ARSLOID

ARSLOID is a Japanese VOCALOID that was developed and distributed by the YAMAHA Corporation, in collaboration with UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN as ARSLOID (アルスロイド). He was released in September 2015 for the VOCALOID4 engine.

Concept
ARSLOID is the VOCALOID representation of Kano Akira, a member of the dance idol group. In his character biography, Akira's personality is described: 'He has a strong sense of duty, and is bright and lively. He is quick to get in a fight, and always has fresh wounds. He has good reflexes and is a popular person who never runs out of requests from different clubs asking for support, starting with his specialty – basketball. On the other hand, he also has an awkward and easily lonely side. He occasionally gets hurt from pranks which don’t have bad intentions.'

His birthday is August 5th, and his blood type is O.

Etymology
The name "ARSLOID" is a combination of the first part of ARSMAGNA, and the -loid suffix. "Ars magna" is Latin in origin and means "the great art".

The spelling of "ARSLOID" is not the spelling found on his character image file on the VOCALOID NET website; this is likely due to a translation mistake, as nearly all of ARSMAGNA's romaji spellings use the letter "R" in place of "L".

Appearance
Akira's design is based off the school uniform the 2D idol group wears, from the fictional 'Chronos Senior High School'.
