'''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:}}
* [[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]]:

{{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.
Line 750 ⟶ 874:
* [[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.

Line 756 ⟶ 881:
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 [[

Line 770 ⟶ 895:
* [[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.

Line 966 ⟶ 1,094:
* [[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.
** Her Nenderoid [[Everything's Better with Plushies|plushie]] is also able to sit on the Luka plushie's head.

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: She's sometimes paired up with a tuna named Ooma-san,<ref>as in [[Japanese Honorifics|"Mr. Ooma"]], although it's a pun on "ooma san", meaning "produced in Ooma"</ref> such as in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R0i7BKi-p4 Tako Luka * Tuna Fever].

Line 1,063 ⟶ 1,193:
* [[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.
