She has an older brother she calls Onii-chan, and has many memories of him. Hoshino Kazuma often reminds Ui of her older brother. Ui often played and ate cakes with her older brother, but the bond stopped when her brother got married. Ui felt as if he was being taken away from her. Hinata Ibuki is Ui's best friend and is very protective of her.

Ui met Kazuma when he was lost in the woods after chasing a monkey that took his little brother's hat. Ui then helped Kazuma with directions. When Ui crossed the river, she had to jump on stones. When Kazuma crossed the river, he slipped and accidentally fell and kissed Ui.When Ibuki appeared, she was shocked and was very mad, thinking Kazuma did that on purpose. Ui started loving Kazuma as an older brother, but then realizes he is more than that to her.

Vocaloid

Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer application developed by the Yamaha Corporation that enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody.

Kaito

Name: Kaito
Fun Fact: Very Fond Of Ice Cream

Kaito is a Vocaloid DTM (Desktop Music) software created by Crypton Future Media. He utilizes the older Vocaloid engine, the predecessor for Vocaloid2, and his voice is completely computer synthesized thus is less smooth sounding. Although rougher sounding, Kaito and his sibling Meiko are able to incorporate much broader voice range than Miku and Rin/Len.

As a mascot character, he is the older brother figure for the entire Vocaloid group, frequently called “Onii-san”. He wears a white coat and a blue muffler. He is very popular among the female users of NicoNico Douga and sings a lot of BL themed songs.
