Hachune Miku (はちゅねミク?) is a character in the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series. She is a derivative character based on Hatsune Miku which has been officially recognised by Sega and Crypton Future Media and has been licensed into the games.

Appearance[]

Hachune Miku's apppearance and attire is similar to that of the real Hatsune Miku with her notable differences include her doll-ragged eyes.

Background[]

Hachune Miku was created by Otomania and Tamago when the VOCALOID arrangement of the Finnish folk song "Ievan Polkka" was uploaded to Niconico on September 2007 and was established via Hatsune Miku's version of the Loituma Girl internet meme, eventually going on to becoming its own character. Hachune Miku is acknowledged as one of the first mascots to gain popularity within the VOCALOID fandom.

She is regarded as a silent mascot by the fandom. In music videos and songs that have a singing voice in them, the voice is more of a representation of Hatsune Miku, rather than her actual voice. However, her voice can be heard in the vocal version of the opening for Project DIVA 2nd and Project DIVA Extend.

The character was responsible for the start of the "Item War" system in which VOCALOID fans assigned a character with a particular item, with Hatsune Miku's "associated item" being a Welsh/green/spring onion (which many interpreted as a leek).

Game appearances[]

Hachune Miku makes minor appearances in the game series such as their opening videos and even in some of the song PVs, although she is most notable for appearing in the Tutorial that teaches the player basic gameplay of the series. In Project DIVA X, if the player clears the Chance Time sequence in the Tutorial, she holds two leeks and wears cat ears; as akin to the Module Drop mechanic. She is also a playable character in some of the playable mini-games in the game's credits. Hachune also makes numerous cameos as a Room Item that the player can place in a character's DIVA Room and as a Back Accessory the player can put on a character.
