Uno Nobuo was a Japanese playwright, author, and kabuki playwright born in Honjo, Saitama, Japan. He was raised in Kumagaya, Japan, and later lived in Asakusa, Japan. He graduated from Kumagaya Middle School and the Department of Japanese Literature at Keio University.

After finishing middle school, he commuted to university from the branch office and continued to live there until 1944, devoting himself to playwriting.

In 1933, he made his debut with "Hitoyo." In 1965, he founded the personal magazine "Uno Nobuo Gikyoku," which continued until 1977.

In 1972, he became a member of the Japan Art Academy. He served as a director of the National Theatre for many years.
