You can't create a character called "Hatsune Miku" and have her dressed like the Miku and use her for a series because you don't own her. And the outfit since its specific would be in a position for copyright enquiry.

However, animators can get away with parodies and so fourth to an extent as a cultural reference. For example Family Guy here in the west referencing Airplane, and who knows what. Or Dexter's Lab referencing Tron.
