Help:Information about VOCALOID relationships
Information about VOCALOID relationships is a page for information about the relationship between VOCALOID characters.

Notice in regards to this page
As of 10th December 2018 all relationship questions are being redirected here using the following template:



This is due to the large number of questions that simply ask about the same relationship without looking up to see if the question was already asked and answered. If there is any merit to the relationship of two Vocaloids, it will be noted on this page, so therefore please read this entire page if your question is redirected. It will answer anything that needs to be answer.

In particular if its about the Kagamine Rin/Kagamine Len relationship, its been asked and answered before ; such as are they married, twins, lovers, siblings, hate each other, love each other, love another Vocaloid, hate another Vocaloid, same character, mirror images, etc. There are not many variations of this question left that have not been asked and you do not need to ask at this point any question related to their relationship with each other. Please read the complete page to get all information on this subject.

Guidelines

 * The Answer wiki will not answer any information concerning non-Vocaloid characters such as UTAU or derivatives that does not refer to a Vocaloid link. This is not the UTAU, fanoid, etc Answer wiki - it is the Vocaloid Answers wiki. Please search elsewhere for answers to these questions.
 * Any asked questions that intentionally make attempts to bypass previously answered questions about relationships will receive a Warning and potential Block for spamming the wiki.
 * Do note that completely alternating the section based on personal head cannon will be taken as vandalism.
 * Named characters who are not Vocaloids are indicated via italic writing.
 * Attempts will be made to give direct links where possible to wiki pages related to names, if there is no link then there is no known wiki page available currently.
 * Some Vocaloids will appear on more then one list at times since they have several layers to their "relationship".
 * This page focuses only on relationships between Vocaloids, other backstories will be handled by other "Help" pages.
 * For general character design see Help:Character Designs

What if the relationship is not on this page?
If the relationship is not mentioned on this page, it is considered "non-canon", this page will only address "canon" relationships between Vocaloids and non-Vocaloid characters that are officially acknowledged.

Note that non-Canon relationships fall in the realm of "personnel interpretations", commonly referred to as "Head canon". These exist because there is not much "canon" information on many of the Vocaloids and fans often fill in the gaps. This includes unofficial pairings with UTAU and OCs (aka "Fanloids" or "derivatives").

This is most notable in songs, wherein two Vocaloids can be in a relationship of any nature be it professional, romantic or family. However, songs have no barring on the Vocaloids themselves and are not considered "canon". Therefore these relationships will not be addressed here. Fans, however, have been largely influenced by these songs. This results in certain Vocaloids being in a relationship of some form, often romantic, being paired with each other when no such relationship exists.

What is a "Relationship"?
A relationship is a direct and deep link or bond between two separate people, items, animals, etc. It can be family, romantic, professional, work, development, etc.

This page is designed to answer all questions related to Vocaloid relationships.

Complimentary/Counterpart vocaloids
The following is a list of Vocaloids who have complimentary or counterpart vocals. This simply means their vocals are designed to be used together in song or were originally designed to convey the same idea in a different manner, thus providing contrasting results to each other.

Serial vocals
These are Vocaloids released in series, similar to "complimentary/counterpart Vocaloids", except they may be more then just a pair.


 * The VY series ; vocals made by Yamaha to represent a progression in a particular way, the series consists of VY1, VY2, Cyber Diva and Cyber Songman.
 * Character Vocal series ; designed to have 3 vocals that represent voice as it first begins (Hatsune Miku), voice being echoed (Kagamine Rin/Len) and the voice as it travels (Megurine Luka).

 * "Poid" ; was a suffix attached to the early Vocaloids by Internet co.,Ltd. This is not a series as per such, but is considered at times such due to all 3 having similar natures. I.e. they were early attempts to capture the traits of singers. The members were Gumi ("Megpoid"), Camui Gackpo ("Gackpoid") and Ryuto ("Gachapoid").
 * Masaoka Azuki & Kobayashi Matcha ; designed for mobile app related to Project 575 which used a lite version of the Vocaloid2 editor. They later were released as full Vocaloids.

The following was meant to be a series but this did not manifest;
 * Vocaloidol ; Tone Rion was part of a group called "Vocaloidol", she was the only vocal made.

Other development links

 * COCOROBO and Tohoku Itako ; same provider - Itako is the sister of Tohoku Zunko.

