Hm, while I don't doubt there is a larger amount of male fans than female fans, there's a also decent amount of fanart produced for the males Vocanese characters, I don't think it would be a risky venture, as there is no competition in the demographic. (｡´ ∀｀)ﾉ But more importantly, I think there's a bigger reason a male is warrented. It's in the second half of my post:

'''...if you don't have anything that appeals to females, of course there will be no female fans. There weren't many otaku Vocaloid fans until Miku came along. Products are often made in response to demand, but products also bring in the demand. Bringing in a new demographic is more important that catering to the current demographic because it expands the market.''

''I think having at least one male Vocaloid per language is not just a matter of catering to fans, but common sense. It's a major thing to be missing, it's an important tool for producers. orz There may be less demand for males, but so long as the gender exists there is never 0%.'''
