After graduating from Saga University of Arts in Kyoto, she worked as a lounge singer in her hometown. There, she was scouted by producer Fujiwara Hiroshi. She took on the unusual stage name of UA (a Swahili word that means both "flower" and "kill") and made her debut with the Fujiwara-produced "Horizon" under Speedstar Records in 1995.
In 2000, after two more albums, UA took a hiatus from her solo work and formed the band Ajico with Kenichi Asai. She resumed her solo activities in 2002. The same year, she made her acting debut as the leading role in the film "Mizu no Onna" and contributed to the soundtrack. The film went on to win the Golden Alexander Prize for Best Feature-Length Film at the International Thessaloniki Film Festival and was screened at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.
