Yuji Ueda is a Japanese actor, voice actor, and singer from Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture with a versatile career spanning multiple entertainment mediums.
Ueda voiced Akira in the 1997 anime adaptation of Dr. Slump, Akira Toriyama's comedic precursor to Dragon Ball. This role placed him within the creator's universe, though his primary connection to Toriyama's work is through this spinoff series rather than Dragon Ball itself.
