Independent writer and audio producer based in Sydney, Australia.

My articles, stories, commentaries, essays, reviews have been published in international print and online publications, including The Nihon Keizai Shimbun, RadioDoc Review, The Australian, Griffith Review, The Asahi Shinbun, The Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s website.

I’m involved in a collaborative project with creative audio producer and writer Natalie Kestecher called Strange and Beautiful Things, where we curate, create, showcase creative audio, stories and things that we think, are strange and beautiful.

Previously, I was a Japanese and English bilingual radio and print news journalist in Tokyo and Sydney, working for major Japanese, Australian, and North American news organisations.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Lands where I live, work, and pay my respects to Elders past and present. I extend that respect to all First Nations peoples.
