Appearance ĭuring the development of XIA YU YAO's UTAU voicebanks, it was noted that the design was meant to be based on the voice. In Japanese, her kana spelling is "シャ・ユーヤオ".

Her full name was usually stylized as "XIA YU YAO" or "Xia Yu Yao", however, "Xia Yuyao" is another official way to write her name.
