Well, it's not unlikely that some Vocaloids were influenced by Miku (considering her iconic status) though it's not something that's possible to prove without confirmation as there's many other areas similar traits could be inspired from.

It's odd people get so het up about it though. o: So what if the design was inspired, it happens in all merch. n_n
