Gackpo is one of the few VOCALOIDs to see his most popular meme make it into merchandise form. Gackpo's look was picked from several possible designs. From this concept, Internet co., Ltd drew up their own ideas on what makes VOCALOID popular. A note from Crypton Future Media's VOCALOIDs stated that they were using cyber-style clothes which can 'melt into' our everyday lives as much as possible. The avatar of the software was drawn by the illustrator Kentaro Miura (三浦健太郎 Miura Kentaro). The same issue occurs with GUMI and her software Megpoid. This is owed to the confusion over the separate name for both the VOCALOID and software package. Less experienced overseas fans mislabeled Gackpo as a 'Gackpoid' rather than a 'VOCALOID' and sometimes dismissed that he is a VOCALOID altogether. Other spellings of his name have also been witnessed from other sources. 'Kamui Gakupo' can also be seen on the KARENT website.
'Kamui Gakupo' is the spelling overseas VOCALOIDs fans are accustomed to and frequently use. The romanization of his name is 'Kamui Gakupo' (かむいがくぽ) but is officially stylized by Internet Co. Consequently, the full implied name of this product is 'Gackt-like VOCALOID'. The 'poid' on the end of the name is short for 'like VOCALOID'. The software name of 'Gackpoid' also takes its name from Gackt's own. 'Gackpo' is based on the pronunciation of the name 'Gackt'.
