Bio

◆◆◆Background Summary◆◆◆

A freelance translator and interpreter.

Native in Japanese, born in Tokyo, and currently based in Rome.

B.A., major in International Relations and minor in Economics from a university in the United States (2003).

University Diploma in French language and cultures from a university in France (2019).

Numerous professional experiences in various industries in Italy and Japan for people from all over the world.


◆◆◆Style◆◆◆

I consider myself a linguistic artisan who carefully assembles words in an intelligent and heartfelt way and creates a bond between writers and readers or speakers and others.

We are all human, each one of us is different - therefore, my service is primarily make-to-order executed by me with my eyes, mouth, hands, my five senses (even with the sixth)...in an old-fashioned way.

Am I too behind the latest trend? I do not necessarily deny the upcoming further development of technology, and naturally handle post-editing projects as well.

Anyway, my mission is to craft the linguistic artwork, both in written and in oral method and hand it into my clients that understand the real value of my performance.
