InfoIsamu Ueda was born on August 5, 1958, in Tokyo, as the second son of Hideyu Ueda and Chiyoko Seki. Hideyu, who was born in California, was a second generation Japanese American, and he served in the US military as a chemical engineer after graduating from University of Southern California. Isamu’s older brother, Robert Yoshikazu Ueda, born in 1952, graduated Boston University Medical School and practices surgery in Beverly Hills, California. The Ueda family moved to Yokohama in 1962, where he spent most of his life thereafter. Ueda attended and finished grade school at the St. Joseph International School in Yokohama. He graduated from Soka High School, in Kodaira, in 1977.

Ueda graduated the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Tokyo in April of 1981, with a BS degree in Agricultural Engineering. He majored in irrigation engineering and rural planning. He immediately joined the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF), where he served until December of 1992.

He earned a master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) at Cornell University S. C. Johnson Graduate School of Business in Ithaca, New York, in May of 1986. He majored in corporate finance and quantitative analysis, and has written a paper on security and commodity option trade.

At MAFF, Ueda engaged in a variety of assignments, including trade negotiations with the USA on beef and citrus and Super 301 forest products between 1988 and 1990. He also served as a department director in Oita Prefecture, 1990 through 92. In 1987, he visited Sri Lanka twice in designing an agricultural development program implemented under financial assistance from Japan.

Ueda is married to Kosugiko Hagiwara and is father of one daughter and one son. The Ueda's now live in Hodogaya-ku of Yokohama. Kosugiko was born in 1958 in the city of Kawasaki and her parents now live in Kannami-cho, Shizuoka.
