About me
Based in the UK, I specialise in Japanese creatives and animation. I have been producing advertising films in Japan and the UK and have an extensive understanding and connection with Japanese animation industries. I have delivered high-profile projects in collaboration with Japan's top anime studios, such as Production IG and Trash Studios in the past. After building a solid career as a production manager at Nexus Studios London, which has a worldwide reputation for award-winning and creative excellence, I have been freelancing in the UK for many projects requiring Japanese expertise.Born and raised in Tokyo and previously worked at McCann Erickson UK, I hope to bridge my cultural and creative understandings of Japan and the UK to many global projects.
