FACTS

Tatsuya Ueda is the U of KAT-TUN, and was the official leader of the group until he stepped down shortly after its formation. He tends to change his image a lot.  He is most famous for his solo performance "Love in Snow," as well as his piano and guitar skills, among KAT-TUN fans. So far, he is the only member of KAT-TUN who hasn't starred in a drama yet. Recently he is doing kintore (muscle training) for boxing. As a child, he witnessed a man being killed and went to an all-boy's school; he joined the Johnny's because he admired Tsubasa Imai so much. Ueda is a sensitive person, and is easily hurt by what others say. Band-mate Kazuya Kamenashi took care of him when they formed KAT-TUN and always looks out for him. One of his wishes is for Ueda to have a solo concert one day. 
He learned to play the piano as a child, but now prefers the guitar and sometimes plays in KAT-TUN's songs, such as "Rhodesia" and "Butterfly". He speaks/is learning both English and French (the same as his idol, Gackt). He says that he was very good on his basketball team in school. He sometimes wears blue contact lenses. Ueda is most famous for his song "Love in Snow" sung during KAT-TUN's Kaizokuban concert.
