Kaai Yuki (歌愛ユキ) was a fictional character from the Vocaloid character series by AH-Software Co. Ltd. She is a student, with Hiyama Kiyoteru as the teacher from the same series. Her voice provider is unrevealed.
Vocaloids[]
A vocaloid is a synthesizer program where someone records some specific parts of their voice, and the program makes it so that the user can make words from the voice samples. Therefore, a user can make songs after pitching the sounds. The character is a representative of the voice, and many music producers who use Yuki's voice use her character too, although that is not always the case.
Here is a video showing the worldwide influence of vocaloids, made by Google.
Release[]
She was first released on December 4th 2009 as part of the AH-Software vocaloids (V2). However, her and two other early vocaloids from the series were among the least popular of all the vocaloids at first.
However, she slowly gained popularity in later years, and she is recently making a comeback with a few well-known producers, such as Sohta, Nakiso and Inabakumori.
Etymology[]
Her forename "Yuki" could be written as ユキ or 雪, which means "snow". Her surname "Kaai" can be written as 歌愛 in kanji (歌 means "song" and 愛 means "love").
Appearance[]
Her appearance was made to look like a grade-schooler, since her voice provider was provided by a fourth-grade girl at the time. She has twin black pigtails that are held together by two yellow baubles, and she has a slightly unruly fringe. She is "as tall as 10 big apples" and "as heavy as 86 apples".
Her outfit consists of a frilly white top with a pink puffy short-sleeved coat. Her skirt hangs above her knees, and it is the same pink as her coat. It is puffy and has white frills at the hem. She also has white knee-high socks and dark red mary-janes.
She has a red randoseru on her back, which is a motif of YAMAHA's WX5 wind controller.
