0Kasane Teto (重音テト) is a globally recognized Japanese virtual singer and vocal synthesizer mascot. Often referred to as the "diva born from a hoax," she has one of the most famous community-driven histories in the entire vocal synthesizer fandom. Her voice database is provided by Japanese singer-songwriter and illustrator Oyamano Mayo.

Origins: The April Fools' Hoax (2008)Teto was created on April 1, 2008, by users of the Japanese internet textboard 2channel. Modeled as a parody of Hatsune Miku, she was intentionally presented as a "new official Vocaloid release" from Crypton Future Media to prank unsuspecting fans. Users designed her appearance, concocted an absurd character profile, and recorded a placeholder voice line to fool people.

Instead of letting the prank die, fans coded her vocals into UTAU—a free, user-driven alternative to the commercial Vocaloid software—making her the absolute mascot of the UTAU software for over a decade.

Software EvolutionUTAU Era (2008): Her original voicebank was released on the free UTAU engine. Despite not being an official Vocaloid, she became so popular that SEGA and Crypton included her as DLC in official Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA rhythm games and featured her in Miku Expo concerts.
