TOKYO-BASED LINE PRODUCER / FIXER / RESEARCHER / COMMUNICATION FACILITATOR / STORY TRACKER

1999, Moved to California. I had finished my master's degree in Hospitality Administration & Tourism from Golden Gate University San Francisco and worked for Hyatt Hotel & Resort Group as sole Japanese speaking staff.

2005, Returned to Japan. I joined an overseas hotel online booking management firm in Tokyo as marketing manager/rooms buyer that gave me the opportunity to spend most of the time in a year travelling somewhere in the world for negotiating and contracting...And I believe that made me more strong international communicator with intercultural knowledge. Visited over 40 countries.

2010, Started playing independent. I, after few years of experience with another marketing director position, became a freelance-fixer providing interpretation and business facilitating support based mainly in Tokyo but cover all parts of Japan to deal with various different types of projects.

Now, I am delighted to provide "boutique but global" fixing and facilitating support for foreign journalists and photographers who have short -mid term visit to Japan where its known as one of the wonderlands in the world.

Speed, Accuracy and Loyalty... These "Ninja" moves (which I call) are promised. I will fully utilize my useful contacts here to make sure your project would be successful.

I have extensively gained my

experience in the international field

that I carry over to my work as ''Fixer''

today.

As a scuba-diving Instructor &

underwater video-grapher, I traveled

throughout the world and even gave

certification lessons in the Philippines,

Indonesia, and Hawaii as well as the

domestic prefectures in Japan.
