MEIKO

Meiko Sakine(咲音 メイコ), or Model K001-A  is Kiyoteru Hiyama's first completed Vocaloid and gynoid.

Her appearance was inspired by Kiyoteru's wife, Nanami Hiyama. She was originally voiced by xUNCOOLx, who also sang the first season's ending, Noise. Her first appearance was in Episode 1 of Season 1, titled Grey, (Also Episode 1 2.0 Return to Grey.) Being the first of her kind, Meiko is initially far more robotic then her predecessors, speaking formally and monotonously with occasional sassy remarks. That is changed, however, when she obtains her update in Episode 8, causing her to become more human-like in her appearance, speech and personality. Meiko assumes a motherly role within Kiyo's group, caring for each member of the team as if they are truly her family.

Episode 1-7 of Season 1
"'I am a bitch. Deal with it.'- Meiko Sakine to Toshiro Yamada" Meiko is the most robotic of Kiyo's gynoids in the beginning, evident by her monotonous and formal manner of speech for a majority of the first season. She is very machine-like in her acceptance of Kiyo's commands, and has no feelings. Starting with Episode 3 onward, however, Meiko begins to develop an attitude, earning her the nickname "Sass-master" by some of the cast. She even goes on to begin having some basic emotions, such as guilt, anger and sadness.

Episode 8-(current)
After receiving an update, Meiko gains her very own personality. She becomes the mother figure of the group, treating the younger Vocaloids, such as the Kagamines and Miku, like her own children. She also begins to care deeply for Kiyo's well-being, constantly worrying about him not sleeping or staying up too late to work on projects. She develops an even bigger, no-nonsense attitude, and is the sassiest character in the Shion realm to date.

Appearance Episode 1-7
Like Nanami, she has brown hair but in a lighter shade and shorter and has a rather large chest. She wears a light red skirt that is above her knees, a light red top that shows only covers her chest, brown heel boots, red and white gloves and a head set like the other Gynoids.
