History
Crypton Future Media intended to produce a VOCALOID with a young teen girl's voice at first following Hatsune Miku, but there was also demand for a boy's voice, so Crypton Future Media hired a voice actress who could produce both. Kagamine Rin was the first voicebank developed and introduced to the VOCALOID consumer market on November 8, 2007. However, the package included two voicebanks: one for Rin and another for Len both provided by the seiyū Asami Shimoda (下田 麻美 Shimoda Asami), Kagamine Len was unveiled after Kagamine Rin on December 3, 2007. The package was the same price as Hatsune Miku, even though there were two voicebanks in the box.

According to Asami Shimoda, Len's voice was achieved by singing within her chest, while Rin's at the top of her head.
