Nekomura Iroha

Etymology
"Iroha" is the old Japanese variant of "ABC" (as seen in the Japanese iroha poem) and "I, Ro, Ha" means "A(La), B(Si), C(Do)" of seven-note scale. [3] "Nekomura", her surname, means "Cat Village".

Appearance
She is illustrated by okama, a Japanese manga artist and illustrator.
The speakers enasing her hands are called Dynamic-Phonon Busters. The other set of speakers are called Chorus-speakers. Each of these move around, supporting her. The floating microphone collects her voice and Announce Booth, which is on her head, works as an amplifier and divides the sound into three classes for the speakers, according to its range; the sound for tweeters, mid-range speakers and woofers.[5]
Iroha is canonically a "Kittyler", someone who loves the Sanrio character Hello Kitty. She joined the "Hello Kitty to Issho!" project in early August, 2010.[6][7] According to her official profile on the Hello Kitty to Issho! page, she is interested in Hello Kitty and wants to become a "Platinum Kitty"[8]. Also a story about how she became a Kittyler was included.

She was originally designed by Sanrio for Comiket (Comic Market) in 2009.[9] Iroha was released as a part of a promotional tie-in with a VOCALOID x Hello Kitty promotion.

A CD was released with two songs ("Tsubasa" and "ABBEY FLY") featuring her, along with VSQ files. She owes much of her early use to being supplied as a trial version. The offer for the free trial ended on September 30th, 2010.[10]

Until May 2011, all AH-Software VOCALOIDs were banned from KARENT. However, because of the joint ownership over her copyright with Sanrio she remained forbidden after this date until January 2012.
