Concept
Crypton had the idea to release Miku as "an android diva in the near-future world where songs are lost."When KEI
illustrated Miku, he was asked to draw Miku as an android and a color
scheme to go off of (based on YAMAHA synthesizer's signature blue-green
color). Crypton also provided KEI her detailed concepts, however,
Crypton says it was not easy to explain what a "Vocaloid" was like to
him, and KEI says he could not create an image of a "singing computer"
at first, as he did not even know what a "synthesizer" was. It took him
more than a month.
The digital design on Miku's skirt and boots are based off synthesizer
program colours and the bars represent the actual bars within the
program, following Crypton's idea. Part of her design seems to be based
on Yamaha's keyboard model DX-100 .
Miku was originally intended to have a different hairstyle, but KEI stuck to pigtails after trying them out. Her pigtails have since become a iconic status of her design. On June 22 2012, Hatsune Miku's Twin tails even earned her the title of the Twin Tail which best represented the 2000s, marking her the best set of Twin Tails in the dawn of the 21st century. She now shares her twin tail distinction with other characters like Sailor Moon (who won best Twin Tails for the 90s period).
After an Internet Meme involving Hachune Miku, Miku was associated with a spring onion (often mistaken for a leek due to the similar appearance). This along with Kaito's discovery started a habit called "the Item War" where it became traditional for new Vocaloids to have an item assigned to them and the items were debated on until one stuck via an Internet Meme.
The thin squares around her pigtails are futuristic ribbons made of a special material that float in place. As seen in Kei's art for Miku, they are able to hold Miku's pigtails in place without having to physically touch the hair itself. The ribbons are also reported by Kei to be the hardest item on the character's design for cosplayers to recreate.
Aged 14, Len is twins with his sister, Kagamine Rin. They can be protrayed either as twins or reflections of a mirror depending on the person viewing them or the song (it is not officially stated).
As a character from the second installment of Crypton's Vocaloid Character Voice Series, he is voiced by Asami Shimoda.

Released on December 27, 2007, Kagamine Rin/Len (鏡音リン・レン?) is the second installment of the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series. Their family name was chosen by combining Kagami (鏡, Mirror?), Ne (音, Sound?), with the first syllables of their given names a pun on "Left" and "Right". According to Vocaloid's official blog, the package includes two voice banks: one for Rin and another for Len, both provided by the voice actor Asami Shimoda. Despite the double voice banks, the package still sells at the same price as Hatsune Miku.[25] Their only cameo appearance in an anime is in (Zoku) Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei, where the two and Miku (and various other people and characters) try out to be the voice of Meru Otonashi.
On June 12, 2008, Crypton announced the updated edition, named "act2", will be released in early July 2008. Users who had bought the old version will get an expansion disc free of charge. On June 18, 2008, beta demonstration songs using the new version were released on the company's official blog.[26] The expansion disc is an entirely different software and does not affect the original Kagamine Rin/Len installation in any way, giving the user options to either use the old or new voice sets exclusively or combine their usage.

Tone Rion "Second Edition"
Tone Rion was one of several products which was re-released in 2013
under "SE" edition. The updated version will host 3 new job plug-ins
for the Vocaloid3 engine as well as the latest version of "Vocaloid3' and Vocaloid 3 Lite.
For users who already own the original vocal, there is no need for a
second purchase as aside from a software package update, all the new
added bonus content in the SE addition is downloadable from the Vocaloid
website.
The original version of Tone Rion will be discontinued from sale on August 20th 2013.[5]
Concept
Her brief backstory states that she is 16 years old, good at singing
and dancing and was born in 2095. Rion performs on the "Dear Stage"
(ディアステージ) located in future Akihabara set 100 years from the current
time.
The design has the distinct appearance of a 'cooking' maid. However, based upon her background, the design is meant to portray an Akibamaid (秋葉原 メイド), a cosplay girl whose role is that of waitress rather than a cook.
Etymology
The the Kanji for Tone Rion's name means 兎 (Bunny/Rabbit) and 眠
(Sleep), however the phrase itself "兎眠" (Rabbit's sleep) has no
signifcant meaning in Japanese. Though the company does not give any
account, Rion's name is believed to be a double pun on the English word tone and the musical instrument Tenori-on produced by Yamaha
Concept
According to KEI,
who was asked to illustrate her by Crypton, due to her bilingual
software, her design was made to be asymmetrical, so from different
angles she would look different.
Her design incorporates woodwind and brass instruments. The gold curl design on her chest mimics brass instruments and a circulatory organ. The blue jewel near her throat represents moisture in the air and water drops. [4]
Vocaloid fans tried to assign an item to Luka like they had done with past Vocaloids and there was a heated debate on what Luka's item would be. Tako Luka is marked as the end of the "Item War" system where as items were assigned to Vocaloids based on Internet Memes. Despite the Internet Meme's popularity, she is often seen with a tuna fish. This is a result of comparing the Japanese word for "tuna" with her last name.
