is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Machida Zelvia.[1]
Uno played football at the Aomori Yamada Junior High School, citing teammate Kuryu Matsuki as a rival, but also an inspiration to push himself harder.[2]
In November 2021, it was announced that Uno would join J2 League side Machida Zelvia for the 2022 season.[3]
In April 2022, Uno made his professional debut in a 1–1 league draw with JEF United Chiba, appearing as a second-half substitute for Takuya Yasui.[4] After a number of appearances from the bench, Uno started to make his way into the starting XI, but fractured his metatarsal in June which sidelined him for twelve weeks. He didn't make another appearance in the season, and ended making nine appearances in his debut season.[5] At the end of the 2022 season, he renewed his contract with Machida Zelvia.[6]
For the 2023 season, he made substitute appearances in the first three games of the season, before falling to another metatarsal injury which kept him out of action until July.[7] His comeback game was a 4–1 win in the Emperor's Cup second round against Yokohama F. Marinos. In October, he scored his first goal for the club, scoring twice in a 3–3 draw with Ventforet Kofu, which included a 97th-minute equalizer.[8] His goalscoring, alongside his tough tackling and distribution, earned him the J2 Monthly MVP award for October.[9] Uno ended up making 20 appearances across all competitions, helping Machida Zelvia become J2 League champions and promoted to the J1 League.
