Rurutia (ルルティア) is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She began her career in 2001 with the release of the single "Itoshigo yo" when she was signed with Toshiba-EMI. She is currently signed with Phoerix Records and has released twelve albums and eleven singles. Rurutia is intensely private; most aspects of her life – such as her real name and age – are not known to the public. This, added to her whispered vocals, creates a unique and mysterious artistic persona.
Her pseudonym, Rurutia, is derived from the Tahitian word 'rorotea' meaning "blissful rain".
