Translator and Interpreter ( Japanese and English)

"Your readers won’t even realize it was translated — they’ll simply feel like it was written just for them." You want to communicate clearly and confidently with your Japanese or English audience — without the risk of awkward phrasing or misunderstood intent. But many translations miss the mark. Whether it’s for technical documentation, marketing content, or live interpretation, even small errors can confuse your audience or dilute your brand’s message. That’s where I come in. I’m a native Japanese translator and interpreter fluent in English (TOEIC:Business English test 960/990), with over 300 completed projects. I’ve worked with brands like BlueStacks, Shokz, and Board Games Maker.com, helping them build stronger connections through culturally precise, audience-aware communication. I’ve also served as an interpreter for The Patient Story (200K+ subscribers) , supporting interviews with cancer survivors — a role that required deep empathy, sensitivity, and clarity. With a background in Mechanical Engineering and hands-on experience in LCD and mechanical design, I bring added expertise to technical translations — making even complex content feel clear and natural to your readers. My Services: • Japanese ↔ English Translation • Onsite & Remote Interpretation • Technical Documentation Translation • Proofreading & Editing Why Clients Work With Me: • Precise, culturally adapted translations • Experience across gaming, tech, and manufacturing • Strong attention to detail and on-time delivery • Proven ability to match tone, style, and target audience Let’s work together to ensure your message doesn’t just translate — it resonates. Feel free to reach out and tell me about your project!
