Meiko is a Vocaloid DTM (Desktop Music) software created by Crypton Future Media.She utilizes the older Vocaloid engine, the predecessor for Vocaloid2. Her voice is based on Japanese female singer Meiko Haigo's voice, which is steady, straightforward, and suitable for any musical genre. She is fit to sing anything from pop, rock, jazz, and R & B to children's songs.

Crypton placed this product on the market with cover printed an anime-like girl. This character had nothing to do with the singer, but the girl brought the accessible image and the software sold well. This success of marketing strategy led to Character Vocaloid Series, Vocaloid2.

Meiko and Kaito are often referred as "Nenchou-gumi" (年長組, The Seniors) compared to Vocaloid2s.
