Going to plop this here to let everyone know the rankings for Vocaloids on Nico Video last year.

As you can see, Kaito is the current most popular male. He is the 5th most popular vocaloid overall. Doing this because some are making baseless comments here about who is ranked more popular then who.

In all of vocaloid, bare in mind on the Japanese side, Kaito and Vy2 are the only examples where the male outdid the female, but remember, in the case of VY1 she will have sold better... Since she is included in every app or version of the Vocaloid software whereas VY2 won't just because he isn't. So the only example of a Japanese male out doing his female counterpart both in sales and popularity is Kaito. Len may be included with Rin, but there is a gap in popularity between him and and Rin by about 100 vids on average a month on Nico. >_<

Also for anyone who has ANY doubt about how well Vocaloid is doing;

In the last year its had a software sales increase of nearly 20%; its not dead yet, its still growing in terms of success.
