Since 2011 he plays for the Nikkō Ice Bucks. He previously played between 2009–2011 for the Asia League Korean team High1 and, at university level, for the Waseda University. During the 2014–15 season Ueno scored 80 points to lead the Asia League in scoring (while tied with Michael Swift in points, Ueno had more goals and was therefore credited as the scoring leader); this made him only the second Asian player to win the scoring title in the league, after fellow Japanese Go Tanaka in 2010–11.[1] He has played for the Japanese national team since 2006.
