For an actor, if you can leave some representative and well-known characters in your audience’s career, you must receive the best recognition and encouragement as an actor. The seiyuu is the same, although the current seiyuu often attends various events and performances, but as an actor who is essentially behind the scenes, only uses sound to let the audience remember their voice and characters in many voices. Need more effort
In 2006, a popular game “Fate/stay night” based on “TYPE-MOON”, the three famous Japanese associations in Japan, told seven groups of magicians to summon the famous historical figures of the past as heroes. The spirits fight each other and fight for the only animation of the same name that can fulfill all the wishes of the holy story in Japan. This animation has been popular for a long time, and the “Fate” series that has been launched since then has occupied a very important position in ACG in modern Japan. Many of the works and characters in the series have been in Japan at home and abroad for many years. There is a long-lasting popularity. The high popularity of the works and characters not only makes the characters in the works familiar, but also greatly changes the life of the seiyuu who dubbed the works, including the famous “Tate” series in the “Fate” series.凛” Yunda Kana
Since childhood, I have participated in the children’s theater group, Ishida Kana, and I have had experience in stage plays and musicals since I was a child. Because he became an actor of the Breguet Troupe, he went to school from the beginning of elementary school and went to the preparatory school of Baodi Music School. By the time of high school, Ueda Kana was a full-fledged horsepower, both a minister of broadcasting and a member of the light-sounding department. As the director of the broadcasting department edited different contents and music every day to play at the school at noon, and also boarded the antenna on the top of Mount Rokko in Kobe, and successfully passed the examination of the amateur radio qualification certificate. As a member of the light department, piano, jazz drums, marimba and other musical instruments have been played in club activities and performances. After attending the Baodi Music School preparatory school in elementary school, Yuda Kana had mastered the vocal, ballet, dance and other performance-related abilities in high school, but finally gave up because of the lack of height in the third year. After coming to Kobe to go to university, Occasionally, Kishida Kana participated in the “VOICE Artist Project” held by the magazine “VOICE ANIMAGE” and won the championship. So she decided that the university would temporarily suspend her studies and go to the Osaka Campus of the “Sounds and Television Performance Institute” affiliated to the famous seiyuu office “ARTSVISION” to study the seiyuu course
After several years of training and learning, in 2001, Ueda Kana officially debuted as a seiyuu. In the same year, he thought that the theme song of animated singing was an opportunity to debut with a personal singer. After the debut, Ueda Kana worked while returning to university to continue studying. During the university period, I started working on the Shinkansen to work in Tokyo and Osaka. With the increase in work and training in Tokyo, I have tried to fly to and from Tokyo and Kobe to take care of work and study. During this period, there have been expenditures for seiyuu work that cannot be paid for transportation expenses, and other part-time jobs are required to earn living expenses. Happening
If there are other works that pay attention to “TYPE-MOON” before the animation “Fate/stay night” is played, there may be an audience who will have an impression of the name of Ueda Kana. In 2003, in the animation “True Moon Tan Ji”, which was adapted from the “TYPE-MOON” game, Ueda Kana is the seiyuu of “amber”, one of the two children’s servants. In 2004, Ueda Kana ushered in the first role that had a great impact on her. This year, she dubbed the actress “Sakura Mandarin” of the animated “School Alice”. In the work, “Sakura Mandarin” is a Kyoto-born role in Kansai, and it is necessary to use Kansai to talk about it. In the case of Kana, who grew up in Kansai, it is simply familiar. The original comic book has a very high popularity, and the performance of the animated character is naturally attracting attention. Ueda Kana is also inconspicuous. The animation will make the audience impressed with the role and seiyuu of “Sakura Mandarin”, which is about Kansai. Since then, everyone thinks about the Kansai cavity and thinks of Ueda Kana. After that, many of the characters related to the Western Chamber have naturally found Ueda Kana, becoming one of the famous Kansai seiyuu in the seiyuu world. For example, in the animation “Magic Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s” played in 2005 and the following series, Ueda Kana is playing the “eight gods blast” that speaks Kansai. In 2006, the animation “Fate/stay night” was played, and it can be said that Ueda Kana encountered a role that really affected her as a seiyuu life – “Far.”
『Fate/stay night』 This work and the role of “Yuan Yu” are very popular among the original fans. When the animation is announced, the seiyuu of this character is naturally expected. And Ueda Kana did not disappoint the fans. She used her voice to show the role of “Da Yu”, a young man with a little devil character, and was greatly praised. After that, with the development of a series of “Fate” projects, “Yuanyuan” has appeared in many series, and has become one of the representative figures of the “Fate” series. As the “Yuanyuan” seiyuu, Ishida Kana, also With the popularity and influence of the characters, more people have known the name “Kishida Kana” and become her most representative role
And outside of work, Ueda Kana is an uncompromising house girl. When I was a primary school student, I started making clothes and props myself, and I participated in the associations in Osaka and Kyoto and the Comic Market in the shape of CosPlayer. Although he did not continue to play CosPlay after working as a seiyuu, he did not forget to occasionally produce and sell doujins as a writer. In exchange, hobbies have also become a home game console. Ueda Kana has a wide range of hobbies, including home consoles, handhelds, and mobile games. It is one of the famous gamers in the seiyuu circle. In 2016, in the world’s largest fighting game competition EVO, Ueda Kana was awarded the world class army of “Moving Warrior EXTREME VS. FULL BOOST (up to EXVSFB)”. For the second year in a row, EVO’s “Moving Warrior Up to VERSUS” group also won the 5th and 8th place in the World Championships
In addition to playing video games, Ueda Kana also likes to play another board game – Japanese Mahjong. At first, Ueda Kana was just a person who went to the Mahjong to play mahjong. It was known as a seiyuu and a friend. Itoki gave her a fully automatic mahjong table that her friend did not want. Since then, Ueda Kana has often invited other seiyuu friends to play mahjong at her home. Her home has become a famous mahjong hall in the seiyuu circle, so she has also been called by the fans as the “Cezhuang Zhuang” of the seiyuu circle. In 2009, the mahjong competition was themed “咲-Saki-”, and Ueda Kana’s voice was the main character “Miyazumi”, and it was the real name of the “Zhuang”
