lady in Red
 * Lighter and Softer: Sakine Meiko is much cuter, lighter, and softer than MEIKO.
 * Magic Skirt: That skirt is just begging for a Panty Shot.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Though more subdued than MEIKO.
 * Prequel: "Sakine" means "preceding sound", as in preceding Miku. Also, her official setting is "the Meiko who came into music trend in the age of 16".

Calne Ca
A rather disturbing original character created by Deino starring in his PV Machine Muzik. She is sometimes also called Karune Ca. Calne Ca's body is humanoid, but her face has a clearly cybernetic red eye and finger-like appendages in place of a lower jaw, her right arm is mechanical and clawed, her left arm is skeletal, and her legs are also mechanical and oddly twisted. She runs on batteries and requires a robotic companion to occasionally replace them (humorously and disturbingly at once, her batteries are located under her skirt). Calne Ca is usually seen wearing an outfit resembling Miku Hatsune's.

She is closely associated with insects and other crawling critters, such as wharf roaches and cockroaches. The world of Calne Ca is full of grotesque and deathly imagery.

Deino has also created another similar character named Calcium, who apparently shares the same "endoskeleton" as Calne Ca. Calcium appears in a PV for DJ Technorch's Ataraxia and appears similar in appearance to Calne, but with red eyes and more normal-looking robotic limbs as opposed to Calne's wierd appendages.

The two also star in Bacterial Contamination with an all new look!


 * Big Creepy-Crawlies: in the Bacterial Contamination PV, the nightmarish Vocaloids trade their mechanical appendages for organic spiny insectile limbs.
 * Dem Bones: the base form of Calne Ca is a mechanized skeleton. The stuff that makes her look even remotely human is additions.
 * Associated with her is a skull with a cybernetic eye walking on 4 mechanical legs.
 * Killer Robot: even though Deino has insisted that "she is not a brutal character", she definitely has that vibe going.
 * Losing Your Head: has been seen at least once with her head detached and walking on the floor on its finger-appendages.
 * Natural Weapon: Insect Calne Ca's hand-blades that mirror the blades of her robot form.
 * Our Clones Are Identical: those weird faceless mannequins, be they clones or androids.
 * The Worm That Walks: not quite, but she is occasionally seen pretty much swarming with creepy crawlies.

Fan-made Vocaloids, excluding genderbends
See here for a larger, more inclusive list.

Akaito

 * Bishonen: Most fans think so.
 * Oranyan
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: With Kaito. Though the roles are inverted.

Kiaito

 * Dojikko : His biggest thing is how clumsy he is. For this reason, his item is a first-aid kit.
 * Ill Guy: See above.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy

Nigaito

 * Ill Guy: A more harmless variant. He's described as getting sick often, so he wears his scarf over his mouth.
 * Sleepyhead: If the fanart is to be believed, he's definitely this.

Taito

 * Bandage Dude
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Yandere

Miku Zatsune

 * Evil Counterpart: Intended to be this to Miku.
 * Darker and Edgier
 * Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
 * Red and Black and Evil All Over
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: She's described as Miku's 'dark side'.

Aku Yamine

 * Elegant Gothic Lolita
 * Stripperific
 * Token Loli: Out of all the fanmades.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl

Kiku Juon

 * Knife Nut: She is often seen wielding two large cleavers.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Unholy Matrimony: She's considered Taito's lover in some cases.
 * Yandere

Dell Honne

 * Megane: His recent redesign comes with a set of glasses.
 * Oranyan: In fanfictions, he's usually rather nice to Haku, but a total Jerkass to everyone else, especially the Vocaloids.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted...or not, depending on his mood.
 * Smoking Is Cool: Fanart sometimes makes his smoking this way, but the original conception of this character is meant to be like Yowane Haku. In other words, his voice doesn't sound as good because he smokes, which could be considered an aversion.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Workaholic: Fanon depicts him as an insomniac workaholic, to pay off Haku's drinking debts and support them.

FL-Chan

 * Mascot
 * The Voiceless
 * Not anymore.
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair

Iku Acme

 * Does This Remind You of Anything?: Listen to one—no, any—of her songs. Except for "Chaosmaid".
 * The Immodest Orgasm: Her voice was designed to sound ridiculously suggestive; as a result, it's hard to create a song for her that doesn't resemble Donna Summer's background "vocals" in "Love To Love You Baby".
 * Intercourse With You: Pretty much all of her songs.
 * Meaningful Name: "Akume" is a Japanese slang term for orgasm, and if you've watched any Hentai at all you know full well what "Iku" means.
 * Meido
 * Ms. Fanservice: She's pretty much designed to be this.
 * Obligatory Bondage Song: Again, pretty much all of her songs.


 * McHatsune, a McDonalds-style Palette Swap of Miku, is used on Youtube a lot.
 * In this MikuMikuDance movie, Neru Akita and Haku Yowane did the fusion dance to become a rather popular character named Haru Akine.
 * Shiteyan'yo and Larval Rin, "creature" versions of Miku and Rin (similar to Takoluka but purportedly scarier). However, some producers show them to be quite sympathetic.
