You You (Chinese: 悠悠; June 23, 1988 - March 2004) was a male giant panda[3] born by artificial insemination[4] in the Ueno Zoo in Japan.[5] His parents are Fei Fei and Huan Huan. [6]

In 1992, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Normalization of Sino-Japan Diplomatic Relations, the Ueno Zoo exchanged You You with Ling Ling from the Beijing Zoo, and You You thus came to settle in the Beijing Zoo.[7]

In March 2004, You You died at the Beijing Zoo in China.
