Hachune Miku

Miku Hachune (はちゅねミク Hachune Miku) is a famous derivative of Miku Hatsune. Hachune (はちゅね) is a mispronunciation of Hatsune, which shows her childishness and generally silly disposition. Often seen in videos as a blank-eyed doll-like figure with a gaping mouth.

History
Miku Hachune was created by Otomania (video) and Tamago (picture) and established via Hatsune Miku's version of Loituma Girl internet meme, eventually going on to becoming its own character. Miku Hachune is acknowledged as one of the first mascots to gain popularity within the Vocaloid fandom.

Acceptance into Vocaloids
Miku Hachune is one of the Vocaloid derivatives that became officially recognized by Crypton Future Media, the publisher of the Character Vocal Series for Vocaloid 2. The other derivatives bearing this distinction is Meiko Sakine, Neru Akita, Haku Yowane, and Tako Luka.

Voice Configuration
Often, it's exactly the same as with Miku. Though, she is intended primarily as a mascot, rather than a singing derivative. Narutofreek123 made a voice configuration for Hachune, yet still could be edited, that works well with her.

Ievan Polkka
This is the first video of Miku Hachune (when this video was uploaded, the name of "Miku Hachune" was not decided). And it is the video which made Miku Hatsune world-famous. In addition, the fanmade setting (idea) of "Vocaloids have items" and "Miku Hatsune's item is a leek" came from this video. It got more than 2,000,000 view counts in NND.
