VY2

Etymology
"VY2" means "VOCALOID YAMAHA 2".[2]
The code name used for the original VY2 package, 勇馬 ("Yūma"; Yuuma), means "Brave Horse".

Appearance
Nagimiso (なぎみそ) and Kazeno (風乃) undertook the illustration for VY2's package. The Wakizashi was by Nagimiso, the illustration on the inside sleeve was by Kazeno, which was Japanese and SF styled with Tenshukaku (天守閣, Japanese castle tower) and two moons.
Unlike past Japanese VOCALOIDs, VY2, along with voicebank partner VY1, have never had an official avatar established for them, which allowed for creative freedom that other VOCALOIDs did not offer.
VY2 was originally going to have other items for his boxart such as clothing. However, it was felt that these items were too personal and would only end up portraying too much of a design concept. Thus, opting for the Wakizashi made the VOCALOID's appearance ambiguous.
Despite the wining entry of VesFes "Roro" being commonly used as an avatar for VY2, this was never picked as an official representation of the software, though it has been used as a concept in an illustration book to represent the vocal "VY2".

Relations
   VY1; a complementary voice bank with feminine vocals.

While VY1 had a standard and Deluxe edition, VY2 did not offer such a choice nor did it have a CD released for it.

Due to the professional design of VY2, the vocal often appears in use for apps and equipment that involves derivative products produced by Yamaha, either on its own or with VY1. However, unlike VY1, VY2 is often added as an additional vocal or an alternative one and has yet to head a product using their vocals. Furthermore, when VY2 is used, the vocal often is only made for download – sometimes after the initial release of the product, unlike its counterpart VY1.
