Life

Ueda was born in the Tokushima fiefdom , today's Tokushima Prefecture , into a samurai family. In 1877 he took part in the suppression of uprisings during the Satsuma rebellion with the rank of captain and led the 2nd Battalion of the 11th Regiment.

During the First Sino-Japanese War he was the rank of Colonel Chief of Staff of the 5th Division under Lieutenant General Nozu Michitsura .

At the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War Ueda was Lieutenant General and in May 1904 was appointed commander of the 5th Division , which was assigned to the 4th Army at the beginning of the war . Because of the heavy losses his division suffered in storming Putilov Hill during the Battle of Shaho , he was relieved of his command in November 1904 and appointed commander of the Taiwan Garrison ( Taiwan Army ). However, this did not harm Uedo's career, and in 1907 he was appointed Danshaku according to the Japanese nobility system of Kazoku .

Ueda was promoted to general in 1912 and retired in 1917. He died on November 30, 1921.
