Hi! My name is Takanori. I'm a native Japanese speaker who was born and raised here in Japan. In my twenties, I had the opportunity to live and work in the United States. Since returning to Japan, I've been teaching English to children and volunteering as an interpreter.
I've also lived in South America, and I remain actively involved in global cultural exchanges. This experience has instilled in me a deep understanding of the cultures and customs of many different countries.
My skills extend beyond Japanese and English. I can also translate between Portuguese, English, and Japanese. I have experience translating websites from English to Japanese, and I'm confident in my ability to handle a wide range of projects.
I offer complete project management from start to finish, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Regular communication is essential to me, so I encourage you to keep in touch throughout the process.
