    ✔️Experienced English-Japanese Translator and Interpreter specializing in Translations and Proofreading with EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE. 👋Hello. I’m Kohei. I'm a translator and interpreter with over 12 years of experience. I'm fully bilingual and a native speaker of both English and Japanese and pride myself in offering professional and quality services. So if you need to accurately translate various types of documentation such as news articles, business e-mails, business contracts, legal documents, social media posts, video subtitles, research papers, government regulations, give me a shout! I have worked with ✨High Profile Clients/Organizations✨ in Japan, the USA, Canada, and the UK. Including the following to illustrate a few of them: ✅ Benesse ✅ Ajinomoto ✅ Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Fisheries (MAFF) ✅ US Army Corps of Engineers ✅ Naha District Prosecutor's Office ✅ Naha Tourism Association ☕️WHY CHOOSE ME OVER OTHER FREELANCERS?☕️ 🔹Responsiveness: I have been working remotely for over 7 years now so I understand the importance of regular and quick communication. As a client of Upwork myself, I've been burned one too many times by "hey sorry, I'll hand it in tomorrow." Deadlines are as important to me as they are to you. I avoid unrealistic deadlines and will be upfront about what I can handle. 🔹English Literacy Efficiency: Although technically my second language, English is one of the languages I am most comfortable with, as I have spent most of my life speaking English growing up in Ottawa, Canada. I did my schooling in Ottawa from elementary school to college in English and French. I got my TESOL certificate to teach conversational English, and have been doing so for over ten years in Okinawa, Japan, as well as translating. 🔹Japanese Literacy Efficiency: Japanese is my mother tongue. I was born in Okinawa and moved to Canada at a young age. There, I kept my language skill by going to Japanese hoshuko, as well as by reading and watching Japanese literature and media. In my mid-20s, I moved to Okinawa where I have been able to use my language skills to make a living for myself and my family. Eventually, I was able to start my own business in Okinawa which requires a lot of administrative and customer relation work, almost all of which require a high-level of Japanese proficiency. 🔹Extensive Experience: I have been a translator and interpreter for over 12 years working in English to Japanese and Japanese to English. Experienced working with high-profile clients/organizations and received great positive feedback. Wide range of translation fields: Education, Food Regulations, Games, Legal, Technical, Medical, and Social Media Marketing. 🔹Project Manager: I can manage large translation projects by hiring other translators. The MAFF project mentioned above involved over 7 translators from all over Japan and over 50 documents - all of which were about 60 pages in length! 🔹Other Skills: -Graphic design -Adobe Illustrator -Adobe Photoshop -Aegisub 🙋‍♂️I look forward to working with you, to provide reliable, consistent, and high-level translations and interpretations. Please contact me so we can discuss how we can work together to FULLY meet your business needs!

    Hi I'm Makoto, I was born in Shizuoka, Japan, and grew up within walking distance of Mt Fuji. 🏔️ While studying at Nihon University I moved to America to complete one year of study abroad at Roanoke College which helped immensely with my English, I then returned to Japan to finish my major in international relations. In 2015 I completed the internationally recognised TOEIC English language test with a score of 900 out of 990, since then i've had experience working in a Tokyo trading company for two years where I was responsible for translating high-quality reports into Japanese from international trading clients. Following that I lived and worked in many English-speaking countries including New Zealand, Fiji, and the UK working in many English only roles improving my skills even further and helping me learn local lingo. I have been translating professionally on Upwork since 2019. My experience is based on the following 💼 - Providing Professional translations from English to Japanese and visa versa. - Transcribing audio for various customers ranging from the Olympics to Anime. - Assisting clients with knowledge of the Japanese language. - Subtitling in English and Japanese.

    I am fluent in English, Japanese and Tagalog (Filipino). I do a lot of translation and content creation in those three languages. This is currently my field of specialization. I have translated everything from websites and mobile apps to technical documents, like patents and white papers. A great bulk of my work experience, however, lies in financial, legal and medical translation. I also do transcription and subtitling, and I am familiar with relevant software like Trados, Matecat, MarsEditor and Aegisub. I have recently moved to Thailand to study Thai, and I hope to add it to my skill set after a few years.

    My good friend once complimented regarding my translation, saying: "your translated sentences turn out really nice even if I put it back on Google Translate. I mean, even better than if I were to take random but formal Japanese or English texts from the internet and do the same. How to say... your words flow smoothly, like crystal clear stream." He was a little poetic, but I think that's saying something about my skills. I am a bilingual translator of Japanese and English, offering more than 5 years of experience in writing and translating in business. I have lived overseas most of my life, native in both English and Japanese with high social skills. My translating experience includes anything related to... - Importing and exporting - Medical needles and syringes - ISO (specifically ISO:13485 and ISO:9001) - Business contracts such as quality agreement and purchase agreement - General e-mail and conversational material Since I have experience of foreign and Japanese cultures, I am confident my work skills exceed just simple word-to-word translation, and am able to read between lines and deliver something that is more heart-felt quality. I believe, when boiled down, that is what brings "good" translation for smooth communication; not something an automated translation can do. On the side note I absolutely love to play video games (so much love for SNES) and I can talk for hours about it. I also love music and I listen to basically anything from Rammstein to Venetian Snares to Great Big Sea. For more information please feel free to contact me. I am open to anything and will be more than happy to help you.
