Aya Ueto (上戸 彩 Ueto Aya, born September 14, 1985) is a Japanese actress, singer, idol, and tarento. Born in Nerima, Tokyo, Ueto was discovered when she participated in the 7th All-Japan National Young Beauty Contest, where she won the Judges' Special Choice Prize. She made her acting debut at the age of thirteen in the film Satsujinsha Killer of Paraiso and in 1999, she and fellow participants of the Young Beauty Contest Mami Nejiki, Mai Fujiya, and Manami Nishiwaki formed the unsuccessful girl group Z-1. In 2002, after their disbandment, Ueto continued her music career as a solo singer under the label Pony Canyon, where she debuted with the single "Pureness". Ueto's breakthrough came when she was cast as a girl suffering from gender identity disorder in the sixth series of the TBS drama 3 nen B gumi Kinpachi-sensei. Her critically-acclaimed performance led to several leading roles in dramas and TV endorsements, eventually establishing her as one of Japan's most recognizable faces.[1] She has also ventured onto the big screen in famed film director Ryuhei Kitamura's 2003 blockbuster Azumi and its sequel, Azumi 2: Death or Love in 2005. As one of Japan's most ubiquitous celebrity endorsers, Ueto constantly appears on billboards, shop windows and trains, advertising for companies such as Fujifilm, Lotte, Ōtsuka Seiyaku and SoftBank.

[edit] Early life and career
Aya Ueto was born in Nerima, Tokyo to an Hokkaidan father and Okinawan mother. She has two brothers; Makoto, who is two years older and Shun, who is sixteen years older. She became an aunt at the age of eleven. Shortly after Ueto's debut in 1999, her parents divorced and she subsequently lived with her mother and siblings. Ueto remains in contact with her father and states that, despite her busy schedule, she tries to see him every so often.
As a child, Ueto studied piano, modern ballet, swimming and rhythmics. She did not have ambitions to become an entertainer; she wanted to become a pre-school teacher.[2] However, at the age of twelve, after hearing about one of her friends' experience as an extra on a TV drama, she decided she "wanted to appear on TV" as well. Having heard this from her daughter, Ueto's mother secretly sent an application to a contest she had found in a leaflet, the 7th All-Japan National Young Beauty Contest. Ueto's mother, who was a Ryūkyūan folk singer, encouraged her to follow the dream she herself had given up on.
Aged only twelve, Ueto won the Judges' Special Choice Prize at the contest. She revealed later on that her real motivation for doing well was to "win the two million cash prize" because she "wanted to buy a house" for her family, however because what she won was an ad hoc prize decided that day, there was no cash prize.[3] After her discovery, she joined the talent agency Oscar Promotion and started acting and singing lessons. In 1999, she obtained her first role in the film Satsujinsha Killer of Paraiso, in which her lines were entirely in English. Later that year she debuted with the girl group Z-1 and landed a recurring spot on the TV variety shows Kaishingeki TV! Utaemon and The Yoru mo Hippare.
[edit] 2000-2003: Success as an actor and solo debut
In 2000, Ueto got her first TV role in the Fuji TV drama, Namida wo Fuite, starring Yōsuke Eguchi. The drama garnered strong ratings and gave Ueto her then biggest exposure yet. In December she traveled to Cairns, Australia to shoot her first photo book, entitled Hare Nochi Ame, Nochi Hare. In 2001, Ueto was chosen as model for the annual Victor Kōshien Poster campaign and poster girl for the High School Baseball Association. Later that year, she was cast as a high school student suffering from gender identity disorder in the sixth series of the TBS drama 3 nen B gumi Kinpachi-sensei. Her passionate portrayal endeared her to the Japanese nation and propelled her to stardom. She has stated that she was completely "absorbed by the role", so much so that she would "forget to enter the girls' bathroom".
In 2002, Ueto did some more modeling and appeared as the poster girl for the FDMA's Fire Prevention campaign and the MHLW's LQ campaign. In January, it was announced that Ueto would continue her music career as a solo artist under Pony Canyon's subsidiary label, Flight Master.[4] Her debut single, which was scheduled for release in May, was postponed to August.[4] In April, she traveled to Okinawa to shoot her second photo book, Aiueto. In June, she appeared in a five-episode arc of the long-running home drama Wataru Seken wa Oni Bakari and in July, she starred in the TBS drama My Little Chef, alongside Akiko Yada and Hiroshi Abe. In August, Ueto officially debuted as a solo artist with the single "Pureness". It peaked at #4 on the weekly Oricon chart, making it the first debut single by a female artist with no commercial tie-in to enter the Top 5 in three years. In September, Ueto started the filming of her first feature film, Azumi, in Kyoto. In between filming, she recorded her second single, "Kizuna", which was released in November and peaked at #5 on the Oricon chart, and launched a radio show on JOLF, entitled Seventeen's Map.
In January 2003, Ueto was cast as the female lead in a remake of the 1993 drama, Kōkō Kyōshi, alongside Naohito Fujiki. In February, she released a third single, "Hello" and subsequently released her eponymous first album, Ayaueto, a month later, which peaked at #5 on the albums chart. A tour in support of the album was organized, however because of the tight promotion schedule surrounding the release of Azumi, the rehearsal sessions scheduled for April were, to Ueto's discontent, postponed to May, only days before the start of the tour. In early April, it was revealed that Ueto, who had been attending Horikoshi High School, had taken a leave of absence from school to focus on her career. She has publicly stated that at the time she was only "getting two hours of sleep" and, ever since she was sixteen, she has had to rely on massage parlors to "relieve the stress and pressure of work".[5] In May, Ueto launched her first live tour, Ueto Aya First Live Tour Pureness 2003, released a fourth single, "Message/Personal" and Azumi opened nationwide. In July, Ueto got her first leading role in the TBS drama Hitonatsu no Papa e, for which she also sang the theme song. In August, she released a fifth single, "Kanshō/Mermaid", and celebrated her first anniversary as a solo artist with a live event, held at the Venus Fort in Odaiba, Tokyo. In September, she released a third photo book, shot in Okinawa, entitled September Fourteenth. She also had a part in the special drama Satōkibi Batake no Uta.

The drama was a hit and won her the award for Best Leading Actress at the 40th The Television Drama Academy Awards.[6] Ueto's seventh single, "Ai no Tameni.", which was used as ending theme to Ace wo Nerae!, became her biggest hit, selling 100,000 copies and peaking at #6 on the Oricon chart.

In November, Ueto acted as a one-day chief firefighter for the Fire Prevention campaign. She spent most of the later-half of the month promoting her tenth single, "Usotsuki".

She was also chosen as special supporter of the anime Meitantei Conan, in which she even made a guest appearance as herself. In February, in between the Winter Olympics coverage, she released her thirteenth single, "Egao no Mama de" and starred in the first episode of the drama adaption of the mobile novel Tsubasa no Oreta Tenshitachi, entitled Celeb.

In August, Ueto held her much awaited third live tour, Ueto Aya Best live Tour 2007 Never Ever, which was a success.
