yowane haku

Yowane Haku is an original Vocaloid character originated from a 2channel thread where a user commented: "I bought Hatsune Miku for her cute looks but no matter how hard I try, I can't get anything better than mechanical sounding songs out of her."

An artist (Caffein) took this idea and ran with it to create Yowane Haku, an alter ego of all unskilled users of Hatsune Miku. Haku is a sad Vocaloid who just can't sing as well as Miku. She is always crying because of this and vents her frustration by drinking. Her image colors are silver and purple. Her character item is a sake bottle. She's also noted for her curvier figure compared to Miku and has a decent following. Haku's name means "speaking weak words" ('speaking' here has connotation of a pent-up sigh or muttering.)

This created a trend of users labeling badly-made Vocaloid songs with voyakiloid, or "shouting vocaloid." It is implied that it was Haku who sung those songs, and not Miku. Later on, she received several fan-made MMD models and being treated as a "genuine" character rather than a byword for bad Vocaloid songs.

She has long grey hair (sometimes depicted as white) tied in a ponytail, and sidelocks. Her usual attire consists of a cropped sleeveless collared grey shirt with a purple necktie, black detached sleeves with purple trims, black pants held up with a purple belt, white boots with a purple soles, and a striped hair bow.
