anon & kanon (杏音鳥音) are Japanese VOCALOIDs developed and distributed by the YAMAHA Corporation, and were released in March 2014 for the VOCALOID3 engine. Their voice providers have never been revealed.

Concept[]

Etymology[]

"" means "sound". The "" in anon's name means "apricot". Apricot is a sweet fruit, matching her more sweeter sounding vocal. The "" in kanon's name means "bird". The full meaning of the names of the pair are "apricot sound" and "bird sound".

Appearance[]

anon and kanon are identical twins but have differences in both physical appearances and personality. Like their vocals, the girls' outfits are similar, but not identical. Some details are mirrored or slightly altered. The largest difference applies to their facial expressions on the boxart, with kanon appearing perkier than her sister, anon.

They have play (▶) and stop button (■) symbols on their shoes. anon's has the play button on the left, while kanon's is on the right. kanon has long, grey/black boots, and short, black socks, which stop just below her knees, while anon has long, white, thigh-high stockings and short white boots. Their hair colours are almost identical: a "light reddish blond" (also known as "Apricot"). kanon has a mid-thigh length ponytail on the side of her head, which gradates to purple. anon has short hair cut close to her head with no gradation.

anon wears a white outfit and headset, while kanon wears a black outfit and headset. They both have microphones attached to their jackets, but on anon, it is on the left side of her jacket, while kanon has her's on the right. Their skirts are cut with one side being longer than the other. On anon, the long side is the right side of her skirt and on kanon it's on the left. They both have the same colored earrings, both purple eighth notes. anon's are small and dark-purple while kanon's are light-purple and slightly larger than her sister's.

They also have a binary code design on the inside of their jackets.
