# Introduction
KEINE Tashi is a character and set of vocal libraries developed for
the shareware [UTAU](http://utau2008.web.fc2.com/), a singing voice
synthesizer. I developed KEINE Tashi over the course of several years,
from 2012 to 2015. Three vocal libraries have been released to the
public, the most used one being his *JPN Power Extend* one. On March
10th, 2017, I announced I would cease any kind of activity related to
UTAU.

sound”. It reads as “keine”, although its regular reading should

- **Likes :** to meditate, calligraphy, old books, manuscripts (is
that a self-insert?)
- **Dislikes:** selfishness, lies, arrogance
- **Personality:** Tashi is somebody very calm, sweet. He really
enjoy old books and manuscripts, and he LOVES meditate! He's never
hungry, so, he can stay meditating for 2~3 days meditating, just
like that, until he realizes that he should eat something. And he
always keep quiet, it's really hard to make him angry.
But when he is, his anger becomes wrath. Anyone who experienced it
can attest how complex and difficult it is to calm him down.
Strangely enough, shortly after being confronted by Tashi, the
victims of this wrath see their quality of life greatly improve.
Maybe these people needed to hear some truths they refused to face
before?

Tai Situ Rinpoche. If you have any question or if you are unsure,
please send me an email.
