What I'm looking for
I’m a Japanese freelancer with 15+ years of business experience, trusted for clear, natural communication in English without relying on translation tools. My strength is turning Japanese and English into polished results that fit the purpose, audience, and tone of each text.
Since 2011, I’ve worked as a freelance Japanese-English translator specializing in business documents and creative works. I deliver refined, persuasive translations by carefully adapting vocabulary and tone to what each client needs.
I also direct e-commerce web operations (English/Japanese) from content localization to SEO and advertising management, including site architecture and cross-border e-commerce for the U.S. and European markets. Previously, as a corporate sales representative, I sold web services such as website development, system integration, CMS implementation, and promotional solutions—successfully managing transactions with hundreds of clients.
