Originally, Black★Rock Shooter was a character (she's the girl to the right with the black bikini and long twin tails) created by an artist known as ''huke'', among plenty of other material that he uploaded to his Website/{{Pixiv}} profile. One fateful day ''ryo'', leader of Music/{{Vocaloid}} synthesizer band ''Music/{{Supercell}}'', approached huke to create a song after having been inspired by his work, while also inviting him to join the creative team of the band. This way, the two collaborated on a music video, with huke making some small adjustments to Black★Rock Shooter's design and creating the version known today. Once uploaded on {{Nico Nico Douga}} in 2008, and soon after on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsFZxJigepg YouTube]], both the song (performed by Hatsune Miku) and character became a massive success (on the Internet anyway), and in 2009 it was announced that an anime would be made based on an original story created by huke.

* ''Anime/BlackRockShooter'' - An OVA produced by new animation studio Ordet (comprised of people who had left Creator/KyotoAnimation) that was released by stream in July 2010 and the {{noitaminA}} Winter2012Anime series of the same name, based on the OVA.

There's also a fanmade Tabletop Gaming system, [[https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0ByC2LFIujbrgOWQxNmZlYTMtNDBkMi00YzQxLWE5NmItMGM4MTgwNTgyYzFk&hl=en&authkey=CI6JgY8G Black Rock Universe]]; currently in its playable Alpha stage - they have an IRC chan on Rizon, [=#BlackRockUniverse=]. While it was abandoned, it is no longer abandoned; the authors have decided to pull it together and finish it off since it keeps coming up - stop by and chat or help out if you can.
