About HATSUNE MIKU (from Wikipedia):
******Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid software voicebank and its official mascot character, a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails, created by KEI. Miku's personification has been marketed as a virtual idol, and has performed at live virtual concerts onstage as an animated projection. The task of coming up with Miku's image went to the manga artist KEI GAROU.******
