About me

Originally from osaka, lived in the states for 12 yrs then my dog and I moved to Japan last year. I am chatty and fun-loving who enjoys living in the big city and traveling whenever I can. Love animals especially dogs. Current interests include read more books, practice yoga and web programming. I watch a lot of movies and listen music or read some books on my commute to work. My favorite TV shows were Friends and Sopranos (I miss HBO...).

I always work very hard to make my dreams come true. But at same time, I have met many people who helped me to make my wish comes true in the past. Moving to the states alone then working succusessfully in the states were something I am proud of and also I thank so many of my friends in the states (especially my host family in HS and old roommates) who helped my experience wonderful and supported me through the difficult time.

My next plan is to move to another country again in few years, and I will work hard again to make my wish come true :) Until then, I want to experience Tokyo as much as I can.

I work at Opera Software's Quality Assurance dept. in Tokyo.
