Giving people a memorable voice

After working as an announcer for Nagoya TV and Tulip TV, I am now a freelance announcer.  I work as a reporter, narrator and radio personality, mainly for TV and radio stations. My motto is ‘to narrate as if I’m telling a story’, where I am known for my expressive ability to use different voice tones and intonation. In December 2024, I won the first prize in the “Reading by Japanese Narration” category of an international narration contest, expanding my activities worldwide.
