vocaloid

Kaito is a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by Crypton Future Media, headquartered inSapporo, Japan. They use Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid singing synthesizer technology. His voice is sampled by Naoto Fūga. He has performed at live concerts onstage as an animated projection. Many songs have been made with him.

The product's name was invited to be chosen by the public, and "Kaito" was selected from among the applicants, which was Vocaloid producer Shu-tP's offered idea.One of the reasons why his name "Kaito" was selected was because it would be easy for non-Japanese speakers to pronounce, and it looked fitting with the name "Meiko" when they were put next to one another.Kaito's codename was "Taro";it likely came from "Yamada Tarō", a placeholder name for male characters and the Japanese equivalent to "John Smith".
