The situation is much different between Ring and Lui. For Ring, an official announcement was made like this: http://file.pinoko.jp/miku_pic201106/dreamcreater_052.jpg. This is from a TV show "ドリームクリエイター" (Dream Creator) broadcast on Sept. 5, 2011. (Some other screen shots are found on 初音ミクみく(Vocaloid Blog))

However, there's no such announcement for Lui. The only reliable source I know is the original designer's picture, on which she wrote "外見年齢:12" meaning Lui's physical appearance is like a 12 year old boy. If she had wanted to say Lui IS 12, then she would have written just "年齢:12".

Even Japanese people often overlook the part "外見" (physical appearance), the difference is great. His real age can be anything.

I guess VocaNext won't decide his real age until they find his voice provider. It would be wiser. They can decide it according to the voice.
