Yōji Ueda

Yōji Ueda (上田 燿司, Ueda Youji, born August 7, 1971 in Hyōgo) is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with Amuleto. He used to be represented by Mausu Promotion. His personal name used to be written differently (陽司) until he had it changed on April 1, 2008. He married Yūko Nagashima in 2006.

Though Ueda obtained a degree in law at Kansai University, his priorities changed when he decided to attend Tokyo Announce Gakuin College and other similar institutes to study acting. He then made his official debut as a voice actor in 2001. On January 28, 2013, he became a radio host for JOJOraDIO which had him interview a wide number of guests from January 28 to September 21, 2013.

Ueda likes listening to vocal music. He is sometimes mistaked with Yuji Ueda due to how similar their names sound. During his time attending Mausu Promotion's training center, he met Daisuke Ono who had been a student there at one point.

As a voice actor, Ueda is usually assigned older male roles, some of whom may come across as benign or antagonistic. He has lent his voice to characters like Robert E. O. Speedwagon in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Fake Hishamaru in Tokyo Ravens, and Rempart Leonhardt in Code: Realize.
