Yūka Nanri (南里 侑香 Nanri Yūka?, born March 13, 1984 in Nagasaki, Japan) is a Japanese actress, voice actress and pop singer. She is represented by Space Craft Entertainment.
Yūka Nanri debuted on NHK's Utatte Odoronpa (うたってオドロンパ?) (an educational programme) in 1995 as a child star.
In 1997, she joined Minami Aoyama Shōjo Kageki Dan (南青山少女歌劇団 South Aoyama Female Opera Group?, also known as Nanshō), a stage group for young girls as one of its seventh generation members, and acted in musicals and other theatrical performances.
Nanri left the group in August 2001 and made her voice acting debut that year as Bubbles in the Japanese version of The Powerpuff Girls. After that, she officially started her voice acting activities as the protagonist of Gunslinger Girl. She has voiced many weak-looking and gentle characters, though in My-HiME she played Nao Yūki, a morally ambivalent middle school student who enjoys preying on perverted men.
