* The voice synthesizing software [[Vocaloid]] and its characters. The only thing canon about the [[Vocaloid]] universe by [[Word of God]] is the character names, designs, and voice banks, but the [[Fanon]] is quite firmly rooted, to the point where one thing that was officially canon got retracted because of fan outcry. The software and the fandom it spawned has inspired countless songs, and those songs have inspired a stage play, a musical (inspired by only a ''single'' song, mind you), and [[~~Black Rock~~ Shooter|an anime]]. The flagship character, Miku Hatsune, is a bona fide [[Virtual Celebrity]], complete with an album reaching # 2 on Japanese charts. She also gave a live concert (as a hologram, backed by live human musicians), and her version of the software has also been installed in a Japanese gynoid.
