Unfortantely what put a lot ff design. The more you look at her the more you see the X other characters that came before and after her.

TV tropes calls this trope "Only Six Faces" along with other related topics. ITs when an artist has about a handful of facial features and all that changes is what clothes that character wears, as you can see by the page South Park is pretty much one of the best examples of this. ITs often done to cheapen things, make production quicker or because of laziness/lack of creativity by the artist and creators. In short, Kamui uses the same model design as Rin and that put a lot of people off. Thats not to say she looks EXACTLY like her, its that she pretty much has the same base model.

To be honest the whole issue was caused by one or two translators not doing their job correctly and mislabelling her as a upcoming Vocaloid because they mistook "upcoming character idol" or something as meaning she would be a vocaloid. Kamui has had several campaignes and all of them failed miserably. Lack of popularity is still like of popularity. Even if the design is pretty cool, she was pretty much a dead horse.