Etymology
Her surname combines Meguri (巡, circulate or around) and Ne (音,
sound), while the name Luka invokes the homonymous Japanese words of
"nagare" (流, flow) and "ka" (歌, song) or "ka" (香, scent); thus making
"songs to all around the world as scent spreads."
History
Following the rising popularity of Hatsune Miku, "Vippers" (Vip News Bulletin@2ch users) schemed a troll "new Vocaloid release" as an April Fool's joke. Sen (線) provided the rough sketch and Nobuyo Oyama, a spoof for Doraemon's former voice actress Nobuyo Ohyama, provided the vocal. The Teto project continued after the troll campaign, and her vocal was recorded again for the use on UTAU, which vocal synthesis software was released two months earlier. UTAU and Teto were both unnoticed among Vocaloid composers at first, but during the last half of the year several creators started composing songs for Teto, causing her fame to be established during the next year. The voice provider's name reading was then changed to Mayo Oyamano (小山乃 舞世 Oyamano Mayo) to avoid unnecessary confusion.Teto was given official acceptance to Piapro on Apr. 1, 2010, and to Project DIVA on Oct. 10, 2011 .
Impact on Vocaloid
The first cover song using Teto was created as early as on April 6 of the year, and her signature song Mimi no Aru Robot no Uta
(耳のあるロボットの歌; Song of Eared Robot) was released on June 10 by
Mimirobo-P. Since then several creators including Lamaze-P, Telmin and
Death Ohagi started to create Teto songs. Some of these early works are Fake Diva, Triple Baka, Kasane Territory and Popipo Mk2.
UTAU editing was more difficult than Vocaloid editing and Teto's vocal
sounded robotic, so Teto's popularity was mostly owed to the character.
The voicebank was little focused on.This trend changed on August 1 2009, when UTAU platform was updated and VCV voicebanks became available. Teto's VCV voicebank was released on October 20, 2009 and her singing became more natural than before. This evolution made more DAW users turn their eyes towards Teto. Many Teto songs were posted to Nicovideo, and Teto and UTAU established the place with Vocaloid.
Concept
KEI was
given the concept Crypton intended, their approximate ages, an image of
mirror, and an image of androids, but was not given any other directions
when he was asked to illustrate Rin and Len by Crypton, as Kei had
already illustrated Miku before. Rin was the first one to be illustrated
and Len was made to match her, following Crypton's concept. Their leg
parts are designed to mimic speakers.[1][2] The keytar
Len is often featured holding in merchandise is a Yamaha KX5 of which
both the Kagamine designs take certain design elements from.
As they were under development, Crypton had the concept of making a pair of male and female voicebanks. The first idea of the concept was twin voices of a girl and her mirror image of opposite gender, just like twins. [3]
CFM had an intention to distribute them as twins, but this was not adopted either. After seeing many works that depict their relationships differently, Crypton announced on a magazine interview that those would meet their ideal. Crypton announced that they are neither siblings nor lovers. [4][5] During Append production, Wat described them as one soul between the 2 of them, and stated he is to blame for that.[6] During the boxart for the Append, Wat described it as making the pair seem like Twins.[7] It was due the fetal position they were in.[8] Wat also wanted the Appends to have a sense of transparency about their design to give a transparent feeling.[9] The "transparency" was in reference to their hearts in clarification on what he meant due to confusion over what he meant by this.[10]
Kagamine Rin's introduction artwork
- Rin has "Act2" on her arm under her "02" tattoo.
- Rin's top was changed in the introductory image between versions around the armpit area. Frills were added to the bottom of her top in Act2
- Her shoulder was not correctly drawn in the original version
- All the yellow bands on her outfit were made bigger on Act2.
- Her fringe was made thicker above the left eye.
- In Kagamine Rin's artwork, her left knee was thicker and her right leg was too short. Kei corrected this in her Act2 version. Her right leg position changed and so did her Left foot position
- Forearms have been shortened in Act2.
- The cyber-on-normal clothing design on their detached sleeves were changed from a green bar to a blue one
- Kagamine Len has "Act 2" on his headphones.
- The cyber-on-normal clothing design on the detached sleeves were changed from a green bar to a blue one
- His fringe was reshaped, other strands were adjusted as well
- Len's face, particularly around the cheekbones, have been reshaped.
- His left knee has a minor tweak
- Kagamine Rin's leg position was changed in their boxart so it was lifted up off the ground, the only way the previous position would have worked was if her leg was deformed or broken.
- Rin's body itself compared to the length of her legs is shorter then in the original boxart, the legs longer.
- Kagamine Rin's knee is rounded instead of sharp
- Both had the cyber-on details changed on their detached sleeves
Continuing the tradition of the Item War Internet Meme, many items were preposed for the pair. In the end, Len's item was a Banana because his hair was commented to resemble a bunch of bananas, while Rin's item was an Orange since her bow gave the impression of orange leaves. Before her release, Rin had the Road Roller assigned to her by accident in a video that recieved many views suddenly on December 1, 2007. Kagamine Len had yet to be revealed at the time of the Road Roller meme
