a.k.a. Suzu Suzunomiya. A freelance Japanese game translator and a fun artist.
A member of Institute of Translation and Interpreting (UK), Pragmatics Society of Japan.

Having experience in game translation for 14 years as a freelance game translator, I works for translating text mostly used in game industry. The translation style comes from my experience in game development, marketing, text writings and story/novel writings, and highly appreciated by clients who favors creative style translation.

Specialities

- Story-based games / Novel games with novel style in Japanese
- In-game text, Store text, Marketing text, Advertisement text
- Seasoned experience in instructions and marketing text for Casino, iGaming, Crypto iGaming

I always value the intention and the context of original text, 
which often translated into Japanese in creative and natural way.
