I’m just one person! Not a group. But one very passionate person for translation and localization (and Fire Emblem!). Out of privacy concerns (and being generally shy), I do not give away much of my personal information here. For professional contact/business inquiries, please email me on the address listed on the “contact” page.

A bit of background: I hold a B.A. in Japanese Studies and lived in Japan for several years, and this website serves as an informative online portfolio of my Japanese to English translation works. I also have JLPT N2 certification (not that it means much…).

I sometimes use digital editing programs to implement my personal translations onto media such as scans when applicable, too. In the case of manga and magazine articles, I handle all the cleaning and typesetting in addition to translating.

Basically, it’s a lot of work. But it sure pays off seeing how many people it makes happy. : )

Samples of my work can be seen here, and a list of long-term projects I have done can be seen here.

Some of the work I do may come in handy for curious fans who are willing to take a deeper look into the Japanese side of video games they love, too! That is why this blog is public rather than a private portfolio.

I also make “comparison” articles on Japanese and English game texts as a way to show readers and myself how the localization process works –much like the inspirational Legends of Localization. 

Please feel free to leave comments or feedback, or to email me on the address listed on the contact page.

For those wondering, the lovely site mascot there on the side (above the search bar) is Lilina, Princess of Ostia in Fire Emblem: the Binding Blade. A favorite character and game of mine. I often draw her on my banners, seen below.
