Andre Luiz de Souza Silva or simply known as Biju (born September 17, 1974 in Brazil) is a Brazilian former football player. He is called "Biju" because it is the name of a vegetable dish he often ate as a child.
After playing professionally in his native Brazil for three years, Biju joined the J. League at Consadole Sapporo in 1999. In 2002 he moved to Kyoto Purple Sanga, and then Sagan Tosu. From 2006 he played for Ventforet Kofu. He joined Mito mid-season of 2007 on a 6-month contract.[1] He spent his last career at Zweigen Kanazawa in Japan's semi-professional Japan Football League.
