Hi everybody! I’m Makoto. Starting November 7th, I’ll be succeeding Shingo as JAST’s project manager and community liaison. Some of you may know me from the games I’ve translated, such as Saya no Uta and the common and Al routes of Demonbane. Rest assured that I will be working hard to ensure the quality of all our localization projects in the future.
To tell you a little bit about me, I’m a native New Yorker who went to Stuyvesant High School and studied Japanese at the University of California, Berkeley. My hobbies are, as you might expect, dominated by Japanese fiction, though recently I’ve been watching less anime and reading more novels, manga, and VNs. I’m also entirely too fond of enka music.
I’m very excited to be taking a more forward role in the effort to bring visual novels to the West, and hope that you will all continue to support JAST as you have thus far. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
