History

Backstory
The second installment in Crypton Future Media's Character Vocal series, released after the success of Hatsune Miku. A male-female twin concept was considered during planning, but official settings do not explicitly state detailed family relationships. Developed as a male voice to pair with the female voice of Kagamine Rin. After release, its high expressiveness was highly evaluated, leading to submissions of works by many creators.
