KAITO is a Vocaloid DTM (Desktop Music) software created by Crypton Future Media. He utilizes the older Vocaloid engine, the predecessor for Vocaloid2. The voice was supplied by Naoto Fuga and the name “KAITO” was selected from among applicants. He is fit to sing anything from hymns and children's songs to R & B and pop, though the style that he is best used for is singing pop ballads.
Kaito sold only 500 packages in the initial distribution and Crypton deemed it as a failure. After Miku Hatsune was released, however, Kaito was revaluated and now many users prefer him with his forceful, strong voice.
Kaito and Meiko are often referred as "Nenchou-gumi" (年長組, The Seniors) compared to Vocaloid2s.

[edit] Notable KAITO songs
[edit] 卑怯戦隊うろたんだー / Hikyō Sentai Urotandar (Coward Fighters Urotandar)
Music and lyrics by Shin-P
[edit] 千年の独奏歌 / Sen'nen no Dokusouka (Millennium Aria)
Music and lyrics by yanagi-P
[edit] カンタレラ / Cantarella
Music and lyrics by Kurousa-P
A man (Kaito) tries to keep his love for a girl (Miku) hidden from her, thinking she might not feel the same, so he decides to rape her (and possibly get her pregnant) in order to make the girl his. The man invites the girl for a glass of wine, putting a drug, "Cantarella", into her drink. The girl faints and the man picks her up and takes to a bedroom. As he lays her down, he begins to remember the time they had met. He then realizes that everything he did was a mistake and begins to cry. The girl, who was unconscious (or faking unconsciousness), sits up and pushes the man down. He then realizes that she had always loved him, and the two kiss. (Other versions of the PV show Miku stabbing Kaito in retaliation.)
There is also a popular version with Len and Rin Kagamine.
[edit] 白虎野の娘 / Byakkoya no Musume (Daughter in White Tiger Field)
Originally a theme song for anime Paprika. Interesting enough, the original song by Susumu Hirasawa has female vocals of Vocaloid Meiko which are heard in several songs of the movies soundtrack.
[edit] アナザー：ワールドイズマイン / Another: World Is Mine
Music by ryo, lyric by Anima
The prince version of Miku Hatsune's World is Mine. Kaito sings about having an infatuation with a girl (Miku) who rejects him even though he is willing to treat her like a princess.

According to the package design, KAITO often wears a white coat and a blue muffler.Crypton Future Media did not set his character and profile except his package design, as well as MEIKO, for not having a concept of giving a certain character to an synthesizer application software[2][3]. It was carried over to the following vocaloids to encourage creative activities by free individuals and expanding the characters based on each user's individual needs[4][5][6]. Though his character and profile can be vary from person to person and fans have no common settings yet, as a fanmade character, he is occasionally regarded as the older brother figure for the entire Vocaloid group or the lover of other vocaloids' in some songs.
[edit] The Story of KAITO's Character Item
On September 16th, 2007, Tatsunami uploaded the song A Request From Hatsune Miku. During this time, Miku was extremely popular on NicoNicoDouga, yet almost nobody knew of KAITO let alone produced songs using him. The video begins with the words "please sometimes recall [KAITO]," as well as Miku saying "where are you and what are you doing now?" which is from the song Dear You.
About four hours later, An Answer To Hatsune Miku was posted by Ice-P. In this video, KAITO responds with, "yes? I was eating an ice cream," and then proceeds to sing a cover of The Ice Cream Song (originally by Fusako Anachi in 1991). KAITO's last dialogue in this video is "Miku, let's eat it together next time." It just so happened that Ice-P was producing the cover when he saw Tatsunami's original song.
This series of events firmly established ice cream as KAITO's character item.
