General Oahuoa Uye (commonly known as "The General") is a politician and former air force general who served as the incumbent Minister of Defence of the Oan Isles. He has served in this position since 2016 after being appointed by his brother - former Emperor Ehe - on the advice of former Prime Minister, Jonathan Dunes. He served in the same post under former Prime Minister Locklyn Le Roy, but left the Cabinet briefly before being reinstated under Prime Minister Maui Uye-Ahua in 2019.

He previously served as the Chief of Defence Staff of the Oan Defence Force and, prior to that, as Chief of the Air Force. His military career spans 40 years, starting in 1977, when he joined the military. His father was former Emperor Tamatea III. Because he was born outside of marriage, he was barred by the old Succession Law from becoming the heir to the throne. Thus, he is the older brother to former Emperor Ehe and the uncle to reigning Emperor Oahoanu. He is affiliated with the Pacifist Party and is commonly typified as a Conservative.
