  • COMMENT
    As a practicing CEO and lead translator at Tau Translation, I have accumulated more than 60,000 hours of Japanese–English translation experience over the past 18+ years. In 2021 alone, my own translation work generated approximately JPY 50 million (around USD 450,000 at the then exchange rate), with consistently positive client feedback and zero quality complaints.

    I have supported multinational and Japanese enterprises—including Fortune 500 companies—as well as universities and research institutions in Japan. My core expertise covers legal, business, marketing, medical, technical and academic documents between Japanese and English, with a focus on clear, accurate and context-aware communication for the Japanese market.
