亞北ネル 亚北音留
Akita Neru is a [[Vocaloid]] Derivative. Her name ([b]亞北ネル[/b] - [i]Akita. Neru[/i]), in phonetic reading, sounds like "I quit. Going to sleep."

She started out as a meme on 2channel, where a troll user started threadcrapping all Vocaloid related threads. Some user commented that he wouldn't get angry only if the troll was a cute girl. Thus Akita Neru, a tsundere non-Vocaloid net-chara was born. Her image color is orange-ish yellow and her character item is a cell phone. Her design was created by [[Smith Hioka|Smith Hioka (スミス･ヒオカ)]] in 2007. Neru is sometimes written as a Miku wannabe, others as the anti-hero of the Vocaloid personage. She has been officially recognized as a [[Hatsune Miku|Miku]] derivative by Crypton since 2008.

In the West, she's largely remembered for her appearance in [[Triple Baka (Vocaloid)|]]. She would once more return to prominence in 2024 as a result of a meme relating to [[Mesmerizer (Vocaloid)|]], due to a reply to a tweet reminiscing about Triple Baka, where Neru was called ""the yellow one that doesn't appear in Mesmerizer":[https://twitter.com/FailedDumbFuck/status/1800938120416010623]". The wave of Neru fanart that followed would culminate in [[SWAGAMICCHI]]'s fan design for what Neru "could've looked like ":[/posts/7736166] in Mesmerizer.
