Vocaloid/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

'''Please note that Vocaloids have no official personality and vary in every song.'''

'''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 eighth Japanese Vocaloid and the first<ref>Note that she was released at the same time as Yuki and Kiyoteru; however, she was announced first</ref> Vocaloid released by AH-Software (along with the first in their "Vocal Artist" series), Miki was also the first Vocaloid to have a demo CD included with her release (which made many fans think her announcement might be a [[Troll]]). She is voiced by Furukawa Miki of Supercar.

[[Fanon]] portrays her as rather alien, both in personality and in species (since her android markings are very distinctive in contrast to those of the [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]] seen in the others).

* [[Action Girl]]: At least according to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLLkasMHmV4 Lience] and the appropriately titled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix6N3-AANy0 Keep Yourself Alive] and in this new piece [http://youtu.be/wtk2tyjipOw Infinity Labyrinth] made by [[Kurozumi P]].

* [[Ahoge]]: And a HUGE one.

* [[Tsundere]]: Some fans are beginning to see her as this, lately, and appears to be more of a Type B [http://youtu.be/Z7yxSc_Zokg complete with a song].<ref>Also has a Fic based off of the song, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7293660/1/T_R_I_A_N_G_L_E_L_O_V_E here]</ref>

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: In these PVs: Liar [http://youtu.be/vcj0KoSURYw\] and Infinity Labyrinth [http://youtu.be/wtk2tyjipOw\].

Yuki is notable for being the first "child voice" (she's an elementary student) Vocaloid released. She is distributed by AH-Software and is the ninth (or tenth) Japanese Vocaloid.

[[Fanon]] portrays her as either an innocent and naïve child, or...[[Age-Inappropriate Art|quite adventurous and bold]].

* [[Age-Inappropriate Art]]: In this cover of ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77pjbaoPxOI Magnet]'' by her and Kiyoteru. Try not to get freaked out by the look on Yuki's face.

* [[Cheerful Child]]: In [[Fanon]].

* [[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".

=== Hiyama Kiyoteru ===

Released by AH-Software (but not as a part of the "Vocal Artist" series) and the ninth (or tenth) Japanese Vocaloid, Kiyoteru is explicitly stated to be a math teacher.

Thanks to an official artbook released by AH Software (details in the Ice Mountain link), he has more [[Word of God|official canon info]] than the other vocaloids.

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

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

* [[Stoic Spectacles]]

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Iced Coffee, or at least what part of the [[Fandom]] is trying to nominate (there is an ongoing "Item War" between this and a black folder which Kiyoteru is seen holding in his boxart).

Released by AH-Software (not in the Vocal Artist series) and the fourteenth Japanese one, 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 fandom 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.

* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Hotly contested (as some believe it doesn't fit her design while others believe it's just tomboyish).

AH Software's first Vocaloid 3, Yukari was made in a collaboration with multiple Vocaloid song producers. Released on December 22, she has a smooth sounding deep voice. She was also released with the Voiceroid software, where users could have her speak normally.

* [[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.]]

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

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

Codenamed "Mizki" (as a reference to ''hanamizuki'', a type of flower), VY1's announcement and demo files were made in the most mysterious way possible. Eventually it was revealed that it was developed by bplats and was eventually distributed by Yamaha themselves as the twelfth Japanese Vocaloid.

Despite being [[The Faceless]], VY1 still crops up in [[Fanon]]. [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Interpretations vary wildly]], but the majority are some variation on a teenage girl in a floral kimono. [http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=18366667 The winning design for the 2011 VocaFes contest] follows that.

* [[Detached Sleeves]]: In her winning design above.

* [[The Faceless]]

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

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

Like VY1, it was developed by bplats and was eventually distributed by Yamaha. It is the 16th Japanese Vocaloid. It is also given a codename of "Yuma."

Despite being [[The Faceless]], VY2 also crops up in [[Fanon]]. [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Interpretations vary wildly]], but the majority are of a young man in traditional Japanese attire, usually as a warrior of any kind. Although, [http://images.wikia.com/vocaloid/images/c/c6/OriginalVY2design.jpg the winning design for VY2 in 2011 VocaFes contest] strives far away from said description.

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

* [[The Faceless]]

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Yuma/Yuuma.

* [[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"]].

* [[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.

* [[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.

[[File:len rin 7588.jpg|frame|Left, Rin; right, Len.]]

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.

* [[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]]

* [[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.

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.

* [[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]]

* [[:Category:Yandere|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.

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.

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.

* [[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).

They're now managed by [http://vocanext.jp 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.

* [[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.

Her full design is [http://otaniryuji.com/_src/sc384/mew2012zenshin3030.jpg 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]]

* [[Woman in Black]]

'''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]]

* [[Multicolored Hair]]

* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]

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.

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

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

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<ref>Utattemita is a category on NND used by people performing covers of various songs</ref> named [http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15956765 Eguchi Nako].

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.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]/[[Shadow Archetype]]: Her [http://i-style.surpara.com/2nd_project/ elder sister], Merli.

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

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

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 [http://soundcloud.com/1stplace/ver-ia 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.

** [[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 ==

The fourth English Vocaloid, the first Vocaloid released by PowerFX, and the first Vocaloid released for the Vocaloid2 engine,<ref>although not in Japan, where Miku was first</ref> Sweet Ann is voiced by an Australian singer under the stage name of "Jody".

[[Fanon]] portrays her as an elegant woman. She is often 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.

* [[Blue Eyes]]: More obvious with her E-capsule design, while her original is more of a green with a blue tint.

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

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Her design being based off 1930s actress and jazz singer [http://www.lena-horne.com/ Lena Horne] helps.

* [[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.

* [[A Boy and His X|A Boy And His Bird]]: He's often depicted this way the the bird featured on the boxart.

* [[Bandage Babe|Bandage Boy]]: He has bandages covering his feet and left eye. The artist noted that it's to substitute the stitches in the previous PowerFX characters.

* [[Nice Hat]]

* [[Sure Why Not]]/[[Throw It In]]: Oliver's bird has no official name, but a number of fans decided to call him James, and the name stuck—to the extent that even the VocaTone staff have begun using it.

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 [http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/File:Illu_Vocaloid_Leon_FanonLeon.jpg an extremely pretty blonde], 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].

* [[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.

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

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[:Category:Yandere|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.

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"] .

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

* [[Hair of Gold]]

== 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 ===

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]]ing.

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]].

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

* [[Prequel]]: "Sakine" [[Meaningful Name|means]] "preceding sound", as in preceding Miku.<ref>and technically also Kaito</ref> 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 [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.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[Workaholic]]: Fanon depicts him as an insomniac workaholic, to pay off Haku's drinking debts and support them.
