Shohei H.

Japanese Translator | AI Data Annotation & Transcription Specialist

Hello, I’m Shohei, a Japanese data annotation and QA specialist with professional experience in AI and language-related projects. In Japan, I serve as the CEO of Zuiyo Inc., a company focused on AI data solutions and annotation services. However, on Upwork, I participate individually as a dedicated freelancer — focusing on delivering high-quality, detail-oriented annotation work. My strength lies in bridging English-speaking AI teams with accurate, culturally aligned Japanese data. I handle complex annotation workflows involving text, speech, and structured data — always ensuring consistency, precision, and contextual accuracy. 🔹 Core Expertise: • Japanese Text / Speech / Image Annotation • ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) Transcription • QA Validation and Consistency Review • Data Categorization / Tagging / Labeling 🔹 What I Offer: • Native-level Japanese fluency and linguistic precision • Clear and reliable English communication • Strong leadership background as a company founder • Commitment to long-term, high-quality collaboration I bring the mindset of a business leader and the discipline of a professional annotator. My goal is to contribute to projects that require both accuracy and responsibility — ensuring every dataset meets the highest standards. If you’re looking for a reliable, detail-driven Japanese data specialist, I’d be happy to collaborate.
