Meiko and Kaito were designed to be counterparts and were made by Yamaha, they were a male and female vocal designed to head the Japanese version of the V1 engine. It was the same for Leon and Lola in the English version of the software, both were male and female counterparts focused on Soul music. Kaito and Meiko were also professional vocalists.

Miku is made by Crypton, part of the Character Vocal Series of which there are no male vocals (Len I'm discounting due to female vocalist) and was focused on 3 female vocals originally. Aside from the Kagamines, there are no counterparts in the CV series. Originally the CV series was voice acted and though aimed at professionals designed to maintain a certain quality of vocal characteristics. This is a different approach to Meiko and Kaito.

So yes, Meiko was made for Kaito. The pair had nothing in common with Miku and co, except that they were sold by Crypton Future Media who were Yamaha's distributors in V1.
