Kagamine Rin & Len, a.k.a. Kagamine Rin (鏡音リン) and Kagamine Len (鏡音レン), is a virtual singer softwear developed by Crypton Future Media(The "Crypton"), based on VOCALOID by Yamaha. It's the second work of Character vocal series, which could also be regarded as the anthropomorphic of the softwear.
During the development, Crypton thought to set them as twins that Rin is older[2], however when they were released, in order to offer larger space of creation, not only did they gave up the setting of twins, but even the the setting of "Image in the Mirror" was also given up[3].
Now the setting of Kagamine Twins has already been accepted by fans and some creators. But "Kagamine Twins" is a secondary setting, accepted by Crypton, but not officially claimed, on the official website of Crypton the library of "VOCALOID2 鏡音リン・レン act2" is also called "超フレッシュなツイン・ボーカル" [4]it's both okay to say Rin is older or Len is older.

Version
The first version of "Kagamine Rin & Len" was released on Dec. 27th 2007. The voicebank was based on Vocaloid 2 engine
On May 26th 2008, pictures of Kagamine Rin & Len on the official website of Crypton started to Flake. Two days later, Crypton published the new version of Kagamine Rin & Len called "Kagamine Rin & Len act2" on the 75th session of IPSJ Special Insterst Group on Music and Computer[7]. The new version improved the smoothness between syllables and decreased the noise. Crypton said that users who had already bought the old versions could update their libraries for free before Sept. 20th[8]. The demo song was released on Jun. 18th, and the new character design was released on Jul. 9th. A few minor changes were made on the mechanical part of their hand, etc. a.k.a glowing and the green screen on the cuff.
On Jul. 18th 2008, "Kagamine Rin & Len act2"was officially released[9].
Because of the great success of Hatsune Miku#Append, Crypton decided to develop the append version of "Kagamine Rin & Len act2" a.k.a "Kagamine Rin & Len Append" in the early December. On Dec. 27th 2010, "Kagamine Rin & Len Append" was released as an append library of "Kagamine Rin & Len act2". In this update, their voice became more mature. LEN的声音变得更有存在感、稳重；RIN的声音变得更有魅力。此外，声音上还添加了部分的喘气成分，使得合成出的歌声尽量真实。此更新共补充了6个音色，分别为：「RIN DB 1 POWER」，「RIN DB 2 WARM」，「RIN DB 3 SWEET」，「LEN DB 1 POWER」，「LEN DB 2 COLD」，「LEN DB 3 SERIOUS」，需要单独购买，且需要依赖原本的「鏡音リン・レン act2」。同时官方再次对人设进行了更改。
- ↑ This setting doesn't appear in the character design of V2, but many people mistook the hair on the top of Len's head for Ahoge, so most illustrators would add an Ahoge for Len. This even became the official setting after V4's release
