The group working on him consist of mostly fans of the software, they are working hard to make Ring but can only do this in stages. This is why its taking so long to make Ring, let alone Lui. :-/

Also despite being just software, the avatar or vocaloid mascot on the box was designed to appeal to the culture its aimed at. Yes, its swallow to like a Voclaoid for its looks, but in Japan they have mascots for almost everything and often anything. The mascot is the avatar of the product, while the product is the "soul". Thats why stealing is shunned in the Japanese Vocaloid fandom, because your stealing the "soul" of something. Or something like that, its been over a year since this was explained to us and I can't remember the details.

Regardless, females sell better in Japan then males, even if you consider the Kagamines who are sold as a package, Rin has more songs then Len. You also have to consider the JKapanese Otaku fandom itself are mostly male driven fanbases.

While its true he is girlie male, but take note we haven't had one that is INTENTIONALLY girlie up until now on this level. Therefore while the design isn't very unique, he is still a first for Vocaloid. Even Len and Gachapoid don't share his overall design.

Also, with so many popular male vocaloids getting updates right now, perhaps its not a good time to release a Vocaloid male.

We arer hoever due a male soon, sadly I can't bring the references onto the wikia since I lost them a while ago. :-/
