(Services)Three disciplines

Three disciplines. One local voice.

From the words on the page to the market you’re entering, every service is built around one question: will this feel native to the people reading it?

Localizationローカライズ

I adapt your content so it reads as if it were written for each market from day one — tone, idiom, formality and cultural context included.

What’s included

  • Website & app localization (EN ⇄ JP)
  • Transcreation for marketing, ads and taglines
  • UX writing & microcopy
  • Glossaries, tone of voice & style guides
  • In-context linguistic QA

Ideal for — SaaS and D2C brands launching in Japan, and Japanese companies building an English-language presence.

UI/UX DesignUI/UXデザイン

Japanese and English pages behave differently — density, line-breaking, hierarchy, trust signals. I design interfaces that respect both.

What’s included

  • Bilingual UI & web design
  • Japanese typography & layout (line-breaking rules, font pairing)
  • User research & usability testing with native speakers
  • Landing pages & website builds
  • Design systems that scale across languages

Ideal for — products whose interface has to work in both languages without feeling translated.

Market Entry市場参入支援

Before a single word is localized, I help you understand the market — who you’re talking to, who you’re up against and how to stand out.

What’s included

  • Market & competitor research
  • Customer insight & personas
  • Positioning & messaging
  • Local SEO & keyword research
  • Channel strategy (e.g. LINE, X, note, Instagram)
  • Launch roadmap

Ideal for — teams validating Japan, or an English-speaking market, as their next move.

(Pricing)Estimates & FAQ

Every project is different — so is every quote.

I don’t publish fixed prices. Share your goals, scope and timeline, and I’ll come back with a tailored estimate.

Which languages do you work in?

English and Japanese — in both directions.

Do you use AI or machine translation?

AI can speed up research and first drafts. Every final word is reviewed and refined by me — a native Japanese speaker fluent in English — with both cultures in mind.

Can you work with our existing team or agency?

Yes. I can plug into your design, development or marketing team, or lead the project end to end.

How do we get started?
