* VocalDissonance: In one of the few instances where Miku isn't voiced by her own voice bank, she is voiced by her voice provider, Creator/SakiFujita, in ''Project DIVA extend''. Most voice providers sound almost nothing like the Vocaloids that their voices are used to create, and indeed, Miku sounds much more natural and lower pitched than usual.

Since 2007, Miku has grown out from her origins as a synthesizer program: more than any other Vocaloid, she's done ads, interviews, collaborations, videos, and her ever-changing status makes her one of the frontrunners of the virtual age. She's become a quasi-mascot for her hometown of Sapporo, featured prominently in advertising campaigns. The most well-known being the "Snow Miku Festival", a long-running collaboration with Sapporo's annual Snow Festival featuring her and other Crypton mainstays. She's also got the distinction of holding several well known concerts in her name, starting with 2012's Miku Party, the international Hatsune Miku Expo, and even the Miku Symphony, amongst her regular appearances in other concerts like Nico Nico Cho Party.

to:
! Tropes Associated with Hatsune Miku:Miku:
* ActionGirl: She's the second strongest character in ''Synchronicity,'' second only to the dragon she's forced to serve. There are also two videos that show how badass she is...
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXsrRLT2ijs This one]](also with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XOMKuU_Ie8 slow motion]]), and
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wcNUlvR6fU This one]]. It seems to rely on suggestive angles a few times. Besides, after her one moment of klutziness, she [[PrehensileHair pulls off an even more Badass trick]].
* ACupAngst: Most notably in one [=PV=] of "World is Mine" where she slaps her love interest with a leek for commenting on her breasts.
* AntiGravityClothing: Her square ribbons are stated to hold her hair in place without physically touching it. This is averted in her [=V4X=] design.
* AlternateCharacterReading: The name "Miku" is a pun based on the fact that the kanji can also be read as ''mirai'', or "future."
* ArcNumber: 39 (mi-ku). Her concert is 39's Giving Day (March 9), and her Facebook page needed 39,390 likes for her to get an English bank. [[BilingualBonus Entertainingly]], '3-9' can also be read as 'san-kyu', or 'thank you'.
* ArtificialHuman: In ''Test Tube Princess''.
* BadFuture: According to her "official" character concept, Miku hails from one where all music has been lost.
* BareYourMidriff: Her new [[WordOfGod official]] "American" [[http://piapro.jp/static/?view=sf_japantown_result design]].
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted in "Rolling Girl"--Miku's face gets increasingly more bruised and bloodied throughout the PV and it's as unsightly and pitiful as you'd expect it to be.
* BerserkButton: Do not [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6E03UBP6Rs&feature=related touch]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNlsr9yhYN8 Miku's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbFSydczLCs panties.]] It ''never'' ends well. Same applies to her leek.
** According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZjOydc-NO0 Toyota]], messing with her face will earn her wrath.
** [[Music/{{UTAU}} Sukone Tei]], if [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil stealing "[=Declare War On All Vocaloid=]" from Tei means anything.]]
* BilingualBonus: Her English voicebank, though only played straight with her V3 bundled package available since September 26, 2013 (the English voicebank which came out earlier can be purchased separately like Megpoid English).
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In ''Synchronicity.'' [[spoiler: Len frees her of the mask that made her like this in the second song of the three-part series.]]
** Also this way in ''Festival of Asylum''.
* BreakoutCharacter: Probably the most famous Vocaloid of them all; even many people who don't know about Vocaloid are dimly aware of who she is.
* CharacterCelebrityEndorsement: She starred in a series of Toyota [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E15PE7iGT0U Corolla commercials]] (for the USA), as a result of Toyota being the main sponsor of her live concert at Anime Expo 2011 in Los Angeles. It happened again with Lux shampoo when the company sponsored the 2016 Hatsune Miku Symphony.
* TheChosenOne: Pretty much this in ''Project DIVA X''. It's up to her and the player to restore the world of music. Everyone else? Nah.
* ChromaticArrangement: Whether it was intentional is debatable, but the first three Vocaloids were released in the classic order - red (Meiko), blue (Kaito), and green (Miku).
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvwGLr54h3o&feature=related For example...]]
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: She wears one in the ''Project DIVA'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0EtICId6mI video]] for ''Cantarella.''
