Anna Y. Kyouyama (アンナ・Y・キョーヤマ) is a fictional character in the Shaman King manga series. She is an itako trained by Asakura Kino and the predecessor of Kyōyama Anna.

History
She was raised and trained by Asakura Kino in Mt. Osore to become an itako. She eventually moved to Los Angeles, where she started a successful business and became an actress.

When Asakura Yoh and his friends traveled to America for the Shaman Fight, Anna began investigating and sent all the information she obtained to the Asakura Family. This helped her junior Kyōyama Anna find the Patch Village. Anna provided support for Gandhara as well.

After the Patch Tribe were killed, Anna took in the daughter of Silva and sole survivor of the tribe, Alumi Niumbirch, and trained her to be an itako.

Anime/Manga Difference
She is never mentioned in the 2001 anime series.
