Hitomi Ueda

Hitomi Ueda (上田瞳) is a Japanese voice actress best known for voicing Gold Ship in Uma Musume Pretty Derby, the multimedia franchise that blends anime, game content, and character songs around horse-racing inspiration. Her work in the series places her firmly in anime and anison circles, since Gold Ship appears across the anime adaptations, game appearances, image songs, and ensemble tracks that help define the franchise's musical identity. As part of the Uma Musume cast, Ueda is closely associated with Gold Ship's eccentric, playful, and unpredictable personality, a role that makes the character stand out from more conventional heroine archetypes. That character writing gives her performances a distinctive energy in both dialogue and music, and it has helped make the role a fan favorite within the wider series catalog. In 2026, she also appeared in Uma Musume-related radio programming such as Uma Musume no All Night Nippon GOLD, underscoring her ongoing connection to the franchise beyond the animated releases.