* {{Determinator}}: In the 3D PV of ''Hello, Planet,'' she doesn't let little things like her arm falling off from journeying across the devastated post-apocalyptic world to find her master.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Her Append appearance has her barefoot.
* TheDragon: Both literally and in terms of the trope, but trapped in human form, in ''Synchronicity.''
* GenkiGirl: Her portrayal in ''Project DIVA 2nd''.
* GirlishPigtails: [[RapunzelHair All the way to the ground!]]
* GrandRomanticGesture: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8VliGjILzs 1/6]]'', in which she helps her depressed boyfriend by taking him up to a huge tower so that he can feel "elevated".
-->'''Miku:''' ''The sun gives its light''
-->''To let the moon glow''
-->''Can you let me help you like them?''
* HotterAndSexier: Her Append boxart has been accused of being oversexualized.
** Her English voicebank design looks like an older, more adult version of her, including slightly [[FanServicePack larger breasts]], and more [[TsurimeEyes piercing looking eyes]]. [[http://piapro.net/vocaloid/mikuv3e.html Behold.]]
* IconicOutfit: Over all of the design variations that she's gone through, the one outfit that's held up is her original V2 design.
* JackOfAllTrades: As of her Append upgrade; her six extra voicebanks theoretically should give her the proper tonal qualities to produce most kinds of music now. Append was created in response to user complaints that Miku's voice was too cute and cheery for some of the songs people wanted to make with her.
* LeotardOfPower: Her Append design is made of this. Would've been taken more literally if she had a Power voicebank.
* {{Mascot}}: Crypton uses her a lot to promote themselves.
* MeaningfulName: 'Hatsune' means 'first sound'; Miku was the first Japanese [=Vocaloid2=] character to be produced.
** Her full name means "First sound of the future."
* MulticoloredHair: Her English voicebank design sports varying shades of neon colors on her hair, from dark green to lime, and even purple.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: She's actually a dragon trapped in human form and forced to ensure that no-one interferes with the process of offering girls to die to appease the ''other'' and even ''stronger'' dragon in ''Synchronicity.''
* PsychoLesbian: To Gumi in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BgoVbRXvJw Escape The Princess]].
* RapunzelHair: It goes all the way down to her ankles for crying out loud!
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Towards [[Music/{{UTAU}} Tei]] in the [[{{Irony}} first song Tei made]].
* SailorFuku: "[=Ha2ne=] Miku", a non-idol version of Miku, is often her default outfit in the ''DIVA'' series. This was retired by ''F'', which moved out of the school setting.
* LazyBum: In a good number of her more humorous songs she talks about how she can't stay awake or complains about working (''Triple Baka'', ''Take It Easy'' and ''World is Mine'' come to mind).
** She also sings Sloth's song in Mothy's [[Franchise/EvilliousChronicles Seven Deadly Sins series]].
* {{Smark}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW5WtItM0vg BE MIKU]] got her labeled as one.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: She's one of the most popular out of all the Vocaloids, to the point that some people don't realize other Vocaloids exist.
** Many of the others have similar levels of popularity...within the fandom. Non-fans usually only know about Miku. Crypton's mascotization of Miku doesn't help; they have, for example, 40 different collectible Vocaloid phone charms, ''29 of which are Mikus''. Vocaloid concerts also tend to be about 3/4ths Miku and 1/4th everyone else.
** There's a reason the ''VideoGame/HatsuneMikuProjectDIVA'' series has her name plastered on it. Around 60% to 70% of the songs in every game are Miku songs or feature Miku in some capacity. The other five featured Vocaloids ''combined'' get ''far'' less representation than her. For example, in ''F'', out of the [[ArcNumber 39]] playable songs, only ''12'' didn't have Miku in them.
*** It's even worse in ''X'', where she's in all but three of the thirty-two available songs.
* {{Stripperific}}: Her "[[PitGirls Racing Queen]]" design by Goodsmile Racing for the Sepang GT race in Malaysia on 2013 as reported [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/06/08/new-racing-miku-art-gets-racy here]].
* TheCameo: Miku (singing ''World is Mine'') appears in [[VideoGame/TheIdolmaster The iDOLM@STER 2]] for the [=PS3=] as a priced DLC opponent for the game's [[CookingDuel Festival]] stages. Furthermore, she has an alternate download pack which gives her the Miku Append outfit and an alternate song (''Melt'').
