Anna Tsuchiya (土屋 アンナ, Tsuchiya Anna) is a Japanese singer, lyricist, actress, and semi-retired model. Anna was born to a Japanese mother and a Russian-American father. She has a younger brother, Kenneth and an older sister, Angela, who is a model as well.
Tsuchiya's career began at the age of fourteen when she was hired to model for Seventeen. Her demand grew, and by 2002 she was doing television ads for UNIQLO, Edwin, and KOSE products.
In mid 2002, Tsuchiya joined with former Oblivion Dust member K.A.Z to form Spin Aqua. The duo released three singles, one album, and a video collection, but didn't fare well commercially. They later slipped into hiatus before permanently disbanding in 2004, due to Tsuchiya's pregnancy.
