Arsloid (アルスロイド), is a Vocaloid 4 vocal synthesizer. The sampled voice was Kano Akira, a member of the Japanese odorite group Arsmagna.
On 16 June 2015 it was revealed that Akira Kano would be made into a Vocaloid. Artwork and a demo was also released. The company stated they were unsure whether the voicebank would be released commercially.[1]
It was later revealed on July 30 that it would be available for a public release. From July 30 to August 13, customers were able to pre-order and reserve the physical starter pack, but the download version would follow a normal release. It was released on September 23.[2] He was shown to come with three voicebanks, and be capable of cross-Synthesis. The two "Extension Libraries" are "soft" and "bright".[3]
In his character biography, his personality is described: 'He has a strong sense of duty, and is bright and lively. He is quick to get in a fight, and always has fresh wounds. He has good reflexes and is a popular person who never runs out of requests from different clubs asking for support, starting with his specialty – basketball. On the other hand, he also has an awkward and easily lonely side. He occasionally gets hurt from pranks which don't have bad intentions.'[4]
His design is based on the school uniform the 2D idol group wears, from the fictional 'Chronos Senior High School'.[5]
