History
Crypton Future Media intended to project a Vocaloid with low-teen girl's voice at first following Miku Hatsune, but there was a demand for a boy's voice, so Crypton Future Media hired a voice actress who can produce both sounds. Kagamine Rin was the first voice bank developed and introduced to the Vocaloid consumer market. However, the package included two voice banks: one for Rin and another for Len, both provided by the seiyū Asami Shimod.

Usage for Music
The Vocal Character series were designed to be a set of vocals with particular characteristics about them. For the Kagamines, two Vocaloids with contrasting vocals for a very different result despite having the same voice provider. Since they are based on the same voice provider, both successfully harmonize with each other and therefore are often used in duets together. They each also shared a similar range to their predecessor Miku individually and can be used in together with Miku successfully. Because of the inclusion of both a male a female vocal, together they offered a much wider vocal range then Hatsune Miku did between them and can adopt a verity of roles within music creation.
Though they are voiced by the same provider, they have different pronunciations of words. Even by retuning the voice of either Kagamine to sound like the other, results are never identical, and veteran Vocaloid fans can tell who is actually voicing the song. The reason is owed to the fact Len has a lisp-sound in his singing results that Rin does not. Len is the first male of the Vocaloid 2 era and the first male vocaloid able to hit high pitched notes. He lacks the ability to hit the lower notes less than Kaito, since he was produced as a young boy singer. Of the two voicebanks however, Len is often considered more difficult to work with than his counterpart, Rin. A particular noted weakness of Len's voicebank is that he is limited in his capabilities of matching masculine vocal tones, owed to his voice provider being female; he cannot produce a satisfactory low masculine vocal tone.
Originally Rin /Len Kagamine were regarded as a product for experienced users. Unlike Miku, they were not easy to utilize for beginners and were criticized that some voices in the original voicebanks were not clear and had pronunciation problems of the Japanese language. Their vowel sounds are choppy and overall lacked smoothness with a number of vowel related sounds being absent.

Personality
The Kagamine’s are two side of the same coin; the two are one never truly complete without the other. The two are interesting because in order to work perfectly as one they must both trade off gender traits. Due to this Len is a little more feminine then most men and Rin is a little more masculine then most girls.
For being the elder Rin is the more childish of the two (not necessarily a bad thing) Rin can be stubborn, and moody but also fun-loving and outgoing, she likes to be in charge (even when she doesn’t necessarily know what’s going on) of Len and has a tendency to charge in to things without evaluating everything. She a bit of a tomboy and in time of trouble likes to put up a big strong front, but it’s usually Len who is the stability that they need.
Len on the other hand is more mature then Rin ,often getting her out of tight jams; he likes to evaluate situations before he gets involved, and unlike Rin he sometimes struggles with the trait trade off, wanting to be manlier. Len has a tendency to let Rin take charge of what they do, liking to keep her happy, he would much rather keep an eye on things anyway. Len is loyal and caring a true friend to the end.
