Their counterparts, which means their vocals were made to compliment each other, but this is not a relationship status.

Miku is part of the Character Vocal Series of which includes the Kagamines and Luka.

Meiko and Kaito were also made by Yamaha while Miku and co were made by Crypton Future Media, though CFM sold Meiko and Kaito.

The Miku x Kaito thing tends to be because both are blue, but Kaito is traditionally used anyway in a lot of things because once upon a time Vocaloid didn't have many male options. Gackpo was difficult to use plus was a mature adult male and Len was a female vocal and suppose to be a young male vocal. For more mature roles there was limited options and a number of producers fell back on Kaito not because he was easier to use then Gackpo (V1 was not easy to use), but simply because Kaito had a more all-round vocal, meaning he suited more song genres and was a little more age flexible sounding then Gackpo… He could pass for a teen or an adult. He also complimented a number of vocals though this wasn't the intention. Since Miku herself was a fairly flexible vocal and was commonly used, it was often for the two to be used together.

Meiko is another story and basically, unlike Kaito she pretty much wasn't able to stand out too much from the V2 girls because they could do most of the popular genres of music better. Meiko was better at rock then most V2's but even now... You have a number of vocaloids who can do rock better then she can, and there are just so many females... Plus she is one of the vocals who falls into a "common group type" and isn't even the best overall of her group. Its though on Meiko, she is still a CFM vocal though so is among the Big 8, often in the top 10 vocaloids. But its also why despite Kaito's counterpart she may just end up not very commonly paired up with him. People still fall back on Kaito for his usage, but Meiko is just one of a number of options. :-?
