[edit] About Me

I live and work in Tokyo as a Japanese to English translator. Since much of my work is in the field of international development, I tend to use Wikipedia quite often during work to double check proper nouns or otherwise confirm (well, mostly confirm) a bunch of other facts like the area of provinces in Thailand or the names of rivers in Bolivia. Whenever I come across little details that are wrong or altogether missing, I fix them. Other than that, I've been meaning to work on train stations and other aspects of Tokyo's geography, as well as contribute more to articles about literature or authors.


[edit] Translation

Once I find the time I hope to start translating more articles from Japanese that have yet to appear in English.
