Endou Yurika

was born on June 24, 1994, in Tokyo, Japan. She was both Imai Lisa's voice actress and Roselia's bassist up until her retirement from the entertainment industry on June 1, 2018. She was affiliated with Swallow, while musical activities were signed under Pony Canyon.

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

While still a high school student, Yurika decided to participate in the 6th Animax Anison Grand Prix held by Pony Canyon. She won the grand prize at the audition and became affiliated with the voice acting agency Swallow. In addition to this, she was paired with a fellow newcomer voice actress Takahashi Karin to form the vocal unit Yuri*Kari. The two released one single before ceasing activities around 2015.

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.

On December 17, 2017, her agency announced that she would retire from the entertainment industry in 2018 due to 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.

As of June 2018, she had released a total of four singles and one album.
