Native to Shiga Prefecture, I spent 12 years working and studying in Michigan, USA. After completing my studies at Eastern Michigan University, where I obtained an MA in Linguistics, I focused on intercultural communication research during my graduate studies. Building on this foundation, I went on to work on diverse projects, both in Japan and internationally, with esteemed manufacturing companies like Nissan Motor Corp. and Panasonic Japan. In 2013, I took the leap to establish 3Chroma, providing vital support to small to medium-sized companies of various industries in overseas operations, project optimization, facilitating effective communication and marketing & promotion. Additionally, I ventured into the tour industry by founding Biwako Backroads, an initiative aimed at showcasing the captivating rural charm of Japan.
