The 28-year-old Uno, who won silver at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics and bronze four years later in Beijing, quit competitive skating in May 2024.
He has said he is in a relationship with former world junior champion Honda, who had also previously announced her retirement from competitive skating.
The pair announced their comeback on social media, saying it was "game on" from next season.
