伊藤由奈 (Yuna Ito) was born on September 20th, 1983, of a Japanese father and a Korean mother in Los Angeles, California. She grew up in the United States, Hawaii, and even spent her High School time there as she attended McKinley High School until 2001. When Ito was little she used to sing to songs of both Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson and had always one dream: Becoming a star! In early 2005 then Ito auditioned for the role of charismatic vocalist Reira from TRAPNEST and eventually was chosen for the role. To make her debut even more exciting Ito’s label SONY BMG JAPAN did everything to keep any information about Ito a secret.

The 22-year-old half Japanese, half Korean American debuted under the synonym of “REIRA starring YUNA ITO” with her song Endless Story, which landed on number 2 of Oricon’s single ranking. As Reira Serizawa from a quite popular manga, NANA, Ito’s idenity was kept a secret until the end.

When NANA the movie finally released in Japan, people were going crazy about the wonderful, “high-pitched”, voice of Ito and the movie song Endless Story ended its first day of sales on number 2 of Japan’s Oricon charts. Ito was on magazine covers, posters and eventually had her first TV appearance on MUSIC STATION, performing Endless Story.

It was only in 2006 that her 2nd single, Faith / Pureyes, was put on the market. With Faith being ending theme to the drama, Unfair, and Pureyes being song for the Bioclen Zero commercial. This single sold about 50,000 copies which was a dissapointment considering “Endless Story” had outsold Mika Nakashima’s “Glamorous Sky” with over 500,000 copies.
