Kagamine Rin & Len (鏡音リン・レン?) are humanoid personas voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by Crypton Future Media, headquartered in Sapporo, Japan. They use Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 2 and Vocaloid 4 singing synthesizing technology. Their voices are sampled by Asami Shimoda. They have performed at live concerts onstage as animated projections.
Len and Rin are twins. Their names are derived from the concept of 'left' and 'right', like on earphones. Their surnames came from the Japanese words for mirror (鏡 kagami?) and sound (音 ne?).
Rin & Len were developed by Crypton Future Media using Yamaha's Vocaloid 2. Their voices were created by taking vocal samples from voice actress Asami Shimoda at a controlled pitch and tone. They were the second release within the "Character vocal series," which included the vocals Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka. Len was the first of the Kagamines to be illustrated and Rin was made to match him, following Crypton's concept.
