Otomachi Una (音街ウナ) is a Japanese vocal developed by AH-Software Co. Ltd. and distributed by Internet Co., Ltd. in collaboration with MTK Inc. and released as an AI voice database for Synthesizer V Studio in November 2024. She was initially released as a bundled pair of voicebanks (dubbed Otomachi Una Sugar and Spicy) for the VOCALOID4 engine, developed and distributed by Internet Co., Ltd. in July 2016, then was updated for VOCALOID6 as an AI voicebank, also developed and distributed by Internet Co., Ltd. in June 2023. She also received a text-to-speech voicebank dubbed Otomachi Una Talk Ex, based on the AITalk3 engine, in April 2017, which was later updated to the AITalk4 engine (under AH-Software's VOICEROID2 brand) in December 2020 –thus becoming the first and only third-party VOICEROID product– and is now expected to be updated to the AITalk6 engine (under AI, Inc.'s A.I.VOICE2 brand) in February 2025. She received a voicebank for the Voidol voice-changer software in July 2021, then received an AI text-to-speech voice database for the VOICEPEAK engine in September 2023.

Her voice is provided by the Japanese voice actress Aimi Tanaka (田中あいみ; Tanaka Aimi).

Concept

Otomachi Una's original VOCALOID4 voicebanks were titled "Sugar" and "Spicy". These names, as well as her age of 11, are likely a reference to the old nursery rhyme "What Are Little Boys Made Of?". In the rhyme, little girls are said to be made of 3 things: sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Her birthday is July 30.

Etymology

It is likely that her given name "Una" is based on unagi ("eel") in reference to her hat. The kanji in her surname literally means "sound" (音, oto) and "town" (街, machi).[1]

Appearance

Otomachi Una follows an eel theme. She wears a hat known as "Ottoman Bō", who changes expressions to match Una.[2] Una is a young girl with bright blue eyes. She has long, electric blue hair pulled into two pigtails that are braided at the tips. She has thick bangs and an ahoge. Her fingernails are painted blue.

Voice Libraries

Otomachi Una - Sugar
The Sugar vocal was created to give a large number of tones for XSY, especially when combined with "Spicy". It is a cute and sweet sounding young female vocal, an example of voice acting. The Una vocal was fairly beginner friendly and high quality, being one of Internet Co., Ltd.'s highest quality voicebanks. It was one of the largest vocal ranges of VOCALOID and few vocals could compete with it, one of the few beating it being the "Spicy" vocal.
Otomachi Una - Spicy
The Spicy vocal was created to give a large number of tones for XSY, especially when combined with "Sugar". It is a strong and energetic sounding young female vocal, an example of voice acting. The Una vocal was fairly beginner friendly and high quality, also being one of Internet Co., Ltd.'s highest quality voicebanks. This voicebank is ideal for rock music and power ballads.
