Vocaloid is a voice synthesizer software developed by the Yamaha Corporation which was first released in January 2004. Certain popular voice banks have animated personifications, the most popular of which being Crypton Future Media’s Hatsune Miku whose voice is based on voice actor Fujita Saki. The more popular voice banks have even had concerts, where their music is performed while a projection of their personification performs on stage.
