Yowane Haku and Akita Neru are (official) fanmade derivatives of Hatsune Miku. (More info on Derivative page, I'm not gonna spend time explaining this to everybody). Notice the difference here: Miku is an official vocaloid, while Haku and Neru are derivates to vocaloid.

Basically, Haku and Akita Neru are just Miku with pitched voice and different design. Their appearance on PD doesn't mean they are officially Vocaloid; they are only added for the sake of pleasing fans (it was 2008-2009 after all).

Derivatives aren't trending anymore (or at least that's what I think), like the Internet item war something, pretty dated. Generally, new fans would be fond of stuff like those, but Vocaloids are more than just that ya know :/
