'''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.

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: Received a V4 update, together with Natural and Soft voicebanks.

'''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.

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).

'''VY1''' (Codenamed "MIZKI", as a reference to the [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ハナミズキ 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: [https://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Kobushi_Kiku 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.

* [[The Faceless]]

'''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 [https://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/66_(Roro) 66 (Roro)].
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Cool Sword]]: The wakizashi on its boxart.
* [[The Faceless]]

** The ones that don't usually have a sort of muted red/brown for her eyes.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters|She Who Fights Monsters]]/PayEvilUntoEvil: In ''Daughter of Vengeance,'' she leads the rebellion against [[God Save Us From the Queen|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.
Line 174 ⟶ 275:
* [[Tsundere]]: In [[Fanon]].
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: Confirmed to get one in the eventual future.

==== Kaito ====
[[File:
The second Japanese Vocaloid, also released for the initial engine. He is distributed by Crypton Future Media and voiced by Fuuga Naoto.

The second<ref>That's right, the second. Sweet Ann was first. However, Miku was the first in Japan.</ref> 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.
Line 212 ⟶ 313:
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.

Vocaloid concerts also tend to be about 3/4ths Miku and 1/4th everyone else.

==== Kagamine Rin / Kagamine Len
[[File:
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 [[Broken Base|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
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 [[Flip
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[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 [[Fan Vid|FanVids]], his true love is {{spoiler|the equally manipulative Rin}}.

* [[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 [[The Ditz|not so smart]] Miku, Gumi and Kaito, Tsundere Rin, Meiko, and Luka, and naked-happy Gakupo (and Kaito).
Line 291 ⟶ 391:
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Len gets unusually sexual in "SPICE!". "Mase Lenka" takes his sexuality [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Rin in [[Fanon]].

[[File:
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.
Line 432 ⟶ 537:
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?

On November 12, 2011, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0arO6enDylQ&feature=channel_video_title three] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZXBZFADRRc&feature=channel_video_title dem][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aGomQhxzEs os] and his official artwork were released. Additional demos continued to appear until Oliver made his actual debut on December 21, 2011.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[A Boy and His X|A Boy And His Bird]]:
* [[Bandage Babe|Bandage Boy]]: He has bandages covering his feet and left eye
* [[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 [[Fridge Horror|bandages on his legs and left eye]]... Nah, just kidding. It's actually based off of the [[wikipedia:Vienna Boys' Choir|Vienna Boys' 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]]:
* [[Foot Focus]]: After releasing a silhouetted version of Oliver, the artist stated that

* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Sure Why Not]]/[[Throw It In]]: Oliver's bird

=== Zero-G
==== Leon
[[File:
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.
Line 714 ⟶ 842:
[[Fanon]] portrays him as a [[Butt Monkey]].
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[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 [http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/File:Illu_Vocaloid_Leon_FanonLeon.jpg an extremely pretty blonde]{{Dead link}}, even if he still falls under [[The Ditz]].
* [[Carpet of Virility]] - The Japanese fandom often depicts him as [http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/File:Illu_Vocaloid_Leon_ManlyLeon.jpg a very hairy man]{{Dead link}}.
* [[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.
* [[
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: See Kaito.
----
==== Lola
[[File:
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.
Line 729 ⟶ 857:
She has the unfortunate distinction of having an extremely low voice, almost masculine. [[Fanon]] portrays her as a [[Genki Girl]].
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[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 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKDA8Rm1N0A if] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cgW4VOZ5CE you] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcLp6DmpGYM look] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3Li-6kQ5SY for] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qudxRt8hMcg them.]
----
==== Miriam ====
[[File:
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.
Line 742 ⟶ 870:
[[Fanon]] portrays her as [[The Stoic]] or as a [[Shrinking Violet]].
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[The Danza]]
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Most fans depict her as very shy and quiet.
* [[White
{{break}}
==== Prima
[[File:
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.
Line 754 ⟶ 883:
[[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.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Classically
* [[Eerie Pale
** 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.
Line 762 ⟶ 891:
* [[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
[[File:
The sixth English Vocaloid, Sonika is essentially Zero-G's attempt at [[Follow the Leader|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]].
Line 776 ⟶ 905:
As such, in [[Fanon]], she is portrayed as a weeaboo, with a cheerful personality.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[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 [http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ofclboxart_zrog_Sonika1.jpg 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.
Line 787 ⟶ 916:
* [[Trickster Archetype]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75p1k46L1l4 Yeah,] it's there.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qrOzEhRR2A Oh] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09vP1YYW5PQ so] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBnaaah136I 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 ====
[[File:
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.
Line 797 ⟶ 926:
[[Fanon]] portrays him like Prima: classy and rich.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Blue Eyes]]: E-capsule Tonio, while his standard eye color is considered hazel or brown.
* [[Classically
* [[Horned Humanoid]]: E-capsule Tonio's [http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/File:Illu_ecapsule_Vocaloid_Tonio.png artwork]
* [[Perma
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: Many fans like the stock image.
* [[Tuxedo and Martini]]: Even ''Sonika'' claims a martini to be his character item!

Her first official demo, [http://youtu.be/U4EqmD35udw 'RUN'], was released 22 September 2011; and was brought her back to the forefront in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ceDikUov34 "Never Let You Go"] .

* [[Meaningful Rename]]: Their original names to a degree, while their renames stand out more.

* [[Short
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Moke is said to not talk much, and is a quiet boy. He smiles at everyone, but can be frank. And he has a dislike of being alone, though he does have close friends who know he's an Otaku.
* [[Starfish Language]]: Tianyi knows nothing about human language, so she can only sing to express her feelings.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Qingxian, her official profile states that she is quite popular; cool, stable, and good-looking. She's so mysterious that some people fear her.

Line 899 ⟶ 1,028:
=== Yowane Haku ===
[[File:
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. [[Bottle Fairy|A lot]].

** Haku's voice in Project DIVA 2nd seems to be a deeper, more reserved-sounding Miku.
* [[White
----
=== Akita Neru ===
[[File:
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 [[Troll
Her voice is usually an edit of Miku's, but can also come from Rin's, depending on the editor.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Cell Phone]]: Neru is often shown holding or texting on a cell phone, usually yellow.
* [[Companion Cube]]: Her cell phone.
Line 934 ⟶ 1,063:
* [[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 [
* [[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. [[Tsundere|All of her celebratory quotes sound displeased, no matter how well the player performs]].

* [[Tsundere]]
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: To contrast with Haku.

=== Hachune Miku ===
[[File:
A chibified version of Miku, created especially for her [[Memetic Mutation|Leekspin]] video and helping to push her (and arguably, Vocaloids as a whole) into the mainstream.

[[Meaningful Name|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.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

=== Calne Ca ===
[[File:
A rather disturbing original character created by Deino starring in his PV [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRd7gOfIS-0 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.
Line 990 ⟶ 1,122:
Deino has also created another similar character named Calcium, who apparently shares the same "endoskeleton" as Calne Ca. Calcium appears in a PV for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flAGH_f7ZOQ 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.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Averted...[[Oranyan|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.

=== Iku Acme ===
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Listen to

*[[Intercourse With You]]: Pretty much all of her songs.
