VO summary

TLDR: Moke was supposed to be the second Chinese VOCALOID and first male, but the former president screwed up, YAMAHA took away the character rights and YANHE became the avatar of the voicebank instead. Moke, Ling, Longya, and Qingxian were unable to become VOCALOIDs for the rest of 2013. SHN rebought the rights in March 2014 so they can be VOCALOIDs again

EDIT - I also feel like Umbreon was referring to Japanese males, but I'm not sure. Oh, I knew about the voice bank thing. I thought you meant the character. Thanks anyway though.
