Edit
亞北ネロ (Akita Nero) is a Vocaloid derivative designed by Smith Hioka as Akita Neru's younger brother.
He is a 13 years old boy with blonde hair and an ahoge.
When Hatsune Miku's pictures became unsearchable on main search engines such as Google and Yahoo! Japan in 2007, an apocryphal rumor spread among 2channel users:
"The system engineers at Yahoo! Japan had not enough time to work out the bugs in their image recognition algorithms. They decided to check all unsearchable images one by one manually, to change all Miku's pictures to ’searchable’."
Nero was created as one of these poor, overworked part-time engineers in Yahoo!.
