Hatsune Mikuo is the popular genderswap based on official Vocaloid Hatsune Miku.
Design
Mikuo's design is often reminiscent to that of Hatsune Miku, an official Vocaloid 2 developed and distributed by Crypton Future Media. Mikuo has no defined design, since it varies from artist to artist, although he is commonly seen wearing a sleeved shirt and pants. The most popular hairstyle for him is short with bangs, though a ponytail has been seen. In some cases, his left upper arm dons the red mark "01", which is Miku's series number, although it has been seen on many other parts of his body.
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 soft to 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 But he's not sibling as she And although he is one of the Vocaloid derivatives that continues to be popular, he is not officially recognized by Crypton Future Media. [1]
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 V4-- 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.
