If you need English - Japanese content that is accurate, natural, and ready for publication, you're in the right place. I am a native Japanese translator and proofreader with over 20 years of experience working in a professional bilingual English–Japanese environment. For many years, I have been responsible for the translation, proofreading, photo editing, and layout design of a quarterly bilingual magazine, producing 60 full issues distributed in print. This means I don't just translate words. I deliver publication-ready content that reads naturally, fits the layout, and reflects your brand accurately in both languages.
