RinLen

RinLen is the het ship between Rin Kagmine and Len Kagmine from the Vocaloid fandom.

Canon
The RinLen ship has been used in many different ways when it comes to songs. The two most popular ways they are portrayed is as siblings or as a couple. It is worth mentioning that there are songs that also portray them as rivals or just as friends. However, none of the songs that are produced for these two should be considered canon, because all Vocaloid are meant to be used as blank sleets.

Fanon
Although RinLen is considered one of the most famous Vocaloid ships, supported by many fans of the characters and which is associated with them in many ways, a noticeable number of people also view it rather negatively, given the original positioning of the characters as mirror twins. The enormous popularity of their incest shipping and complaints about it eventually even led to the fact that the authors declared fanon their relationship, leaving as their "official" concept only the statement about the mirrorness of the characters. Along side this, its already a common misconception that Rin and Len are cannoical twins.

Because of this misconception, it often creates tensions between fans and typically leads to flame wars online. However, from that monent they are not twins anymore, as Cyrpton has stated that they are whatever the fans want them to be.

Twincest and forbidden love is still one of the most popular motives among RinLen shippers, even though some producers prefer to portray them as fateful lovers rather than twins. At the same time, this ship also gained immense popularity as a family one, many songs or fanon include the cute interaction of characters like brother and sister. This also seems to be the most popular reading of their relationship in the official media.

One way or another, regardless of the portrayal of twins or lovers (or even both), this ship is still one of the most popular in the franchise and for Rin and Len, due to the fact that they are the very first and famous "twin" Vocaloid project.
