I love OC MVs and a lot of my work uses them, both covers and originals, because I have a lot of OCs. I like a lot of OC songs, like Handi Capper, Living Ghost is Alive, Splitter Girl, and Rotary Dial
No.15079
I like the OCs but prefer it when they make a variant of an existing character for the music video. PinocchioP does this a lot. Though sometimes he does use non-Miku OCs like in Reincarnation Apple.

I've been wondering for a while. What if one of these artists took advantage of the popularity of their OCs and turned them into actual voicebanks?. Cause characters like Nukunuku's Osage-chan have an entire subfandom within the Vocaloid fandom.

A lot of VocaP's are not very creative with OC names so they usually name their characters after the songs. Iyowa is the biggest example because Nouten Nozomi is probably the only character NOT named after one of his songs.

For example MV characters are pretty big in Japan and you'll find entire accounts dedicated to drawing them, with the Iyowa Girls being the most popular 'subfandom', and if you dare call Kurari-chan "KAFU" or Osage-chan "Kaai Yuki" they'll skin you alive.

For anyone interested we are working on a database website dedicated entirely to MV characters. We've been silently working on this for years but its finally in a state where i can make the link public and say "go and contribute".
If you have info about a MV character you like you can go and submit it here, it is a wiki after all. Just make sure you follow the guidelines and character information is sourced.

That being said, as the main contributor, i haven't made a LTR article yet because she doesn't have a name and her creator's response to "who is she" questions wasn't "oh she's my oc called blah blah" but rather something along the lines of "it could be miku on a bad day but ultimately its up to people's interpretation". Japan refers to her as Puzaru-chan or Puzacchi while the west mostly refers to her as LTR Miku. And if it really is Miku we don't need an article on her.
