## Early life and career start
Uchida grew up in Tokyo watching his older sister [Maaya Uchida](https://www.edgepedia.org/maaya-uchida) build her own career as a voice actor, a path that drew him into the field as well[5](https://meetthevoiceactors.com/voice-actors/yuma-uchida/). He enrolled at the Japan Narration Acting Institute at seventeen and made his first credited anime appearance in the *Holy Knight* OVA in 2012, while he was still a student[5](https://meetthevoiceactors.com/voice-actors/yuma-uchida/).
His first lead role came quickly. In 2014 he was cast as Yuuma Kousaka in *Gundam Build Fighters Try*, a mecha series that ran into 2015 and spawned follow-up projects in which he reprised the part[5](https://meetthevoiceactors.com/voice-actors/yuma-uchida/). Through the mid-2010s he accumulated roles in action and science-fiction titles including *Blood Blockade Battlefront*, *[The Asterisk War](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-asterisk-war)*, *Macross Delta*, and *[Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans](https://www.edgepedia.org/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans)*[5](https://meetthevoiceactors.com/voice-actors/yuma-uchida/).
## Breakthrough and major roles
The role that raised his public profile was Ash Lynx in *Banana Fish*, a two-cours series he described in a post-award interview as one of the works that defined a full year of leading parts for him, alongside *Grand Blue*, *Macross Delta*, and *The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done!*[7](https://webnewtype.com/report/cast/185942.html). At the 13th Seiyu Awards, announced on 9 March 2019, he received the Best Lead Actor (主演男優賞) award[2](https://www.seiyuawards.jp/winning/winning_13/) • [7](https://webnewtype.com/report/cast/185942.html). Two years earlier he had received the Best Male Newcomer award at the 11th Seiyu Awards[5](https://meetthevoiceactors.com/voice-actors/yuma-uchida/).
Subsequent lead roles established him across several franchises. He voices Megumi Fushiguro in *Jujutsu Kaisen*, a part he has carried into the franchise's films and games[3](https://www.morinaga.co.jp/public/newsrelease/web/fix/file69b93eb3ca0ce.pdf) • [6](https://www.uchidayuma.com/biography/). In *Fruits Basket* he played Kyo Sohma through the series' final season, a performance that earned Anime Trending Awards nominations for Best Voice Acting Performance, Male, in both 2021 and 2022[8](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6793636/awards/). More recent leads include Haruka Sakura in *WIND BREAKER*, Sunraku (Rakuro Hizutome) in *Shangri-La Frontier*, Kanata Katagiri in *MF Ghost*, and Jun Yodaka in *Medalist*[3](https://www.morinaga.co.jp/public/newsrelease/web/fix/file69b93eb3ca0ce.pdf). His game work is extensive, with credits across *Genshin Impact*, *Honkai: Star Rail*, *Granblue Fantasy*, *Arknights*, and *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves* (Rock Howard)[6](https://www.uchidayuma.com/biography/).
## Awards and recognition
The 13th Seiyu Awards, which covered works broadcast or released between 1 October 2017 and 30 September 2018, named Uchida Best Lead Actor; the selection was made through the awards' central selection committee[2](https://www.seiyuawards.jp/winning/winning_13/). His *Jujutsu Kaisen* cast shared a second-place Anime Trending Award for Best in Voice Cast in 2024, for the show's second season, and he was a 2026 nominee for Best Voice Acting Performance, Male, as Sunraku in *Shangri-La Frontier* season 2[8](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6793636/awards/).
## Music career
Uchida debuted as a singer on 30 May 2018[6](https://www.uchidayuma.com/biography/). His official biography describes his musical style as built on a smooth vocal delivery, sharp dancing, and stage performance[6](https://www.uchidayuma.com/biography/). As of his site's current count he has released 11 singles and 3 albums[6](https://www.uchidayuma.com/biography/).
His live career reached a milestone in November 2022, when he performed a two-day headline show at [Nippon Budokan](https://www.edgepedia.org/nippon-budokan) on 12 and 13 November, drawing 16,000 attendees across the two days[6](https://www.uchidayuma.com/biography/).

A 2025 live tour, "YUMA UCHIDA LIVE TOUR 2025 Atelier," later received a Blu-ray release[9](https://www.uchidayuma.com/information/?category_id=102).
Several of his singles are tied to the anime in which he appears.

## Narration and other work
In late 2020 Uchida took on a role outside character acting as narrator of the TBS morning news program *Asa Chan!*, a daily weekday slot. In an interview with Oricon News he described news narration as a discipline that demands conveying information accurately without inserting personal subjectivity, and said the opportunity to work in narration had drawn him to accept the position[11](https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2176602/full/). His other credits include dubbing work on foreign films, narration for exhibitions and commercials, and stage readings[6](https://www.uchidayuma.com/biography/).
