Kagamine Rin is a female Vocaloid software voicebank developed by Crypton Future Media in Sapporo, Japan. She was released in 2007 as part of the VOCALOID2 Kagamine Rin & Len software package along with her male counterpart, Kagamine Len. The two characters are based on the concept of twins, with Rin's name referring to the "right" audio channel and Len's name referring to the "left". Their surname, KAGAMINE, means "mirrored sound". The voices for Rin and Len were recorded by the same Japanese female voice actress, Asami Shimoda, who sang within her chest for Len's voice. Although Crypton originally intended to distribute Rin and Len as twins, they later stated that the characters are neither siblings nor lovers. Instead, they have approved of the many different interpretations of their relationship that have appeared in various works. For example, during the production of their Append, Wataru Sasaki, also known as Wat, described them as "two bodies with one soul".

Hatsune Miku was the first Vocaloid developed by Crypton Future Media after they handled the release of the Yamaha vocal Meiko and Kaito. Miku was intended to be the first of a series of Vocaloids called the "Character Vocal Series" (abbreviated "CV Series"), which included Kagamine Rin/Len and Megurine Luka.Legions of fans are celebrating the 16th anniversary of Miku's Aug. 31, 2007, release with events including a virtual exhibition and songwriting to showcase her standard high-pitched, cutesy voice.Her name is from the Japanese characters for first, sound, and future, so her name means “first sound from the future.” According to her backstory, Hatsune Miku comes from a not-so-distant future where music was lost. She emerged as a 16-year-old singing android who reintroduced the skills to the world.

Kasane Teto is a Japanese UTAU who was originally created as a troll "VOCALOID" by fans.She is an UTAUloid and a Vipperloid.
