Yū Kobayashi (小林 ゆう, Kobayashi Yuu, born February 5, 1982 in Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actor and singer affiliated with Holy Peak. Married to someone outside the entertainment industry, she is affectionally called Yū-chan by fans.

Before becoming a voice actor, Kobayashi was scouted as a magazine model during her high school years. She made her official debut in 2003 and later joined the music industry in 2007. Not only did Kobayashi release many singles and albums during her singing career, she also formed a music group called Crush Tears. Kobayashi is a qualified dietitian and skillful illustrator. She loves rock music and rakugo. "It's never too late" is one of her favorite phrases.

Due to Kobayashi's naturally low-pitched voice, she is often assigned masculine or tsundere roles. A few of her roles include Satoshi Hōjō in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series, Mahiru Koizumi in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, and Darli Dagger in the 2019 Samurai Shodown game.
