Hatsune Miku is a personified figure for Yamaha’s voice synthesizer software Vocaloid. Based on the second iteration of the software, Miku was developed by Crypton Future Media and features samples from Japanese singer Saki Fujita. Hatsune Miku debuted in 2007 and became the highest selling software of all time on Amazon Japan. She has made the Vocaloid software suite more popular and appealing to wider audiences and has become a cultural phenomenon. Since her introduction, future releases of the Vocaloid software are also marketed with personas. Many songs have been created by online users as well as professional music creators, such as Super Cell.
