This isn't a situation like Gackpo, Piko, or YOHIOloid, where the character is based on the voice provider and can be thought of as sort of a fictionalized version of them. There's no reason to believe Iroha and her voice provider share anything but a voice, and a voice in isolation does not necessarily carry any implications of gender. (I hope that made sense. I am attempting to provide additional rationale for Iroha being considered a feminine Vocaloid.) part, if not the whole issue, is character vs actual voice/voiceprovider. Also, thank you for using gackpo.
