Yes, its more correct to it a "him" due to the masculine vocal, and it makes sense. But with no mascot, the Vocaloid itself is up to the producer.

Could be a alien for all people want, go mad. Do aliens even have genders? Who knows.

Funny enough in Japan all vocaloids are considered "its" because their objects, software, so the male and female applies to mascot and voice... But not to the vocaloid in terms of a person.

Its complicated and overseas fans can sometimes find it hard to understand that Miku herself is technically a "it". But no one will pick fault with this in due respects... Its not worth it. I remember the beyblade fandom, Bit-beasts are technically "it".

Thinking as I wrote this...

I guess we have something similar in English... In English "him" is often taken as the "it" when gender is unknown by default regardless of if this is correct or not. So if your a hunter as you see a squirrel and you want to hunt it, since this creatures gender is not obvious you may consider it naturally a "him".

When we use "it", it is for things with no characteristics whatsoever like a table or chair. The moment is starts being someone, be it animal or person, it stops being a "it".
