One of the biggest names in Japanese entertainment, Hatsune Miku, has been brought to life by u/Cosmickittycos on Reddit, and the result is absolutely stunning. Hatsune Miku, a name known by more than just the anime community, was the very first Japanese Vocaloid to be developed and distributed by Crypton Future Media, Inc. Initially released in 2007, she was the very first member of the Character Vocal Series and the seventh Vocaloid overall.

Voiced by Japanese actress Saki Fujita, Miku now has three unique dubs, including English and Mandarin voicebanks, as of September 2017. Recently, on August 1st, 2024, it was announced that Miku would be receiving an update later in the year. This update would mark her return to Vocaloid following the numerous requests from creators and fans alike. Not only is the blue-haired Vocaloid popular in Japan, but her reach has extended far beyond the Western market. According to the official website, the Hatsune Miku Expo is:

“A world concert tour, organized by Crypton Future Media, that brings along a variety of sub-events (exhibitions, workshops, club events ...) where fans of all backgrounds can meet up and share various aspects of the creative culture surrounding Hatsune Miku.” - Miku Expo

This year, Miku takes on a world tour, visiting North America, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and, for her 10th Anniversary, the Magical Mirai 2024 in Fukuoka, Tokyo, and the Osaka Exhibition. As Miku continues to make headline after headline, u/Cosmickittycos couldn’t have chosen a better time to show off the stunning results of her Hatsune Miku cosplay.
