==Concept==
According to the short animation series promoting VOCALOID CHINA, Moke is a genius with an IQ of 168. Even though he always wears an innocent and warming smile, he is actually the most Otaku of all Otaku. By starting threads in forums, editing, and uploading MVs, he is seen as a "god" by some people on the internet. He is sometimes mistaken as a girl; although he claims that he hates this, there are unconfirmed rumors of a popular cross-dressing cosplayer appearing in various comic conventions who looks very similar to him. Because he usually doesn't talk, most people will take him as a "nice boy", but he will reveal his true Otaku self when he is with close friends. He acts somewhat like a professional debater when talking about anime or other Otaku topics, but tends to react poorly to subjects that do not interest him.http://www.vocaloidism.com/chinese-vocaloid-luo-tianyi-friends-revealed

===Etymology===
His original name was MOKO, however, this was dropped because it was written in a Japanese naming style rather than Chinese.
Zhǐ (徵)https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%BE%B5#Etymology_2 and yŭ (羽) are the fourth and fifth notes of the ancient Chinese pentatonic scale. His first name, Mókē (摩柯), originates in Buddhism (摩柯婆罗多 Mókēpóluóduo, i.e. Mahabharata). His name is generally stylized as "Zhiyu Moke" but "Zhi Yu Mo Ke" is also another official stylization.
Moke's official signature is "Moke" written in romanized letters rather than in Chinese characters. His signature featured a bird-like design, with a plumage in the front of the name, the "M" written as a feather or wing-like design, and the "e" trailing into a tail. Moke's signature was the only one out of the Vsinger cast that was entirely written in romanized form while the other characters wrote their names only in Chinese or combining both in some way.
===Appearance===
SAKU's MOKO design was submitted to the first VOCALOID CHINA contest and was announced as a runner-up entry. The character was later refined and redrawn by the Chinese illustrator ideolo as Zhiyu Moke.
Located on Moke’s hip in his debut design, there is a green charm with a Devanagari letter "च" (ca) which represents the , the "West" position, the color "white", and the "Autumn" season. This character’s Chinese equivalent is "商" (Shāng), one of the 5 Traditional Chinese melody characters which corresponds to D (re).Sanskrit and logo
Moke's V4 design was illustrated by TID. His color scheme changed from white and light blue to white and dark blue. His new design was more sailor-inspired compared to the debut design. His pants were white rather than black and his boots became lace-up with the Devanagari letter located on the sides. His hat has a keyboard and soundwave design on it. His hair color seemed to change from dark to a navy blue.
