UTAUloids

UTAUloids
They were originally considered Vocaloids as well, because of Teto, the pioneer if not the first UTAUloid being attempted to pass off as a real Vocaloid. UTAUloids refers to voice banks that work on UTAU. This is done to differentiate them from Vocaloids that run on Yamaha's Vocaloid and Vocaloid2 platform. Because UTAU has the ability to manually import voice sounds as WAV files, it is quite easy to create "our own" Utauloids- which has resulted in a large boom of voice banks.

The only restriction from making an UTAUloid is using voice data unwillingly recorded. This means people cannot make UTAUloids out of popular people like artists and singers without their say-so.

Teto Kasane (重音テト)
Teto is a voice bank made for a freeware spin-off of Vocaloid named UTAU. Her character item is french toast, or a loaf of french bread. Her voice actress is Nobuyo Oyama (小山 乃舞世).

She was originally designed as an April Fools joke by 2ch users to trick Nico Nico Douga users into thinking she was a new Vocaloid from Crypton Future Media (her company's name was Crvipton), but was eventually turned into an independent character. She is conceptualized by collaborative users of vip@2ch, and is illustrated by Chimera.

Being part of the April Fools joke, she was originally depicted as 31 years old girl, and her official site and 2ch users assert this. However, this was later clarified to be her age as a human and chimera (a kind of dragon) hybrid, thus making her 16 years old in human years. She is now 17 years old in 2009. Her height is 159.5 cm (5'2"). Her weight is 47 kg (103 lbs). Her tempo range is in between 70-150bpm, and as of the latest sound bank release by vip@2ch, her desirable pitch range is between a3 to e5. Her preferred genres are pop music and anison.

Teto's catch phrase is "You are so stupid! (Kimi wa jitsuni baka da na!)". She says it in "Triple Baka", "Lucky Star OP", and "Kasane Territory". A video telling her life story can be found here.

Related characters include Ted Kasane, the male counterpart of Teto. He may be her brother, but this is still a rumor. To see a video of them both, click here.

She appears in the Hatsune Mix manga by KEI. She is shown on a bottle of MEIKO's sake labeled "重音てと" (Kasane Teto). page found here Her voice bank may be downloaded either from her "official" site or from the official UTAU website.

Ruko Yokune (欲音ルコ)

 * Ruko is yet another attempted joke character, made by 2ch to trick users into thinking she is the third Vocaloid release of Crypton, just like Teto. She is tall with hair highlights, heterochromatic eyes- which reflect both fluency in Japanese and English (a prominent feature for Crypton's third character, Luka Megurine)- tank top, sleeveless polo shirt, and low-cut pants, exposing a pair of black string underwear. The joke was unfortunately not able to catch on. She is said to be twelve, but eventually is nineteen. VIPPERS (2ch users) made her a hermaphrodite because of the fact that her voice is a male and female's blended together, similar to Taya Soune; although unlike Taya, Ruko has voice banks for either genders. Ruko is more female than male, unlike Taya who is more male than female.

She seems to like coffee a lot, and is drowsy a lot of the time. ((due to the phrase "Yoku neru ko")) Her character items are pillows and a cup of coffee. Ruko also has a closet gambling habit. She likes being petted, and reacts like a cat.

Ruko has a good voice like this. Her 'official' site can be found here.

Defoko (デフォ子)
Defoko (デフォ子 Defoko) is the default voice data bank for UTAU. Her name literally means 'default child'. She has short, plum colored hair that comes close to her shoulders and matches her tie. Her voice is rather airy and robotic. Defoko is often referred to as "Dehuo" since some users take the name "Default (Child)" offensively. Although Defoko has clear and understandable pronunciations, it is hard to give her a natural sound, mainly because her voice is not human based. Defoko's personality is described as quiet and thoughtful, but at times can get rough (as in her treatment of Momo). A sample of her voice can be found here.

Other voices that have spawned from Defoko;


 * Imouto Defo (デフォ妹)
 * "Default Sister" voice data bank for UTAU. She is meant to be a younger version of Defoko, with even better pronunciations and a very childish voice. She is available for download on the UTAU official site just like Teto, Momo and Mako.


 * Defo Futoshi [Defota] (戴デフォ太)
 * Male default voice for Defoko, made with AquesTalk.

