“Black Rock Shooter” originates in a character illustration titled “Black Rock Shooter” created by the artist Huke, who posted it on his blog in 2007. The artist Ryo of Supercell who was inspired by the illustration created the
song based on the characters using the Vocaloid. Then the two artists collaborated to make the music video of the song, which was posted on Nico Nico Douga in 2008, and it got a great response. This eventually led to the world wide popularity.
