Yuuri (優里), born 木村優里 on March 23, 1994 in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, is a Japanese singer-songwriter and YouTuber signed to Ariola Japan under Sony Music Entertainment. He first performed as the vocalist for the four-member rock band The Bugzy before the group disbanded in May 2019, setting up the solo career that later defined his name in Japanese pop and rock.
Yuuri made his formal solo debut in December 2019 with the single "Kakurenbo," and the release marked the start of a career built around direct songwriting, melodic pop hooks, and a rock edge. His official site is yuuriweb.com, and his YouTube activity has remained part of his public profile. In 2026, live footage from CENTRAL26 was also released sequentially on THE FIRST TAKE and YouTube, adding another recent milestone to his profile as a contemporary Japanese artist.
