Mew

Mew (ミウ / Miu) is a Vocaloid by YAMAHA. Her voice provider is Miu Sakamoto and utilizes the VOCALOID3 engine.

Appearance
Mew uses a aesthetic monochrome style. As her name suggest her name, Mew's design is cat-themed.

Mew's tattoo shows her name written phonetically. The way in which it's written (with an [uː] that features the suprasegmental for long vowel) suggests it used English phonetic notation, something unusual as Mew is a Japanese voicebank.

The cat on the boxart was modeled after Miu Sakamoto's own cat "Savami".

Etymology
Her name is based on her provider's name "Miu Sakamoto"
