Kamado Ueshita

Kamado Ueshita is the Eighth diary owner. A large woman, Kamado runs the "Mother's Village" orphanage in Sakurami City and has been raising orphans for at least fourteen years, among them being Marco Ikusaba, Ai Mikami and Orin Miyashiro. The least harmful of the twelve Future Diary owners, Kamado has no interest in becoming God, but would like the winner to make the world a better place for children. She has the "Blog Diary", which is able to create the Apprentice Diaries for people not directly involved in the survival game.

Personality
Kamado is a portly woman with an oversized head, and she always wears a chef's hat and apron over her clothes. Having cared for and raised numerous orphans over the years including Marco Ikusaba, Ai Mikami and Orin Miyashiro, Kamado is a perfect motherly figure and is loved by all of her orphans who form an army for her during the survival game. She is very kind, caring, polite and pacifistic, being the most harmless of the twelve diary owners and the only owner who does not engage in physical combat aside from John Balks. She has little to no interest in playing the game or becoming God, however, her children want to her to win the game and will do anything to protect her. It is implied that Kamado's one reason to possibly become God is to make the world a better place for children so they would not have to worry about things. She loves children in general, showing concern for those not in her care like Yukiteru Amano and Aru Akise.

Apprentice Diaries
Kamado's Future Diary is the Blog Diary, appearing as a computer server which she keeps on her person at all times, strapped to her body under her clothes. The diary is probably the most unique out of the Future Diaries, possessing an ability to give anyone with a phone and a connection to Kamado's sevrer the power of a Future Diary. These are known as "Apprentice Diaries".

Kamado runs an internet blog service where most of her Apprentice Diary owners gain their diary powers from. The Apprentice Diary owners are not harmed by the more deadlier rules of the survival game, living on if their diaries are broken. However, if Kamado's diary is destroyed or if the local communication links are cut off, then the diaries will be rendered useless.

When teaming up with John Balks, the power of Kamado's diary is augmented when she connects it to the supercomputer Holon III, giving everyone in Sakurami City with a phone the power of Future Diaries, throwing the city into chaos.

Several Apprentice Diaries are shown throughout the series:
 * The Unbeatable Brawler Diary - Used by Marco Ikusaba, predicts how a person will fight Marco and how he will defeat them.
 * The Flirting Diary - Used by Ai Mikami, predicts the men Ai will flirt with.
 * The Detective Diary - Used by Aru Akise, predicts the predictions of the real Future Diaries, even when their futures are altered.
 * The Friendship Diary - Used by Hinata Hino, predicts the conversations her friends will have.
 * The Hinata Love Love Diary - Used by Mao Nonosaka, predicts Hinata's actions in a rather sexual manner, paying a lot of attention to Hinata's breasts.
 * The Kosaka King Diary - Used by Ouji Kosaka, predicts Kosaka's achievements. He later gains a second one called the Neo-Kosaka Kign Diary, which adds on the achievements of Kosaka's friends.

Yuki's Kidnapping
Kamado debuted with the other diary owners at the beginning of the story, although she is not seen for a while.

Kamado becomes aware of Yukiteru Amano's kidnapping at the hands of Yuno Gasai. With Kosaka as a user of her blog system, Kamado was able to identify Yuki and Yuno and gave Kosaka the powers of an Apprentice Diary. Kosaka was able to help rescue Yuki, who abandoned Yuno with his friends. Now knowing their identities, Kamado sent Marco, Ai and Ta-kun to intercept Yuki and Yuno, presumably to either capture of kill them. Orin informed Kamado of Kosaka's actions, Kamado busy pulling vegetables out of a vegetable patch. Kamado calmly concludes the situation is going well, and she goes off to scold a boy harassing a young girl.

The Sakurami Tower
Kamado's identity is quickly learnt by Yuki's group, and they make a plan to cut off her diary's ability to create Apprentice Diaries. Operating from Kosaka's house, Kosaka and Akise successfully shutdown Kamado's diary by turning off the power of a communication tower near Kosaka's house. However, Marco and Ai, being diary owners, are unphased by Yuki's plan and they successfully strip Yuki and Yuno of their diaries, but let them live.

Masumi Nishijima approach Kamado and Orin with a search warrant to look through the orphanage for Marco and Ai, unaware that they are at the Sakurami observation tower with Yuki, Yuno and Kurou Amano. Nishijima eventually learns of the situation at the tower, guessing Kamado's co-operation was a decoy for Marco and Ai to attempt to take out Yuki and Yuno. However, the tower collapses and Marco and Ai are killed, Kamado's reaction is not seen.

Allies and Enemies
By the time Yuki joins the game, only five diary owners remain including Kamado. John Balks, the Eleventh diary owner, convinces the city council to order the closure of Kamado's orphanage in order to put her at a disadvantage. At the final gathering between the remaining diary owners, Yuki reveals to the others of Balks' identity, much to Kamado's surprise and vows to kill him to avenge his parents.

A couple of days later, Yuki, Yuno and Kamado all form an alliance to eliminate Balks. Waiting for Balks to pass by on a country road, Yuki learns from Orin that Kamado has never once stated she wants to become God, but counters her belief by explaining the orphans want her to become God. Balks passes by, his car driven by Nishijima. Two orphans stop Balks car by faking a toll pass, allowing Yuki and the army of Apprentice Diary-wielding orphans to charge down the hill to ambush Balks and his men. However, thanks to his Watcher Diary, Balks learns of Yuki and Kamado's alliance and uses an EMP-like device in his car to block out the Apprentice Diaries.

In their moment of vulnerability, Yuki turns on Kamado and the orphans, apologising and promising to grant their wishes when he becomes God. He and Yuno begin to kill the orphans, Yuno decapitating Orin and then killing Ta-kun, who tells the horrified Kamado to flee. Kamado escapes down the hill, Nishijima and Balks allowing her to clamber into their car, leading to a car chase. Kamado angrily blames Balks for her orphans' deaths, but Balks states that she has no one to blame but herself, telling her his diary cannot be beaten. The two are chased by Yuki and Yuno down the highway, until Yuki rams Balks' car off an overpass onto a road below where he and Yuno confront him. However, Balks and Kamado are able to escape when Minene Uryu and Aru Akise arrive with accusing evidence that Yuno is an imposter.

Later, Minene learns Balks is at the city's university and eavesdrops on a conversation between him and Kamado. Balks asks Kamado to relinquish her Blog Diary in order for his plan to succeed. Kamado partially undresses, revealing her server is strapped to her body. Balks, being a gentleman, covers Kamado with his jacket, much to her surprise. He then proposes his winning plan - to attach Kamado's diary to the supercomputer Holon III, in order to give everyone in Sakurami City who has a phone the powers of the Apprentice Diaries, hoping to form a superior race of humanity with him as their leader. Kamado does not openly object to the plan and goes along with it, although Minene's position is revealed and she flees knowing Balks' plan. She tries to destroy the supercomputer but learns there are two other terminals in Balks' business towers.

Minene, Nishijima, Hinata, Mao, Kosaka and Akise all join forces to stop Balks' plan, Yuki and Yuno joining them to kill both Balks and Kamado. Yuno breaks into one of the terminal rooms to kill Kamado, only to be blindsided by Akise who flees from the building with Kamado and Yuki's friends, whilst Minene and Balks are eliminated from the survival game.
