Sign in to edit

Yuhua Hamasaki is a Chinese-American drag queen and performer based in Manhattan, New York City who competed on the tenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race where they placed 12th.

Drag Name Origin[]

Yuhua is her birth name. When she began drag, she thought of it as something for fun and people just used her real name. However, as she continued in the industry, she realized she needed a real drag name. She claims she woke up hungover one morning, and developed her last name. [3] It comes from Japanese pop star Ayumi Hamasaki. Yuhua has said it distinguishes her as an Asian queen and also sounds fierce.[3]
