Want to reach Japanese people—not just translate your content into Japanese? I’m a native Japanese translator, localization specialist, and content creator based in Japan, with 15+ years of professional experience. I help international companies and creators turn English content into Japanese that actually feels Japanese—whether it’s a website, app, YouTube video, social media post, or technical document. **Selected experience:** - Localization projects for Amazon, Apple, Cisco, Google, HPE, and DistroKid - Translator of three commercially published books in Japan - Japanese subtitles for Epic Games’ Unreal Engine video content - Lyric translation for internationally recognized artists including Radiohead, John Mayer, and Avicii But I don’t only translate content. I also create it. I run my own Japanese social media account around an extremely niche subject—traditional European scythes. I grew it organically from zero to 2,000+ followers in about five months, with one Reel reaching **370K+ views**. I handle concepts, filming, editing, captions, and community engagement myself. Community engagement is one of my strengths. My posts often generate lively comment sections, and I enjoy turning comments into real conversations—not just replying with a quick “Thanks!” How I can help you: - English → Japanese translation & localization - Website, app & UI localization - YouTube subtitles & localization - Japanese social media content - Short-form video creation & editing - Japanese community engagement - Japan market & audience research I’m particularly interested in projects where simply “translating the English” isn’t enough. My goal is to understand what you’re trying to communicate and find the Japanese words, tone, and format that will actually connect with people here. If you’re trying to bring your product, service, or content to Japan, I’d love to hear about your project.
