I specialize in providing interpreting services within the realm of theater and film.

Since childhood, I’ve loved immersing myself in the characters of stories, leading me to approach interpretation with the dedication to “playing the shadow” of the person I interpret for.

Whether it's capturing the rhythm of their speech or conveying their emotions through gestures and expressions, my aim is to channel the energy emanating from their very being into words, all while maintaining a sense of authenticity.

Furthermore, in the capacity of on-set interpretation, where cast and crew unite to craft a production, I meticulously discern the directors' intentions, enabling the cast to unlock their fullest potential.

My ultimate goal is to foster effective communication and mutual understanding among people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I firmly believe that even these modest efforts can contribute to global harmony.
Through the power of language, I endeavor to bridge the gap between Japanese and global entertainment.
