Kagaya Yutaka (カガヤ, born 1968 in Saitama) is a Japanese digital artist who is known for painting elaborately detailed and spectacularly colored images. His images often include elements with a luminous quality. Some of his favorite subjects are astronomy and visions of utopian worlds.

His most famous works focus on three main topics: Celestial Exploring, Galactic Railroad and Starry Tales. Kagaya really likes the night sky with stars and he often uses the blue color in his work.

Kagaya released a DVD on February 23, 2007, called Fantasy Railroad in the Stars (銀河鉄道の夜), with Kenji Miyazawa (of Night on the Galactic Railroad fame). The DVD features the story of a boy dreaming of travelling by train through the Milky Way. The story is narrated by voice actress Kuwashima Houko.^[2]

Kagaya also had an exhibition of his works in Canada. In 2008, he did an exhibition in South Korea.
