Biography
Tatsuya Ueda is a Japanese singer and actor under Starto Entertainment who anchored KAT-TUN for nearly two decades. Born October 4, 1983, in Kanagawa, Japan, he joined Johnny & Associates in 1998 and debuted as a KAT-TUN member in March 2006. The group's name originated as an acronym of its members' initials; after Jin Akanishi (2010), Koki Tanaka (2013), and Junnosuke Taguchi (2016) departed, Ueda's 'T' began representing TaTsuya. From 2016 onward, KAT-TUN stood for Kazuya KAmenashi, TaTsuya Ueda, and Yuichi Nakamaru, a lineup that persisted until the group's disbanding in April 2025. Beyond his entertainment career, Ueda is also an amateur boxer. As an actor and singer, Ueda performs across music recordings, live concerts, and film and television roles. As a Libra, he embodies the sign's reputation for balance and collaboration—fitting for a group member who adapted his role as the band's lineup shifted.
