Born in Japan and living in the USA, I am a Japanese-English translator fluent in both languages, with a history of working in media. I have experience with voice work, broadcasting, announcing, as well as hosting television programs. I am constantly in touch with pop culture and the latest trends, and so I know how to communicate well to the general audience. I also have familiarity in media production, and so I understand how the various stages of production. At a Japanese media production company in New York City, I have interpreted for both languages, acting as a middle man between Japanese producers and American talents. In addition, I am able to translate plain text, video subtitles, video dubs, and even manga and games.
