**Yudai Ohno** (大野雄大, *Ōno Yūdai*) is a Japanese singer, dancer and songwriter. He is a vocalist and performer of Da-iCE. He was a member of avex artist academy's a cappella group Fukkin Gakuen in 2009.

## Biography

Yudai was born in April 1, 1989 in Aichi, Japan. When he was 4, his family moved to Shizuoka. There he started playing soccer. He joined a soccer team when he was in kindergarten. In second grade, he lived in Kanagawa and was chosen for the local prefectural selection in soccer. He also joined the soccer club in secondary school. At that time he thought he would become a soccer player. However, when he went to high school, soccer started being demanding more than in secondary school and once he joined the soccer club, he wouldn't be able to make anything else a priority. So although he wanted to be a soccer player, that was a huge cost to his parents. He started thinking of becoming a singer in his first year of high school. At that time, he thought he lacked skills when it came to singing, so he was determined to spend as much time singing as he had spent playing soccer. He was practicing singing for 7 hours a day.

Turning 20 years old, he, along with 6 other students in Avex Academy formed a group called Fukkin Gakuen. He joined Da-iCE when he was 22, and he had never learnt dancing by then. He struggled a lot as he had to learn dancing from scratch on top of practicing singing, but he said he finally found dancing fun after one or two years.

On April 3, 2019, he made his solo debut with his first mini album "Kono Michi no Saki ni". On January 4, 2021, he sang the national anthem at the "J.League YBC Levain Cup 2020" final at Japan National Stadium.
