Marketing
Yuki, along with SF-A2 miki and Hiyama Kiyoteru, was introduced to expand the Vocaloid market and give producers more vocal options to utilize.

Until May 2011, all AH-Soft Vocaloids were banned from KARENT.

Popularity
The three AH-Soft Vocaloids were slow to gain popularity and for a while were amongst the least popular Vocaloids. Kaai Yuki was noted in 2010 as the second most popular of the trio.

An independent Vocaloid search on Nico Nico Douga revealed that most Vocaloids, Yuki included, had less then 1,000 videos uploaded on Nico Nico Douga between July 1 and December 15, 2011.
