MAIKA

She will be the second Spanish-capable female Vocaloid3 developed by Voctro Labs, though the third Spanish-capable Vocaloid over all.

Involvement in Plan B
This vocal had first appeared during the involvement of a collaboration between Voctro Labs and La Oreja de Van Gogh where the people could help to create the lyrics for the famous group. VoctroLabs provided the tools that allowed to the participants to listen to their written lyrics sung by the voice through the official website.

It was revealed this voice was a new Vocaloid that was being developed by the company and which was based out of the main singer of the band.

At curiousity of the fans to see if the voice would be sold the company announced they're planning on releasing the voice to the public, however they don't have a date for this yet.

Illustration Contest
The contest was held to look for a illustrator that would draw a design for the Vocaloid. First you had to send examples of your work where you had to email them telling them you were interested in being the illustrator, which you could do until 8th of July 2013. Then after they had reviewed the works of all of their entries they picked their favorites out of over 200 entries they had received. The chosen artists then had until the 15 of July to enter a design for Voctro Labs with the given detail of them to draw a 'pop star'.

The results were revealed on July 24th which revealed the winner to be Noriko Hayashi a runner-up to the previous YOHIOloid design contest. At the same time they revealed a silhouette of the design.
