Yang Yi (simplified Chinese: 杨逸; traditional Chinese: 楊逸; pinyin: Yáng Yì) (born June 18, 1964) is the pen name of Liu Qiao, a Chinese-born novelist who has lived in Japan since 1987.
In 2008, she won the 139th Akutagawa Prize for her (Japanese language) novel Tokiga nijimu asa (literally, A Morning When Time Blurs).
She is thus far the only Chinese national and, along with Li Kotomi, one of only two non-native Japanese speakers to win the award.
Currently she is a visiting professor at Kanto Gakuin University[2] and a professor at Nihon University.
