I was born in Hokkaido, located in the northern part of Japan.

After graduating from Tsuda-jyuku university with a degree in English Literature, I’ve received a master’s degree in education from the University of Texas at Austin, USA. Starting with PR translation for a Japanese newspaper in New York, I began on my career as a translator. I have received high praise for my localization work (making products and services into Japanese specifications) for GAFAM and world-renowned top companies.

So far, I have received orders from more than 45 clients not only in Japan, but also in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Romania, Israel, New Zealand, and other countries around the world.

I currently live both in Texas and Japan. I am very active in various fields, such as teaching Japanese at an American university, publishing books on English, translating and disseminating information about English on blogs and YouTube.
