Its very difficult as their using him for a purpose he wasn't built for and honestly there isn't much of a solution indefinitely.

I can't even say "X Vocaloid would be better" here. Kaito has a soft-ish vocal and two softer extra vocals, while Gackpoid has a "Whisper" vocal but their both "mature" types, there is Len, but he counts as a "female" vocal type and is not a true male vocal... And while I'm not willing to look up which vocal counts as a "soft"-ish one, I can recall its not enough as Rin's was better then Len's. But both Gackpo and Kaito are about as soft as the Vocaloids go in terms of male because we're lacking in male vocals, particularly there is no male version of Yukari. Least not within the Japanese range. Even though Fukase would count, Fukase is higher pitched the VY2 and has shallow range and in general if they own VY2, they already have the better Vocaloid voicebank over Fukase's.

The two I don't know where to place are Ken and Kiyoteru here. Kiyoteru counts as a mature vocal anyway and Ken we've still got few examples to base things on.

Its such a hard nut to crack because while the Vocaloid is good in VY's case, he isn't the right vocaloid and there aren't many alternatives. The girls have it easier because nearly every available vocal type has been covered, in some cases multiple times. And by the looks of it going forward, we're not going to get more VY2 voicebanks as they abandoned the Falsetto vocal for V5.
