Let’s jump into our list of all the Project Sekai characters.
Virtual Singer
Hatsune Miku
Miku is the most well-known of the Virtual Singers. Her cheerful voice and blue twintails are so iconic that even if you don’t know Vocaloid, you probably know Hatsune Miku. In Project Sekai, Miku and the other Virtual Singers live in another world called Sekai, and appear to humans to help them understand their feelings through music. Miku can be found in all five Sekais with varying personalities and outfits to match the vibe of the Sekai.
Kaito
Kaito is a Virtual Singer that often takes on an older brother role in Sekai. He first appeared in the Wonderland Sekai as the troupe leader to help Tsukasa and the rest of Wonderlands X Showtime.

Meiko is a Virtual Singer who is known for being caring, patient, and somewhat motherly. She first appeared in Street Sekai, where she runs a cafe called ‘Crase Cafe’. She advises Kohane and the rest of Vivid Bad Squad.
Kagamine Rin
Rin is a Virtual Singer known for performing alongside her counterpart Len. She’s cute and energetic, filling the younger sister role in Sekai. She first appeared in Stage Sekai as an idol alongside Miku, who she looks up to in every way.
Kagamine Len
Len is a Virtual Singer known for performing alongside his counterpart Rin. His personality is similar to Rin’s, which is possibly why they bicker so much! He first appeared in Street Sekai as DJ Len to assist Miku and Meiko in running the cafe.
Megurine Luka
Luka is a bilingual Virtual Singer who appears in School Sekai as Miku’s bandmate and senpai. She plays the bass normally but can play all instruments. She appeared to help the girls of Leo/need reconcile their friendship.

Shiho is Leo/need’s stern-faced bassist. She works part-time at a live house, sometimes subbing in for other bassists in professional bands. She dreams of going pro, which is why she was reluctant to join the band until she was sure the girls were committed to her dream.
Mochizuki Honami
Honami is Leo/need’s drummer and final member. She’s shy and conflict-averse, prone to pleasing people to avoid being picked on. Her fear to reconnect with Shiho in high school is a big part of the girls drifting apart, but the power of friendship brought them back together.