** She was a DLC character in ''VideoGame/Persona4DancingAllNight'', likely due to the fact that Creator/{{Sega}} owns both the ''[[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona Persona]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/HatsuneMikuProjectDiva Project Diva]]'' series.
* TheRival: To Tei Sukone. [[EvilVersusEvil And with good reason.]]
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Usually portrayed as the GirlyGirl to Rin's (or sometimes Meiko's) {{tomboy}}.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Negi/Leek. It came from her cover of the Ievan Polka, in which she discredited the Leekspin meme from [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Orihime]] and made it her own. Along with the leeks she also has a fondness for bacon wrapped hotdogs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIxI1eB2-vo&feature=relmfu according to the Toyota ads]].
* UpdatedRerelease: Miku Append, where she received an update that consisted of six new voicebanks: Soft, Sweet, Dark, Vivid, Solid, and Light. All of which reflect her moods and gives her more vocal range.
** Her V3 Japanese voicebanks, which are all updates of her original V2 voicebanks, available since September 26, 2013.
** Her [=Vocaloid4X=] voicebanks, made to address the issues with the V3 banks, available since August 31, 2016.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Deconstructed in "Alice of Human Sacrifice", where her beauty leads to her becoming an incredibly vain queen and fearing what would happen if she grows old. The song never gives specifics as to what happens to her next, but most [=PVs=] have interpreted her as going completely insane.
* {{Tsundere}}: During "World of Mine" where she is a type A; bitchy and lovesick at the same time but mellowing to the later at the end of the song.
* UndyingLoyalty: To [[Music/{{Supercell}} ryo]] in "ODDS&ENDS".
* {{Yandere}}: Most notably in the song ''ACUTE,'' but if she's in a scenario where she loves KAITO and she gets rejected in favor of someone else, there will be pain.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FvRKOfqoc8 Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance]]'' is another example.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: However, it may [[HairColorDissonance alternate between different shades]] of [[UsefulNotes/GreenIsBlue green and blue]]. The most often-agreed on color is cyan.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Wearing thigh high boots. Rank A; can qualify for Rank S (with {{Tsundere}} added) depending on depictions.
* ActionGirl: She's the second strongest character in ''Synchronicity,'' second only to the dragon she's forced to serve. There are also two videos that show how badass she is...

** Her V3 Japanese voicebanks, which are all updates of her original V2 voicebanks, available since September 26, 2013.
** Her [=Vocaloid4X=] voicebanks, made to address the issues with the V3 banks, available since August 31, 2016.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Deconstructed in "Alice of Human Sacrifice", where her beauty leads to her becoming an incredibly vain queen and fearing what would happen if she grows old. The song never gives specifics as to what happens to her next, but most [=PVs=] have interpreted her as going completely insane.
* {{Tsundere}}: During "World of Mine" where she is a type A; bitchy and lovesick at the same time but mellowing to the later at the end of the song.
* UndyingLoyalty: To [[Music/{{Supercell}} ryo]] in "ODDS&ENDS".
* {{Yandere}}: Most notably in the song ''ACUTE,'' but if she's in a scenario where she loves KAITO and she gets rejected in favor of someone else, there will be pain.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FvRKOfqoc8 Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance]]'' is another example.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: However, it may [[HairColorDissonance alternate between different shades]] of [[UsefulNotes/GreenIsBlue green and blue]]. The most often-agreed on color is cyan.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Wearing thigh high boots. Rank A; can qualify for Rank S (with {{Tsundere}} added) depending on depictions.

Originally released as a Music/{{Vocaloid}} program in Crypton Future Media's "Character Vocal" series, Hatsune Miku set a lot of milestones for the software: not only was she the first Japanese vocal for the [=VOCALOID2=] engine, she also was the first to have a real avatar (Most of the English banks of the day used stock photos, Kaito and Meiko's initial character designs were more decorative, and while Sweet Ann did have a themed avatar, it wasn't fully incorporated into the voice bank), the first to be marketed as a "character"'s voice rather than a replication, and the first to have any kind of story attached to her. Her bio stated she was an android that came from a future with no music, and she wanted to spread her love of song to the world to keep that future from happening.
