Hello! I’m a native Japanese freelancer specializing in Japanese translation, script writing, and voice recording. I help clients create natural, easy-to-understand Japanese content for videos, blogs, social media, apps, and marketing materials. My services include: - English to Japanese translation - Japanese localization - Voice recording in natural Japanese - AI-assisted content production I focus on creating content that sounds natural to Japanese audiences, not just direct translation. I can also adjust tone and wording depending on your target audience and project style. I value clear communication, fast response, and reliable delivery. Feel free to contact me anytime. I look forward to working with you! My Relevant Experience: YouTube & Shorts Subtitling: I have extensive experience creating English and Japanese subtitles for YouTube and YouTube Shorts. I am well-versed in adjusting timing, character limits, pacing, and on-screen placement to maximize viewer retention. Game Localization: I have successfully localized Chinese video games into Japanese. This role required deep adaptation of character nuances, UI constraints, and context—skills that perfectly translate to correcting MT subtitles for movies, documentaries, and series. Availability: I am available for 20 hours per week and can easily commit to the regular, consistent workflow required for this long-term project.

I am a freelancer currently residing in Kyoto, Japan and also a support staff member in the real estate field. Although I have only recently started studying real estate, I work alongside a partner who has been operating a real estate business in Kyoto for over 50 years. I currently assist this real estate company as an interpreter for Japanese and Chinese, helping to make the Japanese real estate market more accessible to foreign clients. I specialize in properties located in the Kyoto area and can focus on finding properties that are available for purchase by foreign buyers, based on your requirements. While I am proficient in interpreting Japanese and Chinese, my English skills are limited, so I would appreciate your understanding regarding my use of translation tools or AI translation services when necessary. I am eager to take on various projects, meet diverse clients, and expand my experience in the field. I look forward to using my skills and connections to assist you with your project!
