Yūka Kageyama is a Japanese actress, voice actress, and former idol known for her work in both live-action and animated productions. Born on May 8, 2001, in Tokyo, she began her entertainment career in 2016 as a first-generation member of the idol group Hiragana Keyakizaka46, which was later renamed Hinatazaka46. While still a member of the group, she balanced her artistic activities with her academic pursuits, graduating from the prestigious Tsukuba University High School.

Kageyama's entry into voice acting came in 2021 when she was cast as Ayame Ebina in the television anime series Farewell, My Dear Cramer. This role marked her official debut as a voice actor. Her involvement with the series was part of a broader role as the "support manager" for the anime project, which combined her passion for football with her burgeoning career in entertainment. This connection to football is a significant aspect of her public persona; she holds a fourth-grade football referee certificate and has demonstrated extensive knowledge of the sport, leading to appearances on football-related programs and earning recognition as a football expert in the entertainment industry.

Following her voice acting debut, Kageyama continued to build her portfolio in animation. In 2023, she made a guest appearance as a voice actor in the long-running anime series Case Closed, also known as Detective Conan. She played a fictionalized version of herself in an episode that centered on a J-League soccer match, further cementing the link between her public image and her football expertise.

Beyond her voice acting, Kageyama has pursued a varied career in acting and television. In 2021, she appeared in the live-action film Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Final, playing the character Miko Iino. She has also taken on roles in numerous television dramas, such as Spring Came, Octo ~Emotional Investigation Officer Shinohara Uru~ Second Season, and the 2025 series Mr. Teacher, among others. After several years as a member of Hinatazaka46, she graduated from the idol group in July 2023 to focus on her career as an actress and entertainer. Shortly thereafter, she joined the talent agency Ogi Pro.