What other sources mention relationships?

 * SONiKA ; SONiKA, a VOCALOID developed by Zero-G, has a Twitter account. She has called LEON, LOLA and MIRIAM her older siblings. This is open to interpretation though as siblings can be taking literally or metaphorically. See Tweet here. She also refers to Prima and Tonio as an Aunt and Uncle, but stating they are not married. She has mentioned BIG AL, a VOCALOID developed by PowerFX, as being her best friend. Also during BIG AL's development stage she stated that she didn't know if his release would make her the big sister or little sister due to her release chronologically being ahead of his, however, by age BIG AL is biologically older than her.
 * Leon and Lola ;LEON and LOLA were considered "siblings" by fans and the media, and later a representative from Zero-G admitted sometimes they think of them as "siblings", this remains unofficial.
 * Oliver ; During OLIVER's demo debut the song "PowerFX Family" was created. This was to parody the Addams Family series. There has been no word from PowerFX themselves claiming that OLIVER is related to Sweet ANN and BIG AL by some means, besides product and company relation.
 * Crypton Future Media ; Crypton Future Media have confirmed that the Kagamines have no official relationship and are left to fan interpretation. This applies to all of their Vocaloids and is done to prevent limitations on producer creativity.

Help:Character Designs
==About== As of December 31st 2018 all questions regarding character design will be directed here.

The following redirects are linked to this page:



Guidelines

 * The characters design aspect is already described on the Vocaloid wiki most of the time, so a link will be placed on this page regarding this linking to the character's page.
 * This page will try and answer to the best of its abilities any question related to character design ro redirect to where you can find the information.

Recycled Designs
Note that similarities in design are common among Vocaloids and certain design aspects are recycled from previous Vocaloids that already exist. Though fans, producers and general users of the software can deny this takes place, it is very much a confirmed occurrence. It can be a touchy subject to many who follow Vocaloid and some reactions are quite negative towards it and agressive reactions are quite common.


 * Read here for more details

Few studios will admit that it goes on as it brings into question plagiarism or copyright issues. So though it goes on, its rarely admitted to. Those that have already been subject to issues have already overhauled the design for this reason. The goal when this occurs, however, is not to copy the character directly but simply make a character that fits in with the existing Vocaloids and appeal to existing Vocaloid fans. As such, even when two characters are known to have recycled designs, side by side the viewer should still be able to tell the two apart. Quite often, especially with the Vocaloids confirmed to have taken influence from other Vocaloids, the two resulting designs look nothing alike overall. Confirmed : The following are confirmed design recycling.
 * Hatsune Miku - generally she had no single known design influence, however it is known that was generally based on popular anime character design tropes that already existed at the time of her development.
 * Kagamine Rin - As she followed Miku in the CV series, her design is influenced by the previous vocal "Hatsune Miku".
 * Kagamine Len - As he followed Miku in the CV series, her design is influenced by the previous vocal "Hatsune Miku".
 * Megurine Luka - As he followed Miku in the CV series, her design is influenced by the previous vocal "Hatsune Miku".
 * Camui Gackpo - has digital design on normal clothes, this was influenced by the Crypton Future Media Vocaloid as Internet co.,Ltd did not want to stray from the existing formula. His colour og purple was also chosen to stand out from them.
 * SF-A2 miki - took some notes out on Rin and Miku in body design.
 * Sonika - had much influence from the existing Japanese Vocaloids.
 * Big Al - Also took much influence from the existing Japanese Vocaloids, though was also designed not to conflict with a existing version of Leon that was popular among fans at the time.
 * Macne Nana - confirmed to have been designed to be a "sound princess" for Mac computers she, along with the other Macne family members, owe their existence to Hatsune Miku.

Unconfirmed ; These are unconfirmed but obvious redesigns, as well as those whose designs were a little too close to existing ones and had to be redesigned for this reason.
 * SeeU - though commonly denied to be recycling designs, she is very heavily influence by Hatsune Miku's design to the point wherein it became difficult to ignore the resemblance. These include; name (SeeU and Miku), certain design aspects, concept art (particular, one known copied the pose for Vocaloid2 Hatsune Miku directly), her code ("SV01", Miku's is "CV01").  SeeU was never confirmed but it became clear she was heavily influenced by Miku.
 * Uni - Uni's original design closely resembled that of Hatsune Miku Appends design to the point fans expressed concern and a redesign took place. The current version resembles more SeeU's.
 * Xingchen - generally had issues similar to SeeU to the point a redesign took place to settle concerns about the design. The main issue was that though she had 4 pigtails, she still resembled Hatsune Miku Append and the second pair of tails did not change the design enough to notice.

