Li Jia (Chinese: 李嘉, born 9 January 1997), better known by her stage name Liyuu, is a Chinese singer, voice actress and cosplayer. She voices Yua in Suikoden STAR LEAP.
History
From a young age, Liyuu was an avid anime fan, especially shows like Cardcaptor Sakura, Shugo Chara!, and Reborn!, which sparked her interest in cosplay and performing. She began cosplay activities in high school, featuring as Yui Hirasawa from K-On!, and eventually made her international debut at Winter Comiket in Tokyo in 2016. Her cosplay quickly gained popularity across social media, accumulating over a million followers in Japan.
In 2018, Liyuu signed with HoriPro International. A year later, she sang "Polaris," an image song for the character Siren in the mobile game Dragalia Lost. Her major music debut came in 2020 under the Lantis label with the single "Magic Words", which served as the opening theme for the anime Hatena Illusion. Later that year, she released "Carpe Diem", used as the ending theme for I’m Standing on a Million Lives.
December 2020 marked her rise as a voice actress when she was cast as Tang Keke in the multimedia project Love Live! Superstar!!, becoming the first Chinese seiyuu to voice a main character in the Love Live! franchise. Since then, she has continued to develop her career through music and perform as Tang Keke in all seasons of the TV anime.
Liyuu held her first solo concert in Yokohama in February 2022. She’s also appeared in endorsements and modeling projects, like modeling for Baby, The Stars Shine Bright's first fragrance in 2023, and released her second photobook in early 2025 to mark her fifth anniversary as an artist.
