Bio

I’m a localization project manager at Automattic. I have been involved in the Japanese WordPress community to help around translation/docs/WordCamps.

Polyglots global mentor
Japanese Team Locale Manager & General Translation Editor (GTE)

Interests

WordPress, Japan, Japanese, i18n, l10n, translation, blogging, cooking, traveling, parenting

WordPress Origin Story

After I switched my personal blog system to WordPress, I started helping out with Japanese documentation and support forums because there was so little information on WordPress in Japanese back then.
