Kan Ying is a Hong Kong women's Go player holding the professional 2-dan rank, one of the few women in the city to have attained professional status, and she appears on lists of professional Go players registered to Hong Kong. She represented Hong Kong, China as early as the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou in 2010, competing in the mixed pairs event alongside Yang Shihai, when Go was included in the Games as an official sport for the first time with men's team, women's team and mixed pairs events. In 2023, when Go returned to the programme at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, Kan was selected for the Hong Kong, China women's team and played on board one, ahead of the fellow professional Lau Yu Yan and the 5-dan players Li Lok Yee and Yeung Sin-kei (the substitute). The women's team event was held at the Hangzhou Qi-Yuan (Zhili) Chess Hall; Hong Kong reached the knockout stage and met Japan, where Ueno Asami beat Kan on board one, and Hong Kong finished fourth, just outside the medals. The Hong Kong Go Association is the main body developing the game locally, training and selecting players for international events, and Kan is one of those it has groomed to represent Hong Kong at the Asian Games. Verifiable public information on her background and full record remains limited.
