MEIKA Hime & Mikoto (鳴花(メイカ)ヒメ・ミコト) are Japanese VOCALOIDs developed and distributed by Gynoid Co., Ltd.. They were released for the VOCALOID5 engine in March 2019.
They were voiced by the Japanese voice actress Kotori Koiwai.
Concept
Hime and Mikoto represent the spirit of plum flowers.
Gynoid noted that they are not real people. Their "spirit" (精霊) is unspecified in addition to their genders, and are "free from gender" entirely.[3]
Etymology
Their surname is officially rendered as "MEIKA" in capital letters.[4]
During the sketching stage of their designs, Hime was nicknamed "cute" and Mikoto "cool" by the artists as the final names were not decided yet.[5]
Appearance
When listening to their voice during the recording process, miwasiba intended to create a design that was reminiscent to flower's. As time progressed, a girlish character was done alongside a boyish one with a clear distinction between the two.[5]
When asked if hair color served any significance, Gynoid answered that they don't believe so and that it was up to their illustrator to answer that question.[6] Although the hair color may hint at the Japanese folklore of Aka-Oni and Ao-Oni, a set of characters who are foils to one another in personality and actions. [7]
