She was born in Tokyo on October 9, 1998, and began her career — not counting a small role at age six — at age nine in the mini-series Soratobu Taiya on the satellite channel WOWOW. Since then she has been active on both the small and big screens, including standout roles in "Have A Song On Your Lips" and "Before We Vanish." She has also done voice acting, appeared in music videos, and featured in corporate commercials, promoting vitamins, noodles, MOS Burger, and more.

Not bad for a girl who worried her parents with her shyness at a very young age. Yuri is signed with the agency Amuse.