Other Other reports of design reusing
 * Ring Suzune - along with Hibiki Lui, the pair were noted of looking like Hatsune Miku and the Kagamines after the pair were revealed. Part of this is because the concepts were also based on popular design recycling among Japanese Vocaloid fans, but even the final designs were drawn by artists used to drawing existing Vocaloids.  So when they came to draw Ring and Lui, their style meant there was little difference in the "look" of Ring and Lui and the artist's art for Miku and the Kagamines. The contest the pair were made for had strong issues with design recycling and a vast majority of the entries displayed this issue.
 * The Vocaloid:China project and contest encountered the same issue. A lot of the entries were clearly influenced by the popular Crypton Future Media Vocaloids to the point even the Chinese fans took note of this.

Avatarless
Some Vocaloids have no avatars at all and others have placeholders.

The lack of design is because initially designs were not considered important pre-VOCALOID2. Vocaloid was a professional product and was not meant to serve any purpose but giving a tool to producers to use. Hatsune Miku is largely responsible for this becoming popular.


 * Leon - has a placeholder that is simply a set of lips
 * Lola - same as Leon
 * Miriam - a burry picture of Miriam Stockleigh is present, but this is not "Miriam".
 * Meiko - revoked later when designs became popular, the girl on the box became the character "Meiko"
 * Kaito - same as Meiko.
 * Prima - the picture is not Prima
 * Tonio - the picture is not Tonio
 * VY1 - no official avatar
 * VY2- no official avatar
 * Cyber Diva - the boxart is not Cyber Diva
 * Cyber Songman - the boxart is not Cyber Songman
 * Zola Project - technically they have concept art of which the producer is meant to work from. However, officially they have no "final" design.

Backstories
The following is the backstory designs of many Vocaloids

Note that this section only briefly sums up a Vocaloids purpose, for their relationships with others see Help:Information about VOCALOID relationships.

Race/Species
The following were intended to be Vocaloids that had specific "race" or "Species".

Android ; Identified as a robot meant to resemble a human being in appearance, in fiction their designs vary from all-metal to full organic appearances. Note that the name "android" is actually applied to the male version, the female is actually known as "gynoid".
 * Hatsune Miku - was conceptualised as a "android from the future where music has been lost"
 * Kagamine Rin - Same as Miku
 * Kagamine Len - Same as Miku and Rin
 * Megurine Luka - Same as the Kagamines and Miku
 * SF-A2 miki - was made to be "doll-like" in appearance with organic material bound to a frame that gave her a slightly deformed look.
 * Akikoloid-Chan- confirmed a robot made to resemble Akiko.
 * Rana - confirmed a prototype model for "Rana" units.

Cyborgs ; Cyborgs are cybernetic organisms that have natural organic bodies enhanced with machinery
 * Sweet Ann - based on a Frankenstein's monster, Sweet Ann is considered a "cyborg"
 * Big Al - same as Sweet Ann
 * Oliver - Same as Sweet Ann and Big Al though uses bandages instead of stitches

Fairies ; Fairies are magical and supernatural beings, often with mystical or magical powers.
 * Aoki Lapis - a fairy of light with the power to give energy to life as she sings
 * Merli - a dark fairy with the power to drain life as she sings

Elves ; Elves are creatures of folklore, Germanic in origin.
 * Avanna

Angels Angels are the divine servants of God(s) and serve as messagers and guardians.
 * Luo Tianyi

Gods/Demi-Gods Beings with divine or mystical powers that are powerful above all
 * LUMi - a would-be Goddess

Misc.
Time Travellers;
 * Tone Rion - was originally a time travelling Diva from the future

Teacher;
 * Kiyoteru - is a school teacher for

Tattoos
Generally these are not very common and are only found on a few Vocaloids. The main type of Tattoo found is present on the arm.
 * Hatsune Miku - signals she is vocal "CV01"
 * Kagamine Rin - signals she is vocal "CV02"
 * Kagamine Len - signals he is also vocal "CV02"
 * Megurine Luka - signals she is vocal "CV03"
 * Sonika- based on the influence of the CV series, her tattoo reads her name in Japanese.
 * Her updated design boxart also has general body tattoos which has no stated source.
 * SeeU - also influenced by the CV series, this means "SV01".
 * Mew - contains her own name in Japanese.

