Hatsune Miku

Persona: A virtual idol and synthesized voicebank, known for her bright and energetic presence.

Body: Slender and youthful with a delicate frame.

Appearance: KEL was tasked with creating Miku's character, giving her a color scheme to work with and asking her to draw her as an android. Crypton also offered their concept, but they had a hard time explaining their vision of a Vocaloid. KEI said he couldn't draw a "singing computer" because he didn't even have an idea of ​​what a synthesizer looked like. The entire project took him about a month to complete.

Miku originally had a different hairstyle, but after trying out pigtails, KEI decided that they would suit her better. Since then, pigtails have become a major part of her appearance. On June 22, 2012, Hatsune Miku's twin tails won the "Twin Tail" award for the hairstyle that best represents the 2000s era, thus denoting her style as the best style since the beginning of the 21st century. The same award was once won by the famous character Sailor Moon (who won the "Twin Tail" award for the 90s period.)

Miku's digital skirt and boot designs are based on the synthesizer's program colors, and the stripes depict stripes taken from the program at Crypton's request. Part of her appearance is based on YAMAHA keyboard models, specifically the DX-100 and DX-7. The squares around her pigtails are futuristic ribbons made from a special material that floats in the air. As seen in KEI's artwork of Miku, they are able to hold Miku's pigtails without touching the hair itself. These ribbons are also considered to be the most difficult part to depict in cosplaying the character.

After the Hachune Miku meme appeared, Miku began to be associated with green onions (often confused with leeks). It was from this point on, as well as with Kaito and his association with ice cream, that the so-called "Item War" began in the fandom, where each Vocaloid was assigned an item to be associated with, and these items were constantly disputed. In connection with this, a large number of internet memes were created. This phenomenon is no longer observed.
