Yuki Matsuoka (born September 13, 1970) is a Japanese voice actress who gained popularity in the early 2000s. She was first noticed as Osaka in Azumanga Daioh and Evangeline in Negima! Magister Negi Magi. After that, she's landed mega roles as secondary main characters, like Orihime and Nana. All of her characters tend to be adorable, clueless and loved by the fanbase.

Tropes for Yuki Matsuoka:
- Cloudcuckoolander: Osaka and Orihime. And there's also Alisa to count.
- Playing Against Type:
- Scharlachrot. Instead of a good Cloudcuckoolander we got an Ax-Crazy psycho girl...
- In Never7, she plays Kurumi who is completely in her type. Rather, she is Playing Against Type as Haruka Higuchi, a Sugar-and-Ice Girl who suffers emotionally from a severe inferiority complex.