Note that SF-A2 miki's lines on her body were not tattoos but limb joints as she was an android.

Numbers
This generally is a confusing topic to discuss as very few Vocaloids have "numbers".
 * It generally refers to the Crypton Future Media Vocaloids Hatsune Miku, the Kagamines and Megurine Luka who were respectively "CV01", "CV02" and "CV03".
 * SeeU has "SV01" referring also that she is the first Vocaloid to be made by SBS Artech.
 * VY1, VY2 are part of the "VY Series" and have numbers related to their vocals in their names. However, Cyber Diva and Cyber Songman do not, but are officially known as "VY3" and "VY4".
 * SF-A2 miki also has a number in her name, but the origin of the name is unknown.
 * Some product codes for sale give codes to Vocaloids, but these are not official and are just methods of the on-line shops organising their content. So Vocaloids have codes assigned to them such as  "ZG-01" referring to "Zero-G vocal 01". These are not officially part of the character unlike the above.

Otherwise Vocaloids do not have numbers at all.

Where to buy? / How to buy?
Most VOCALOID software can be purchased by directly from their respective companies (studio) website. It is recommended that you try checking or contacting an official VOCALOID producing company about purchasing the software. Attempting to legally purchase the software can vary per VOCALOID, this is especially true for Japanese voicebanks. Sometimes Amazon has the software, but even then this is not always the easiest route to persue, because when going through a third party or risk buying on aution sites such as eBay, it is not known if the VOCALOID voicebank is legitimate or not.

There are options of import for Japanese VOCALOIDs, such as Rakuten: Global Market and AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop], considered common places to buy. However please note that it is impossible to get Rin/Len Act 1 due to the Act 1 banks no longer being available for purchase. In addtion, many search engines now have shopping portals, if you type "VOCALOID" into the search bar, you may get results leading to which online store can ship VOCALOID software.


 * The company...
 * Power-FX currently has four VOCALOIDs available. Many of them can be ordered by going to their website.
 * Zero-G currently has seven VOCALOIDs available. Many of them can be ordered by going to their website.
 * Downloadable versions of YAMAHA's VOCALOID3 voicebanks are available from the English site of VOCALOID STORE.

How expensive? What is the average cost?
You can expect to pay up to $230 for a VOCALOID, though it depends on the studio and what you're after. The cost can also vary depending on the language type of the VOCALOID. Japanese VOCALOIDs tend to cost more due to shipping internationally. For VOCALOID3, the main software is separate from the voicebanks. You only have to buy the engine once and then you can buy other vocals, so the price is much cheaper. For VOCALOID2, the price is higher because the engine is sold with every VOCALOID. This also applies for the original VOCALOID software. However, English VOCALOID voicebanks are the cheapest voicebanks to get a hold of most of the time. Unless you go for the Kagamine original software that Kagamine Act 2 replaced, since its a retired voicebank it will fetch over $230 at the cheapest.


 * A VOCALOID1, VOCALOID2...
 * Japanese VOCALOID will cost you about anywhere from $200 to $300. Also if you plan on buying Appends for Miku, Rin, or Len then you must also have the original banks installed.
 * English VOCALOID will cost you about anywhere from $80 ( VOCALOID1: LE♂N, L♀LA, or MIRIAM ) to $200 ( VOCALOID2: Tonio and Prima ). The average being about $129 ( VOCALOID2: BIG AL or Sweet ANN).


 * A VOCALOID3...
 * Oliver has been estimated to be about $129 USD as well but will not include the full editor like in vocaloid 2. The vocaloid 3 engine will cost about $100 USD alone. However some VOCALOID3 have been bundled and cost about $200-$400.
 * Yamaha's VOCALOID3 voicebanks are downloadable at reasonable price from VOCALOID STORE. For example, VY1V3 is $124 USD. The full editor is sold separately.
 * Another note is that unlike Crypton appends, V3 Megpoid does not require the original Megpoid to be used but each extension is separate and costs about $200 and will need the full V3 Editor to work.
