About me

I am a Tokyo-based TV Producer and Fixer. I run News Ink. LLC, a small bespoke production company.

My background is news and documentary on real life events and people who live through them. Throughout my 14-year career, I have always felt that there is so much to discover in reality. Through the lens, we can convey how much beauty there is to see, and there are incredible individuals and moments that open up new perspectives, emotions, and understanding. I have been fortunate to work with reporters, cameraman and directors who get to the essence of each story and feel passionate about conveying stories that are truly unforgettable.

I think our profession is very unique because we live our job and put our heart and soul into what we do. I am grateful for the wonderful teams that I have had the privilege to work with, and I will be dedicated to the success of your project.

News Ink. has an extensive network of experienced fixers, cameraman and crew. We also provide professional filming equipment and transport services.
