Masao A.

I am a bilingual Japan-focused research analyst with 6 years of experience as a buy-side equity research analyst at Amundi Japan, covering Japanese listed companies across consumer, retail, transportation, electronic components, and related sectors. My core strength is reading Japanese primary materials, extracting business and market implications, and communicating complex issues clearly in English. I have experience in equity research, industry research, market-entry research, startup/technology scouting, financial analysis, and business model analysis. Since becoming independent, I have worked on research projects related to AI, robotics, fintech, digital assets, and Japanese startups for international clients. I can support projects involving: - Japanese market and industry research - Translation and summarization of Japanese source materials - Regulatory, policy, and business environment research - Company and competitor analysis - Financial and business model analysis - English-language research reports and memos for international clients I am particularly strong at turning fragmented Japanese-language information into clear, structured English insights for decision-making.
