I have been working as a translator for various companies for 15 years, supported by a Japanese proofreader who is a 70‑year‑old retired Japanese businessman. Together, we provide high‑quality, accuracy‑focused translations between English and Japanese. Rather than offering literal, word‑for‑word translations, we deliver natural, beautifully written texts tailored to the needs of the reader. My experience spans brochures, packaging, websites, games, apps, video scripts, books, articles, lyrics, presentation slides, and more. We also specialize in official legal document translations—including birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other documents required for passport applications, PR applications, visas, and similar purposes. Each translation includes a certificate of translation accuracy and an official company seal, all at a very reasonable rate. In addition to translation, I am a creative writer with several books published on Amazon. I have extensive experience in SEO writing, with particular strengths in creativity and copywriting. I have also performed voiceovers in both Japanese and English (with a Japanese accent) for commercials, voicemail messages, corporate videos, games, animations, and more. Furthermore, I have been teaching Japanese to learners of all ages at private language schools for 15 years across several countries.
