Hire the Best Legal Translators
in Japan

Native Japanese speaker. Hands-on LLM practitioner. Deep knowledge of Japanese legal and regulatory language. Very few freelancers bring all three — and that intersection is where I work. ── AI & LLM Evaluation (Primary) ── I use Claude Code in production daily, building automation pipelines and evaluating LLM outputs across multiple projects. I've developed factual verification frameworks for Japanese AI-generated content — checking accuracy, coherence, cultural fit, and compliance-level terminology. I'm available for LLM evaluation, RLHF annotation, prompt engineering review, AI quality assurance, and red-teaming of Japanese outputs. Most Japanese-speaking freelancers don't have hands-on LLM development experience. Most LLM specialists aren't Japanese natives. I'm both — which means I can catch what neither group alone would catch. ── Regulatory & Legal Language (Secondary) ── I don't practice law. But I understand Japanese legal language at a depth most translators don't reach. I studied systematically through Japan's national Administrative Scrivener exam curriculum — covering civil law, administrative law, and regulatory procedure — which gave me precise command of the terminology used in contracts, compliance documents, government filings, and regulatory frameworks. For clients who need Japanese legal or regulatory content translated, reviewed, or localized with real terminological accuracy, I bridge the gap between linguist and subject-matter expert. ── Transcreation & Copywriting (Secondary) ── I've been writing English copy for BRODERIK, a New Zealand-based bag brand, on a continuous basis — email campaigns, product pages, and campaign concepts. This is live commercial work, not samples. It means I understand how English marketing language needs to be rebuilt — not just translated — to resonate with Japanese audiences, and vice versa. ── Availability ── Based in Osaka (JST). Available 30+ hours per week. I can cover both Japan business hours and overlap with US/EU morning slots. Share your project details and I'll respond the same day.

I built my career as a Japanese English business interpreter, supporting executives in high level negotiations and cross border transactions. Having been present in numerous deal discussions, distributor negotiations, and partnership talks, I understand how decisions are actually made in the room and how to move them forward. With over 15 years of international business experience across Japan, Europe, and Singapore, I now focus on helping global companies enter and expand in the Japanese market through practical business development and execution. As a USCPA licensed in Washington State, I have also been involved in professional advocacy and lobbying related activities, which has given me a deep understanding of Western communication styles, stakeholder management, and strategic positioning in the US and European business environment. My work goes beyond advisory. I execute. I have personally conducted cold calls and cold email outreach to secure new clients, identify distributors, and open doors for cross border partnerships. I understand how to approach potential partners, structure outreach messages, follow up effectively, and convert conversations into business opportunities.
