Portfolio - EtoJ Game Translator　Yuta Kurosawa

About me

History

After graduating from a university in United States, he started a business as a freelance translator determined to work in the gaming industry he was passionate about. Since then, he has involved with 30+ EtoJ localization, mainly indie games, for translation, proofreading, LQA (linguistic playtest), and so on. He believes that the localization should not be directly translating word by word, and he tries his best to achieve that goal.
