Fan Yu-chen (Chinese: 范佑臣; pinyin: Fàn Yòuchén; Amis: 林納斯 Lín Nàsī; born 3 November 1978), better known as Van Fan or Fan Yi-chen (Chinese: 范逸臣; pinyin: Fàn Yìchén), is a Taiwanese singer and actor with ancestry from the Amis aborigine tribe. He is best known for Cape No. 7, the second top-selling film in Taiwanese cinematic history.
Fan made his debut in 2002 with the Chinese version theme song I Believe to the South Korean film My Sassy Girl. After a somewhat mediocre singing career, Fan started to show up in local TV series since 2005, and rose to fame in the Greater China Area in 2008 after the significant success of Cape No. 7, whose two theme songs As Happy as Can Be (Chinese: 無樂不作; pinyin: Wú Lè Bú Zuò) and South of Border (Chinese: 國境之南; pinyin: Guó Jìng Zhī Nán) are also sung by him.
In 2014, Fan played a role in the new film The Break-Up Artist. The film was shot in Beijing and Taiwan and was released on June 6, 2014.
