'''Hatsune Mikuo''' is the popular genderswap based on official [[Vocaloid]] [[Hatsune Miku]].

==Design==

Mikuo's design is often reminiscent to that of Hatsune Miku, a Vocaloid 2 developed and distributed by Crypton Future Media. There has been no defined design as it changes from artist to artist, but it is common to see him wearing pants and a sleeved shirt. The most popular hairstyle for him is short with bangs, though a ponytail has often been seen. On his left upper arm is the red mark "01", which is Miku's series number.

==Personality and traits==

Mikuo has no defined personality, as he is an open source character. His height, weight, and optimum voice settings are undefined as well. This is because portrayals of him vary from artist to artist, he's commonly portrayed as tall and muscular or of small stature with a build similar to Miku.

==Biography==
===Source: Vocaloid Wiki===

Mikuo came to be as a result of extreme down pitching of Miku's songs, and possibly a desire to have Miku sound masculine. His visual characteristics followed soon after.

Mikuo's depiction varies; he's often portrayed as Miku's sibling, either as a twin or an older brother. And although he is one of the Vocaloid derivatives that continues to be popular, he is not officially recognized by Crypton Future Media. <ref>[http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Mikuo_Hatsune#History Vocaloid Wiki:] Mikuo Hatsune</ref>

==Voice configuration==
Having a history of being a mere Pitchloid, Mikuo was not easy to tune for Vocaloid; sometimes he still has hints of Miku's voice characteristics, or doesn't sound convincingly masculine. This limitation has since been overcome thanks to the efforts of many fans who wanted a proper configuration for Mikuo.

These configurations are also applicable to V3-- it is safe to ignore the Opening parameter. Additionally, the configuration can be applied to Hatsune Miku English; using it grants Mikuo the ability to sing in English.

'''These examples of configurations on the Fanloid wikia should not be viewed as being widely accepted or acknowledged by Crypton Future Media or Yamaha.'''

==Notable media==
The following songs were created by configuring Miku's voice in Vocaloid, not by merely down pitching existing songs with a third-party audio program.

==Additional info==
===Media trivia===
;peace maker
In this song, Mikuo is a soldier. He sang about his lover (Miku) and his mission to destroy the 'yellow diva' (Rin). In the end, Mikuo was killed by a boy (Len) for revenge.

;LIGHT
An original song by Aria-P. In this song, Mikuo is shown to be a 'bug' in Miku's voicebank. The Master of the computer wants to update the voicebank so no 'bugs' will be seen ever again. This song is about Mikuo spending his last moments with Miku before his 'deletion'.

===Relationships===

*The proposed fanon relationship appears to be popularized by pairing Mikuo with [[Megurine Luki]], Megurine Luka's genderswap. And depending on the intention it is either brotherly or romantically.

*And as previously mentioned, the relationship when paired with Hatsune Miku varies, though it is commonly established as being sibling related.

===Trivia===

*No one truly knows who first coined the name Mikuo.

*The name ミクヲ (Mikuwo) or ミク♂ has also been seen, but both are not as frequently used as ミクオ (Mikuo).

*Mikuo is among the first generation of Fanmade Vocaloids that are what today are called Pitchloids.

*On 29th of [[May]], it was known as 'Mikuo Day 2011'. A number of fanmade PVs, and covers using Mikuo were posted to celebrate that day, and can be found with the tag '[http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/%E3%83%9F%E3%82%AF%E3%82%AA%E3%81%AE%E6%97%A52011 ミクオの日2011]' in Nicovideo.
