Chinen Yuri



Yuri (Yuuri), also known as "the little giant", is a Japanese actor, dancer and singer/composer under Johnny & Associates' management. He was born November 30, 1993 in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture and now lives in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area.

Yuri Chinen was born in an art-oriented family. His skill in dancing was mainly influenced by his mother, Miki Chinen, who taught him jazz dance since he was three. Yuri's father, Takashi Chinen, is a bronze medalist in Olympics gymnastics, obviously why Yuri was inclined in acrobatics too. Yuri is the youngest in the family. He has a 2 year older sister, Saya Chinen, who shares the same room with him.

Calmest, serenest, quietest - that is how HSJ would describe their fellow member Chinen Yuri. Yuri is a person who doesn't talk really often. He's someone who wouldn't want anyone see him cry, so he would usually hold his tears back when things get solemnly. But he can get a bit corky at times too. He just knows when to get serious.
