* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[Short Hair ~~With~~ Tail]]

* [[Short Hair with Tail]]

* [[Tomboy]]: Due to her deep voice, she is portrayed by this.

** 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).

Line 141:

* [[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.

* [[Chick Magnet]]: In ''Prince of Blue.''

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: There is a whole nicovideo tag called "Kaito no Honki" (Kaito's seriousness). It contains awesome. Loads and loads of awesome.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her new [[Word of God|official]] "American" [http://piapro.jp/static/?view=sf_japantown_result design].

Line 243:

* [[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.

* [[The Cameo]]: According to this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt95eP0oVZ4 trailer], she'll make an appearance in [[The Idolmaster (~~Video~~ ~~Game~~)|The iDOLM@STER 2]] for the [[PS 3]].

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Usually portrayed as the girly girl to Rin's tomboy.

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].

Line 290:

* [[Playing Against Type]]: Len gets unusually sexual in "SPICE!". "Mase Lenka" takes his sexuality [[Up to Eleven]].

* [[Plucky Girl]]: Rin in [[Fanon]].

* [[Pretty Fly for A White Guy]]: Len is depicted this way in quite a few videos.

* [[Pretty Fly for a White Guy]]: Len is depicted this way in quite a few videos.

* [[Sailor Fuku]]: Rin, however, gets shorts, while Len gets the male version with the tie.

* [[Separated At Birth]]: [[Played for Drama]] in many of their songs.

* [[Separated at Birth]]: [[Played for Drama]] in many of their songs.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Songs usually describe Rin as outgoing, [[Tsundere]], selfish, stubborn and/or [[Plucky Girl|plucky]]; Len is usually portrayed as intelligent, sensitive, cute, and/or serious. Their Appends stretched this further.

* [[She's Got Legs]]: Rin's shorts are ''minuscule''. Some fan artists elongate her shorts for dignity, as a result.

** Project Diva 2 has proven that ''Len'' doesn't have bad looking legs either...

* [[Stalker ~~With~~ a Crush]]: Len in ''Like, Dislike''.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Len in ''Like, Dislike''.

* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Len, especially in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-XUPPLT0-o Project Diva 2].

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_HdnRp5pTc&feature=related Here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ox8vSlmwUI&feature=related here] too. 'Legs that beg captivation' indeed...

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Luka is the first Vocaloid to support phonemes for more than one language (Japanese and English).

Line 337:

** She is depicted this way in the Vocaloid game, Project DIVA, along with in Hatsune Mix, the manga drawn by Luka's designer, KEI.

** According to KEI, she was specifically drawn asymmetrical to reflect the fact she is bilingual.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Her voice samples come from [[Yuu Asakawa|Asakawa Yuu]], most known for the voice of [[Azumanga Daioh ~~(Manga)~~|Sakaki]] and [[Love Hina|Motoko Aoyama]].

Line 441:

* [[Stripperiffic]]

* [[Tattooed Crook]]: To emphasis her 'punk girl' imagery, she has some on her left wrist and her lower back that extends to both side of her waist. Fan artists tend to miss this one feature of hers because her clothes (if you can call those [[Stripperiffic|clothes]]) are often cover them.

* [[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.

Line 665:

=== Big Al ===

[[File:big_al_6163.png|frame]]

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 (Video Game)|~~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]].

Line 671:

-----

* [[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 (Music)|~~Rebecca Black]]'s ''[[Friday (~~Music~~)|Friday]]''.

** 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]]''.

* [[Anime Hair]]: Particularly his third boxart design (E-capsule), which is of the [[Spiky Hair]] variety.

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: In his Taiwanese designs.

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Penguins]]: A minor meme at most, but he seems to have a good relationship with antarctic animals.

* [[Everything's Better with Penguins]]: A minor meme at most, but he seems to have a good relationship with antarctic animals.

* [[Megane]]: E-capsule Big Al sports a pair of white glasses.

* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: His original voice is ridiculously deep and rumbly. The fandom had been aching for a deep-voiced male vocaloid for ages, so they latched this trope onto him and never let it go.

Line 808:

=== SeeU ===

[[File:seeu_987.jpg|frame]]

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"] .

* [[Short Hair ~~With~~ Tail]]: Longya

* [[Short Hair with Tail]]: Longya

Line 963:

* [[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. [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c56yokXmUyU/TLl_klmdOdI/AAAAAAAAAXY/pSKwvrQWn38/s1600/o0500045010798788811.jpg And it's] [http://www.nekomagic.com/figure_news/201101/gift_taku_luka10.jpg adorable].

* [[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].

* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Oh, you ''knew'' [[Power Perversion Potential|it had to happen!]]

Line 989:

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.

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