In 2007, Crypton requested him to draw an illustration for their first Character Vocal Series product Hatsune Miku. Crypton also provided KEI his detailed concepts, however, Crypton says it was not easy to explain what a "Vocaloid" was like to him, and KEI says he could not create an image of "singing computer" at first, as he did not even know what a "synthesizer" was. It took him more than a month. His illustration supported the sale of this software and sparked the Vocaloid trend. His fame led to the following works of Kagamines, Luka and Lily. He also designed Galaco .
Because of his illustrations for Vocaloid, his style is being emulated in the western fandom, notably in deviantArt.

Alvin LeeEdit
| Alvin Lee is an Asian-Canadian comic book artist and illustrator known for his manga-styled art, he was commissioned in 2011 to create an image of Hatsune Miku posing with a black Toyota Corolla for the month of May. He has worked for many years with UDON Entertainment before he left mid-2007, and has worked with Marvel since.
For his work on the Corolla + Miku campaign, Lee stayed close to what the client ordered, however he was free to be creative. Hatsune Miku had to be drawn to look a bit more mature as opposed to Japan in order to cater towards an international market. Lee worked to find a middle ground where she would look anime but still digestible to the everyday viewer. The image on the main page has Miku in a known pose by Japanese artists Tony Taka, which Lee states that the client really liked and wanted him to imitate the pose, even though he drew other variations the final pose won in the end. Lee sees it as homage or a remix to the original. When it comes to Miku's attire there is a slight difference from KEI, instead of one skirt stripe and single floating ribbons, she now has two, as intended by the client. The angel wing Miku is available as a press release from Toyota in the May issue of Koream, Hyphen. The idea for the wings was inspired by the production seen during MikuPa 2011, where wings spread from Miku's back as she sings "Hatsune Miku no Gekishou" (初音ミクの激唱) by cosMoP. Both images are digitally colored by a different artist known as DOE (aka Man They Call Doe), another Canadian artist who is friends with Lee.
