Background
From an early age, Yurika had been interested in anime and dreamed of becoming a voice actress and singer after seeing series such as Ojamajo Doremi and Cardcaptor Sakura.

She made her debut as a voice actress with the role of Haruno Yoshikawa in 2013 (the role was switched to Sakura Ayane after her retirement), and as a solo singer on February 4, 2014, with the single "Monochrome Overdrive", which was used as the ending theme for the anime Z/X: Ignition.

In December 2017, Yurika announced that she would retire from the entertainment industry in 2018 for health-related reasons. She released her final album, "Emotional Daybreak SINGLES BEST", on May 9, 2018.

On June 3, 2018, Yurika made her final tweet on Twitter showing her new haircut. This symbolizes leaving her past life (seiyuu/singer career) into her new life. She intended to delete her Twitter but later changed her mind during her "FINAL LIVE -Emotional Daybreak-" concert on June 1, 2018.
