Story of One Summer
"I was attracted by the mid-winter voice that I heard by chance, and I began to embrace it..."
PERSONALITY
Uenoyama is usually easy-going and nice to talk to, especially about music. He does his best to be as tolerant as he can, but sometimes his patience just snaps and he shouts his frustrations out. It is the first thing we see of him in the series, as he becomes annoyed with Mafuyu's silence. But despite the rage and annoyance, Uenoyama proceeds to fix Mafuyu's broken guitar strings, reprimanding him to take better care of it and trying to encourage him, saying that a couple of snapped strings aren’t the end of the world.
However, he's blissfully unaware of how their simple meeting affected Mafuyu. Uenoyama, in return, is struck to his core when he hears Mafuyu sing for the first time, and in the same fashion as Mafuyu nagged him to teach him the guitar, he follows after Mafuyu to have him join the band as a vocalist.
When it comes to music, Uenoyama becomes a version of himself that Kaji calls “Ue-sama” (Lord Ue). He doesn’t hold back on his punches and criticizes everyone and anyone that's out of sync or falling behind. Even after he and Mafuyu started dating, he doesn’t hold back and very loudly lectures him that his guitar is way off or that he keeps missing notes. He is somewhat of a perfectionist and is ready to practice as long as necessary to achieve what he has in mind. And when he gets into composing something and his inspiration is strong, he can go on for hours playing, not eating and missing out on sleep.
Despite his cranky and bossy exterior, he is known to be a very caring and forgiving person, always willing to help. He's shown to be exceptionally gentle and attentive around Mafuyu, from the moment he met him. He offers to repair his guitar strings, to tune it; he instructs Mafuyu and teaches him his first guitar chords (despite stubbornly grumping how he doesn’t know to teach), and becomes worried when he becomes sick after their first performance together.
HISTORY
He began playing the guitar in sixth grade when his dad gave him an unused guitar and Ritsuka practiced around Yayoi.
Thinking then that he could not play like Thom Yorke or Keith Richards right away he continued practicing until he played correctly. Listening to music CDs he has been swallowed by the music and when he entered high school he decided to pursue music just as he planned. Before he knew it when he played to a certain degree the feeling of excitement from back then had already faded.

Electric Guitar: Telecaster- black. Gift from his father
