Bio

English–Japanese Translator & Reviewer | Finance, FinTech, Crypto & Web3

I help financial services companies, crypto platforms, and technology businesses communicate clearly and naturally with Japanese audiences.

A native Japanese translator and reviewer with seven years of freelance experience, I specialize in content that requires both subject-matter knowledge and careful attention to the user experience—from trading interfaces and product documentation to compliance policies and marketing copy.

My experience includes working directly with major crypto exchanges and serving as a lead translator and reviewer. I also contribute Japanese translations to Ethereum.

SPECIALIST AREAS

• Finance & FinTech: Investor relations materials, market commentary, investment reports, FX, and financial products.
• Crypto & Web3: Exchange platforms, blockchain, DeFi, white papers, and product documentation.
• Legal & Compliance: Terms and conditions, business contracts, privacy notices, and AML/KYB policies.
• IT & Product Localization: UI strings, websites, help content, and user manuals.
• Marketing & Communications: SEO content, landing pages, press releases, case studies, blogs, and video subtitles.

WHAT I BRING TO YOUR PROJECT

Financial industry experience
Before becoming a freelance translator, I worked at a U.S. financial services firm, gaining practical experience in accounting, financial administration, insurance operations, and customer service. This background helps me understand the business context behind the text.

Consistency across content
I pay close attention to terminology, tone, and product context so that Japanese users encounter a consistent experience across interfaces, help articles, marketing materials, and legal content.

Natural, user-focused Japanese
My aim is to preserve the meaning and intent of the source while making the Japanese clear, readable, and appropriate for its audience. I adapt my approach to the content, whether it calls for concise UI wording, precise contractual language, or engaging marketing copy.

Technical understanding
My working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, together with hands-on WordPress experience, supports my work on websites and digital products.
