Yuuji Ueda (上田 祐司) is a Japanese voice actor credited in Detroit Metal City through Soichi Negishi. His name is written in kanji as 上田 祐司 and is read the same way, and his profile reflects a performer whose interests extend beyond acting into music and other forms of artistic expression.
Born in Fukuoka, Japan, Ueda has listed music, photography, and violin among his hobbies. Those interests help explain why his public profile feels creative and multidimensional, with a clear connection to the broader Japanese performance world rather than voice acting alone.
He also has experience in Japanese sword battle (tate), a skill that adds a physical performance element to his background and fits naturally with work that involves character portrayal and stage discipline. For an anime voice actor, that kind of training can reinforce both presence and versatility.
Outside of his credits, Ueda is married to voice actress Omi Minami. These stable details place him within the wider Japanese voice acting scene, where performers are often recognized not only for individual roles such as Soichi Negishi in Detroit Metal City, but also for the creative interests and professional range that shape their careers.
