Kaito Shion ( 海斗 かいと) is a Japanese Vocaloid released in February 2006 for the first Vocaloid engine, developed and distributed by Crypton Future Media inc. There has since been a second installment developed for the Vocaloid3 engine and dubbed Kaito V3. His voice is provided by the Japanese male singer, Naoto Fuga (風雅 なおと).
Appearance
The illustration was done by Takashi Kawasaki. Crypton did not set his character and profile except for his package design. As well as Meiko , he was not made with the aim of giving character or personality to vocal synthesis software. This was empathized during the development also of the V3 vocal banks, with Wat stating how different the intention of the CV series was to the intention of Kaito / Meiko. This led to the updates leading a totally different course of development, in comparison to the Appends of Miku, Len, Rin and Luka.
Kaito's muffler has become one of his more iconic items. During his V3 update there was fan outcry over the idea of it being made transparent, in answer to this Crypton stated that cloth can be made out of anything, including plastic: there was a lot more freedom than many realized with it.
Kaito has no official given age. However, in Marker Hikoshiki Hatsune Mix he is usually portrayed as a middle aged man by Kei, however what the artist depicts in the comic is not official, as he mentioned in a magazine interview. Because of the story of his rediscovery in 2008, Kaito was often depicted with ice cream. This gave birth to the "Item War" Internet Meme tradition.