Suika Sora (穂歌ソラ)
Also knows as Suiga Sora. A male UTAUloid that has a robotic voice. His character item is curry soup (Sora is pictured with spoons and Ladles too). Although the kanji is not written this way, 'suika sora' sounds like 'flying watermelon'. Genderbending Sora's voice banks leads to him also having a female voice, Suika Sara (穂歌サラ).

Age: 19; Height: 175cm; Weight: 57kg; Desirable pitch range: D3~C#5; CV: Yuu; Illustrated by: Naruko

His voice is like this "ダブルラリアット Double Lariat"

Taya Soune (蒼音タヤ)
Taya is a somewhat rich-voiced UTAU with blue hair and a butler's uniform. Taya is a hermaphrodite, meaning it is both genders. Users have made Taya sing both high and low, and it seems to succeed in both octaves decently, but sounds best in between Alto 2 and Tenor 1 tone(s). Not many videos of Taya have been made, but a user has finally "released" Taya Soune to the world of YouTube. Even though Taya has a pleasant voice, its pronunciations are a bit difficult to understand without proper tweaking. Taya reflects a more masculine appearance than the other more well-known "hermaphrodite", Ruko.

Taya's last name, often read as "AONE/AOINE", is meant to be read as SOUNE meaning "blue sound."
 * Age: 16; Gender: Hermaphrodite (both); Signature Item: Strawberry [?-please clarify]; Height: 164cm; Weight: N/A.
 * If portrayed as a character: Taya is meant to act as a proper gentleman to others; it has a hatred of rude individuals, loves its eyepiece, and likes strawberries.

Momo Momone (桃音モモ)
Momo is the second voice for UTAU. Her voice is easier to control than Defoko. Even though human based, Momo still sounds airy and robotic, but not as much as Defoko; her voice sounds softer than her predecessor. When drawn she is seen to have shoulder length pink hair with white barrettes in her bangs and a white earphone set. She wears a green hat. Her outfit is seen to be a classic school uniform of green and white (white short sleeve shirt, green skirt, green collar) and a red necktie.

It is said that she is good friends with Defoko. However, sometimes she denies it, since Defoko goes rough on her at times. Her character item is a peach, since that is the meaning of "momo". Her voice is like this.

Mako Nagone (和音マコ)
Mako is also human based. Her voice comes from an amateur singer on NicoNico, and is easier to control, being more stable and human-like than the other two before her. She is not MOE. She is known to be the preferred UTAU for beginners. When drawn she is known to have light purple hair that is usually held in a pony tail. She wears a white headphone set with a giant white bow in her hair (like Rin Kagamine but bigger.)

Mako does not have an "official" outfit. Fan have been known to change her outfit in almost evey video- although the underlining "ninja" feel is a consistency with all of her appearances. One example consists of ninja style garb with a short netted shirt and white scarf, over which she wears a black robe with a giant red obi. Her arms are bandaged, mimicking VOCALOID arm gear.

Her voice is like this.

Isakund (イサクンッド)
Isakund is a UTAU confused with a Vocaloid Measure: 158 Weight: 62

Can be recognized by his glasses and his fanaticism for apples, has a voice a little sharp, and is also the alleged boyfriend of Miku Zatsune. He likes to play A Fish War VS Apples with Miku Zatsune, and is very easily upset when told to sing like Suika Sora.

Hitori Kanane (悲音 独り)
Her voice bank is still being actively developed, although she sounds a little bit airy. Her voice sounds like a young childs, and she has a wide range. She is shown to be 'cousins' with Hanashi Ayatsune, who is a ventrilouquist. Her name literally transates to: 'Alone Sad-Sound'. She is voiced my Sora Medina.

Luna Amane (天音ルナ)
Luna's voice is much less airy and robotic than the other UTAU vocaloids, and therefore she has an easier time pronouncing. She sings a lot of songs with Mako Nagone, suggesting that they are friends. Her clothing consists of bunny ears attached to her headphones, an orange tank top over a green sleeveless turtleneck shirt, and a fuchsia mini skirt with yellow trimming. She also wears black shoes, wristbands, and black bike shorts underneath her skirt. Luna's eyes are blue and her hair is blond and wavy. Luna could also be called Runa. Her substitute name is Tenne Luna. This picture is not how she looks but the voice is hers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Rzs-VQcE0

Nana Haruka (春歌ナナ)
A young looking and sounding UTAULOID. She is voiced by Nanahira. Her video was released to Youtube on January 30th, 2009.
