Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I have availability this month, and I’d love to hear more about your project.

How would you like to communicate? My email and Discord are listed on my profile, but I’m happy to use whatever works best for you if you prefer another tool.

Hey indie devs & creators! I’m a native Japanese writer, and I work in Japan as a scenario writer. I help indie projects make their Japanese text feel natural and characterful—especially for games and game-like experiences.

What I can help with

• EN → JP localization (translation + natural Japanese polishing)
• Polish Japanese dialogue (character voice, tone, rhythm)
• Improve UI/system text (clarity, consistency, natural UI phrasing)
• Consistency (names, terminology, honorifics, style: desu/masu vs da/dearu)

What I need

• Your text — paste it or share a Google Doc link
• A brief story summary
• Genre + the vibe you want (casual / serious / cute / dark, etc.)
• Deadline + approx. length (word/character count)

Output

• Natural Japanese text (with brief notes if helpful)
• Optional: a mini style guide (terms + tone)

About payment / availability

• For now, I’m only available for unpaid / volunteer collaboration.
• I won’t ask for payment later—this is strictly volunteer/unpaid.
• If your project has credits, I’d really appreciate a credit like: “Japanese Editing/Polish: Jin Sekinisi”.
• I have a day job + time zone differences, so replies may be slower during your active hours.
• I can usually handle one project at a time.

Why I’m doing this I’m doing this as volunteer collaboration to build experience in game localization, and because I genuinely enjoy shaping character voice in Japanese.

How to contact If you’re interested, please leave a comment first. I’ll reply, and then we can move to itch DM for details. (email also OK.)
