I help global companies understand and adapt to the Japanese market through brand research, market-aware content review, editing, localization, proofreading, app feedback, and localization QA.
My background is in commercial publishing, magazine editing, English/Japanese editorial work, and localization. I support projects that need not only accurate Japanese, but also market context, brand perception, cultural fit, and clear editorial judgment.
My focus is on producing natural, accurate Japanese for digital, product, SaaS, app, marketing, and technical content while preserving code, product names, UI terms, and structured English elements where needed. This includes MT review, AI-assisted translation review, proofreading, and localization QA.
I have also coordinated bilingual editorial and localization projects, including timelines, review cycles, feedback handling, and production workflows.
Representative examples include The Will to Keep Winning by Daigo Umehara and Sphero Complete Guide, both featured in my Upwork portfolio. These projects required not only editing and localization, but also reader understanding, brand context, positioning, and clear editorial strategy.
I also led two iOS app projects in the publishing industry from concept to official App Store release, and have provided app testing and user feedback for a U.S.-based social app.
This background allows me to support Japanese market projects not only as an editor, but also as a reviewer of content, UI text, usability, cultural fit, brand perception, and release readiness.
I also support Japan travel, cultural, technology, education, and brand-related projects through English/Japanese copy, localization QA, market-aware editing, and cultural storytelling.

Hi, I'm Kensuke, a native Japanese speaker based in Japan.
Are you struggling with unnatural AI-translated Japanese?
AI translation tools are great, but they often produce stiff, unnatural, or slightly impolite Japanese that can turn off your target audience. That's where I come in!
I specialize in manually proofreading, editing, and polishing AI-generated text to ensure it reads perfectly naturally to a Japanese audience.
What I will do for you:
Fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.
Correct unnatural phrasing and awkward sentence structures.
Adjust the tone (polite, casual, or business) to suit your audience.
Ensure the text makes sense in Japanese culture.
Why choose me?
As a native speaker currently living in Japan, I know exactly what sounds right and what doesn't. I am highly responsive, detail-oriented, and committed to helping your message reach Japanese people clearly and professionally.
Let’s make your Japanese text perfect!
