# Shu Uchida

Shu Uchida (内田 秀, Uchida Shū, born May 24, 1996) is a Japanese-Australian voice actress. She debuted in 2016, acted as Warspite, a game character from Kantai Collection.

## Early life

Shu Uchida was born in Japan and was raised in Sydney, Australia from the age of 2, living there up until the age of 18. At that time, she watched Bleach, Naruto, etc. with her sister. Many of these anime were sent by her grandparents who lived in Japan.
Impressed by some other famous voice actors like Romi Park and Tetsuya Kakihara, she wanted to be a voice actress when she was in primary school. However, at that time, her Japanese was not fluent enough, so her parents were opposed to her becoming a voice actress. In high school, she took part-time jobs and started to book flights to Japan for voice acting auditions. Although her parents wanted her to finish school, she skipped university and moved to Japan alone to pursue voice acting in 2014.

## Career
### 2014-present

She joined the Pro-Fit voice actor school and started her two years training to become a voice actor in 2014. She got her first job and debuted as Warspite, a game character from Kantai Collection, before graduating from the school in 2016.
After graduating from Pro-Fit voice actor school, she was affiliated with LINK PLAN, a subsidiary of Pro-Fit.
On September 30, 2020, she left LINK PLAN with Mayu Sagara, her friend at the same agency. The next day, October 1, she announced to be affiliated with a new artist management department "CaliCom" from StrayCats.
On February 1, 2021, she started her YouTube channel "ShuTube". The content of the channel is mainly about the culture in Japan and Australia.
She is proficient in English and got a 990 full score upon her first attempt on TOEIC in 2021. As she has some American English speaking characters, which is different to her native Australian English, she studied hard on the English pronunciation.

## Personal life
