Dan Liu (Dan Liu Tatsuaki Chinese: 廖建明, Cantonese Pinyin: Liu Kin Ming | Japanese: たつあき, Liu Tatsuaki; born April 26, 1972) is a Chinese-Japanese Canadian fashion designer and producing apparel, accessories and fashions for women and men. He is also the founder and the creative director of TATSUAKI fashion label. He was born in Hong Kong and is currently based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Tokyo, Japan.

Dan Liu was born in Hong Kong and because of his complex family background, he moved to Canada by himself when he was 16. Liu attended high school at Resurrection Catholic Secondary School in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and studied at the University of Waterloo for Psychology and Computer Science. At his early age, Liu worked as a janitor, as a delivery guy, as a tutor and as a choreographer/dancer until producing various fashion shows for a major fashion group in Canada in 1995; this triggered his passion in fashion. In 1997, he decided to discontinue everything and went back to Tokyo, Japan to study fashion design and marketing at Aoyama Fashion College.

Liu worked for a fashion house TSUKI Fashion as a designer in the beginning. In 2002, he began working with Holt Renfrew Canada to promote his own label TATSUAKI by starting in 4 major Canadian cities; Montreal, Quebec; Toronto, Ontario; Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver, British Columbia until 2005 it was available across Canada. Liu went back to Tokyo, Japan in 2004 to launch his ready-to-wear collection and in 2006, he expanded his line with a lower price range label, AKI in Japan. In 2012, he started contracting with Hudson's Bay and became the first Asian Canadian fashion designer to launch his own label at the Bay in the 21st century. In November 2010, Liu was fashion design/consulting to clients as a stylist/designer at Hugo Boss Canada and he collaborated with Haight & Ashbury in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for men's clothing in March 2013.
