Is that >the most annoying name for a company or what? > >Megpoid, and its mascot character GUMI (written in all caps in >the official bumf, much like KAITO and MEIKO, come to that), are so >called because the source of the original voice samples is Japanese >actress Megumi Nakajima; the name literally breaks down to something >like "a Megumi-like Vocaloid". (Amusingly, the "poi" in >Megpoid is the same as the "poi" in Yuudachi.) I only just realized that this means Megapoid is Ranka Lee... go figure. edit:spelling/typing
