Vocaloid/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

 

 

 

 

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: A popular fan depiction, goes with [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] below, though this interpretation is more honest in her... er... uneducated demeanor.

* [[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.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: She is voiced by Furukawa Miki, of the band Supercar.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: A lot of fans take her innocence/curiosity as a rouse to hide [http://RevolutionBoi.deviantart.com/art/H-Miku-VN02-Unleashed-1-5-157926824 pure awesome].

* [[Plucky Girl]]

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: [http://youtu.be/UuuD-Na_cuE Like you][http://youtu.be/Lr2RYobhhnU never expected.]

* [[The Danza]]: Her voice provider is named Miki Furukawa.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Cherries.

 

 

 

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: In ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q4ZR_Bye_4 Calalini]''.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Apples. In fact her [http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Yuki_Kaai description] says she is "as tall as 10 big apples" and "as heavy as 86 apples".

 

 

 

* [[Asexuality]]: Never had a relationship with a girl, according to the artbook.

** [http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/2561/icemountaingroup.jpg His bandmates in Ice Mountain] are catching up there too.

* [[Cool Teacher]]

** [[The Lancer]]: Akito Hiyama - Guitar (Kiyoteru's childhood friend)

** [[The Big Guy]]: Tohma Azuchi - Bass (the [[Delinquent]] of the band, tends to get into troubles)

** [[The Smart Guy]]: Haruto Amane - Keyboard (said to be innately genius)

** [[The Chick]]: Natsuki Hokaze - Drums (was once mistaken as a girl, now trying to grow up his manliness)

* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: His glasses - a gift from his foster father.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: He was raised by a foster father.

* [[Stoic Spectacles]]

 

 

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Cats.

* [[Arm Cannon]]: Her Dynamic-Phonon Busters, gigantic speakers that attach to her arms. Only spewing sounds, but cannons nonetheless.

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[Short Hair with Tail]]

** Some producers are able to subvert this stereotype either by raising her voice (with good tuning) like in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD8Vk-5AhJQ Banton Summer Sky], or by making her sing opera like this amazing rendition of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eRel19HM6E Ave Maria] (potentially giving the classic style Vocaloids like Prima and Miriam a run for their money).

 

----

* [[Animal-Eared Headband]]: More like Animal-eared Hoodie, but it's still there.

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Rabbits. Her hood has bunny ears on it. Plus, the "zuki" in her name means [[Moon Rabbit|moon.]]

* [[Hair Decorations]]

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

 

 

 

* [[The Faceless]]

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Again, in her winning design.

* [[The Tease]]: In ''[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11970243 Nante Midara na Shiikensaa da]''.

 

 

 

 

* [[Cool Sword]]: The wakizashi on its boxart.

* [[The Faceless]]

* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: Downplayed - [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pGq2_IfgY5U/Tf6igic-s4I/AAAAAAAAA8A/tW82M9S6ZKM/s1600/18386232_big_p2.jpg As seen in this concept art], he looks more like a cyborg.

* [[The Stoic]]: In [[Fanon]].

 

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.

 

[[Fanon]] portrays her as enjoying sake and often getting drunk. She likes beating up on Kaito.

 

* [[Ax Crazy]]: In ''Alice Human Sacrifice''

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* [[Tsundere]]: In [[Fanon]].

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: Confirmed to get one in the eventual future.

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

 

Kaito is depicted in [[Fanon]] as a silly, happy-go-lucky kind of guy who enjoys eating ice cream; he is constantly attacked by Meiko, the first female Japanese Vocaloid.

 

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Along with his [[Scarf of Asskicking]], in vids where he is badass.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: There's even a pool on Danbooru called [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"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.

* [[Team Dad]]: In [[Fanon]], if only by seniority.

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8boT8ZPwVI this parody] of Rin Kagamine's "Meltdown".

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: In the rare occasions that he's featured with Leon, the two have this dynamic going on.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].

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.

 

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.

* [[Badass]]: There are two videos that fit the description of showing her awesomeness... [[Panty Shot|among other things.]]

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXsrRLT2ijs This one] (also with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XOMKuU_Ie8 slow motion]), and

* [[Character Celebrity Endorsement]]: She recently starred in Toyota's latest [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E15PE7iGT0U 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.

* [[Arc Number|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.

* [[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.

