Bilingual EN/JP interpreter, subtitle creator, spokesperson, UGC actor & voice actor.
Hi! I'm Shogo 🏯
Bilingual EN/JP creative professional
I'm a Japanese American on a mission to connect cultures and foster understanding through language and performance. With roots in both Japan and the United States, and a transformative 14-month backpacking journey post-military service, I've always been captivated by our diverse world.
As an interpreter, I've facilitated high-level combat training sessions between the Japanese Self Defence Force and the U.S. Army, and provided language support across diverse sectors including IT, medicine, investment, and real estate.
In voice acting, I've lent my bilingual talents to various projects, conveying messages from global clients to Japanese audiences and helping Japanese businesses reach the global stage.
As an actor & spokesperson, I represent companies seeking to tap into the Japanese market or expand globally — creating engaging content that resonates across cultures.
