Reina Ueda is a Japanese voice actor and singer born in Toyama Prefecture on 17 January 1994. Her work spans television animation, films and music, with performances that give different characters distinct emotional textures.

Her agency profile records a best new actress honor at the ninth Seiyu Awards. As her career developed, Ueda took on a range of characters across genres, from everyday school stories to fantasy and action.

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, she voices Kanao Tsuyuri. Kanao’s reserved manner leaves space for subtle changes in delivery, while her actions gradually reveal more of her feelings.

Ueda also voices Akane Shinjo in SSSS.GRIDMAN. Moving between such different characters illustrates how the voice can shape the audience’s understanding even when the performance is separated from the actor’s face.
