Osaka, 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.

Hi, I’m Riko, a native Japanese speaker based in Japan. As a UGC creator, I produce short-form videos and digital content for both domestic and international audiences. I specialize in creating content that communicates naturally with viewers and resonates emotionally. I mainly work on UGC videos related to language-learning and AI apps, creating content tailored for the Japanese market with a focus on clarity, relatability, and engagement. In addition, I regularly research trends and user interests in the Japanese market through social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, allowing me to provide insights and suggestions from a user’s perspective. Drawing on my experience, I can also assist with translation and localization, adapting content into expressions that feel natural and appealing to Japanese audiences rather than relying on literal translations. Furthermore, I am available to support various tasks including translation, research, and administrative work. I pay close attention to detail and always strive to deliver high-quality work on time and with professionalism. I sincerely look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