* [[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 [[Bleach|Orihime]] and made it her own. Along with the leeks she also has a fondness for bacon wrapped hotdogs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIxI1eB2-vo&feature=relmfu 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.

** 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 [[Moral Event Horizon|mention]]. The [[Hell Is That Noise|meow]] doesn't help.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|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.

 

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.

 

 

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-Flop of God|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.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Talking to Himself|Rin and Len are both voiced]] by [[wikipedia:Asami Shimoda|Shimoda Asami]] Hence [[Cross-Dressing Voices]] can be applied to Len.

* [[Iconic Item]]: Aside from [[Trademark Favorite Food|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.

* [[The Ojou]]: Rin in the Story of Evil series.

** Heck, the song itself refers to her as "Ojou-sama".

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The Kagamine Rin/Len Append.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: They tend to be this in the darker songs. Usually, it's Rin (''Evil series'', ''Fear Garden'' and ''Thirteen Year Old Killer'') but Len has played this role in ''The Riddle Solver Who Couldn't Solve Riddles'', ''Spice!'' and ''Psychotic Love Song'' and ''both'' of them have played this in ''Trick and Treat.''

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RrCIdDD4cc&feature=PlayList&p=753E1DA495B0D33B&index=95: Len has done so on a] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv--HeduLNw: couple of occasions] (sometimes against his will). And he looked quite good doing it.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Rin in ''Karakuri Burst''.

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 [[Yuu Asakawa|Asakawa Yuu]].

 

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

 

* [[Actor Allusion]]: In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R0i7BKi-p4 Tako Luka Tuna Fever] there is a segment at about 1:37 in where a tuna has bitten her hand. [[Azumanga Daioh|Guess who else has animal troubles?]]

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

** A beta version sample can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lJlktbu9b8&feature=related here]

* [[Whip It Good]]: One of her character items is a whip.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY60xu-Bm00 Love Disease]. (Warning: The image is [[Nightmare Fuel]] for some).

 

 

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, [[Gackt|that Gackt.]]

[[Fanon]] portrays him as somewhat goofy.

 

* [[Author Avatar]]: A variation; Gakupo is said to be "an extension of Gackt's persona".

* [[Bishounen]]

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: Confirmed to get one in the eventual future.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

 

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

 

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.

* [[Louis Cypher]]: In [[Mothy]]'s works, her largest role is as [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|The Master of]] [[Satan|the Hellish Yard]].

* [[Meganekko]]: sometimes in [[Fanon]] portrayal, it's more likely a representation of her goggles.

* [[Tomboyish Sidetails]]

** Also, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S_7KGJfuvY "Mozaik Role".]

*** Heck, her cameo in ''Judgement of Corruption'' tops all of these; {{spoiler|She's pretty much '''''SATAN'''''!}}

* [[Underboobs]]: What her Vocaloid3 attires are most notable of. No, really.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: In her Vocaloid3 attires, with [[Thigh-High Boots]]. Grade B.

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.

 

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]]

* [[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.

** "Marie-Luise", which was made by sele-P like "Chloe" also is an example, albeit with [[Incompatible Orientation]] & [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] involved.

 

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]]

 

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.

 

 

* [[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.

* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: Her redesign.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

Galaco is a limited voicebank offered exclusively in the Vocaloid Shop competition. She was first introduced in the PV of ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWaDHSsgJjA galaxias!]'' of the band of the same name, and voiced by Kou Shibasaki. So far, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcYYZOHNF98 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 [http://shop.vocaloidstore.com/index.php?gOo=goods_search_list.dwt&gcat=571 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.

 

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).

 

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

 

 

* [[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.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Ring, in both incarnations.

** As Suzunone it was [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|her boots]] that gave this effect.

 

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 [[Meaningful Name|Miu Sakamoto]]. The cat depicted in her artwork is based off of Miu's own cat, Sabami.

 

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Cat, or felines in general. Her shoe even has a bell collar on it.

* [[Cool Shades]]

 

 

 

'''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.'''

 

 

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]]

* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]: The rabbit's name is Usano Mimi.

* [[Multicolored Hair]]

 

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 [[Incredibly Lame Pun|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.

** [[Shrinking Violet]] / [[Naive Newcomer]]: In fanon.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

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 [[Brainy Brunette|brown hair]] as [http://images.wikia.com/vocaloid/images/4/49/LAWSONMASCOT.png Akiko-chan].

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

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 [http://tonerion.jp/ her own website] and had eight demo songs ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFPh1rdhOOU 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.

