Masaya Oya (Japanese: 大箭将也, Hepburn: Ōya Masaya; born September 28, 1992), known professionally as Camellia (Japanese: かめりあ, Hepburn: Kameria), is a Japanese electronic musician and record producer. He is best known for his work in the rhythm game scene and has been a composer for games such as Osu!, Beat Saber, Sound Voltex, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva and Beatmania IIDX. Outside rhythm games, he has worked with the record label Pony Canyon and is a member of the label Exit Tunes. He also publishes his discography under his independent record label, KamelCamellia.

Oya primarily composes fast-paced EDM songs that are usually at or above the 200 BPM mark. His music is described as dubstep, trance, drum and bass, hardcore, gabber, trap, speedcore and doujin music. Théo Forey notes in Oya's artistry that unlike many electronic artists who focus on a single style, he actively experiments with different sounds. He often collaborates and even releases some albums alongside the singer Nanahira. He is known for his remixes of the OST of the game Undertale and collaborations with game designer and composer Toby Fox. Oya is also known for his track "Ghost", considered as the hardest in the game Beat Saber. He is popular outside of Japan through the video game osu!, where he has a dedicated fan community. Oya is also an active streamer on Twitch.
