Fortnite Festival has evolved into a colorful intersection of music and gaming, bringing in prominent artists from many genres to enhance the gameplay. Each season brings a new Icon skin, which represents a musical artist or character popular with fans across the world.
The latest Season 7 saw the arrival of Hatsune Miku, Japan’s virtual pop sensation, which heightened the enthusiasm of fans of Vocaloid music. The collaboration, which includes two exclusive skins: the Neko Hatsune Miku Outfit purchasable through the Music Pass, and the Hatsune Miku Outfit in the Item Shop, was well-received by players.
However, as the glow from the Miku collab fades, talks about another Vocaloid character, Kasane Teto, have begun to surface. Teto, recognized for her hilarious roots and fandom, is rumored to be the next big Fortnite collaboration. But is she coming to the game? Here’s all we know.

Fortnite teases “mesmerizing” Kasane Teto collab in Festival patch notes
According to Fortnite data miners like HYPEX and players like Ehebai, Epic has reportedly teased the Kasane Teto collab skin in the Festival Season 7 patch notes by referencing the iconic Teto song Mesmerizer which also featured Hatsune Miku.
The actual line in the Festival patch notes said, “Mesmerizing Miku Items In The Shop”, which players believe is a direct reference to the actual track. While it may not mean that, the community is still speculating that the icon may arrive in the game, given this season’s theme is centered around Japanese culture.
Who is Kasane Teto?
To those unaware, Kasane Teto, originally introduced as a joke, was created on April Fools’ Day, 2008, by users of the Japanese bulletin board 2channel. Teto, created to resemble Crypton Future Media’s Vocaloid characters, was presented as a bogus addition to their roster, replete with a fictitious backstory and a phony voicebank.
This hoax was so well-executed that fans embraced the character even after the reveal, resulting in her voice bank being created for UTAU software. Her ongoing popularity originates from her beginnings, which combines humor with community enthusiasm, transforming her into a famous “joke” character in the vocal synthesis world.