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: [[Rule of Cute]]

* [[Giant Waist Ribbon]]: It stands stiff, all mecha-like.

* [[Wingding Eyes]]: Purple heart-shaped reflections in her irises.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

 

She has at least two demos so far, which can be viewed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4n8hbFr1xY here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdISxY6Q0Ew here]. Since her commercial release she's had an explosion of cover songs, most of them quite well made.

 

* [[Fun Size]]: [[Word of God]] states that she's 15 centimeters tall.

* [[Hair Decorations]]: She sports a HUGE gem on her head.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

* [[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.

* [[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]]

** [[Hair Color Dissonance]]: It seems to hover between shades of grey/pink/light cream.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: [[Fashionable Asymmetry|On her right leg only.]]

 

== The English Vocaloids ==

 

 

 

* [[Darkskinned Blonde]]: And often depicted with [[Princess Curls]].

* [[Older Than They Look]]: The ''Madness of Duke Venomania'' PV says she's 62. [[Subverted Trope|Canonically (at least in the Taiwan version), she's 23.]]

* [[Punny Name]]: Sweet Ann = Sweden.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: [[Unfortunate Implications|Chicken drumstick]].

 

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 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkCLFsP9KIc covering] [[Rebecca Black]]'s ''[[Friday (song)|Friday]]''.

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: E-capsule Big Al has one.

 

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.

 

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.

 

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: He has a bandage over his left eye.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Nice Hat]]

 

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]].

 

* [[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.

 

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 [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.]

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

* [[Classically-Trained Extra]]: One interpretation, seeing as she was designed to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8X3sARqX00 sing opera] and is usually used to sing...[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC9SWPu3hWc not Opera].

* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: Based upon her photo boxart.

* [[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.

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]].

 

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.

* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: E-capsule Sonika

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: By default, her hair is green.

 

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.

* [[Classically-Trained Extra]]: Like Prima, he is not used for opera. Some of his most famous songs are ''Lady Gaga covers''.

 

== Vocaloids in more languages ==

The first Korean Vocaloid, released by SBS Artech. Character design by manhwa artist Kkuem. Voiced by real-life Korean [[Idol Singer]] Kim (also known as [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Kim Tahi, Dahi, Dahee]]).

 

A leaked early demo can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-CZt_epQQA here], which was praised for its humanlike realism. It should be noted, though, that Kim Tahi also sings in the background for said demo. 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"] .

== Ascended Fan Derivatives ==

 

=== 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. [[Bottle Fairy|A lot]].

 

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* [[Detached Sleeves]]

** Haku's voice in Project DIVA 2nd seems to be a deeper, more reserved-sounding Miku.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]

=== Akita Neru ===

 

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.

* [[Tsundere]]

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

=== Hachune Miku ===

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.

 

* [[Ascended Meme]] - As in ''literally'' ascended. 3 figurines of her were launched in a rocket from [[Stealth Pun|Black Rock]], Nevada.

* [[Blank White Eyes]]

* [[When She Smiles]]: In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exAmqVtYbis the opening] for ''Project Diva 2nd'', she actually smiles for once.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

=== TakoLuka ===

[[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.

 

* [[Body Horror]]: One piece of fanart suggests that TakoLuka's eyes are actually ''anuses.'' [[Squick|Eww!]]

* [[Head Pet]]: Her Nendoroid figurine is designed to rest on top of a Luka nendo.

* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Oh, you ''knew'' [[Power Perversion Potential|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]].

* [[Magic Skirt]]: That skirt is just ''begging'' for a [[Panty Shot]].

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Though more subdued than MEIKO.

 

=== Calne Ca ===

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.

 

The two also star in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tktcOUi-x-A Bacterial Contamination] with an [[Big Creepy-Crawlies|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.

 

== Fan-made Vocaloids, excluding genderbends ==

 

=== Akaito ===

* [[Bandage Babe|Bandage Dude]]

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]

 

=== Miku Zatsune ===

* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]

* [[Stripperific]]

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]

 

=== Kiku Juon ===

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]

* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: She's considered Taito's lover in some cases.

 

=== Dell Honne ===

* [[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.

 

== Other ==

 

=== Iku Acme ===

* [[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".

* [[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.

----

* McHatsune, a McDonalds-style [[Palette Swap]] of Miku, is used on Youtube a lot.
