Claim your profileDuring my 10 years working for American newspapers, I've written about various topics from crime and politics to pop culture and sports. Fluent in English and Japanese, I now specialize in writing about Japan and its culture for American audiences and vice versa. I've won journalism awards for my reporting on Southern California’s housing crisis and the influence of super PACs on local elections. My articles have been featured in prominent news outlets in the U.S. and Japan. My articles on American politics, society and culture are frequently ranked among the most read news stories in Japan. I also appear on major TV and radio shows in Japan to discuss my reporting.
