Translation Without 'Translationese'
I am a freelance English-to-Japanese and Japanese-to-English translator based in Osaka, Japan, with over a decade of experience. My work centers on nonfiction books, medical and pharmaceutical documents, and a wide variety of business materials.
Whether working with formal documents like contracts and academic papers or lighter, more accessible contents for general readers, I deliver flexible, nuanced translations tailored to the needs of both clients and target readers. I strive to faithfully convey the essence and intent of the source text, while rendering it with natural fluency—as though it were originally written in the target language.
In recent years, AI translation has advanced remarkably and is now sufficient in many cases. That said, as of 2025, I recognize there remain many types of documents and contents that require human expertise.
If AI translation between English and Japanese falls short of your expectations, I would be happy to assist. For inquiries or to request a free quote, please feel free to contact me via email or the contact form.
