Uei Ueo

, is a character in the Tensei Pandemic manga series.
==Plot==
Ueo is a talent scout and host for an idol agency. He is first introduced when Hinata is walking on the streets in search for the perpetrator behind his injection. Ueo mistakes Hinata for a "boyish girl," attempts to recruit him to become an idol. The situation escalates when Hinata trips and falls into a fountain, unintentionally revealing his chest when his towel comes undone. Ueo continues to sensationalize that Hinata hid her chest until the perfect moment, proclaiming that she has a special talent. As more attention is attracted to Hinata, Aki intervenes and whisks him away.
He encounters Hinata again when scouting talent for a "become an idol in five seconds" event at the beach. This time, he is even more persistent, and successfully enters Hinata into the show. Hinata's friend, Yurina is also scouted by him, though she doesn't recognize Hinata as he assumes a fake identity. When the event begins, Ueo, with his over-the-top mannerisms, introduces the girls. He is confused to see Hinata wearing a wig, but quickly romanticizes it as a "boku girl" choosing to wear a wig due to social stigma. As the event progresses, the audience and judges takes an equal liking to Yurina, Myaako, and Hinata. Instead of a single winner, he declares a tie between the three. However, only then does he realize that Hinata and Myaako have both left the venue early. Declaring Yurina the sole winner, Ueo offers her the opportunity to work as an idol with his agency. However, Yurina declines and apologizes, also running away.
With no winner chosen, the crowd starts to disperse, leaving Ueo in great panic as he receives an angry phone call from his higher-up. Just then, a tanned, muscular woman leaps onto the stage, introduces herself as Oriyama Kaoru, and declares her intention to participate in the show.
After the show, Uei Ueo continues to work with Oriyama as her manager. She becomes a successful idol, often appearing on TV and garnering many fans. In the final chapter, post the three-year time skip, she is shown still working with Ueo as she taking off to space for a PV shooting, bringing a gorilla along with her.
