Hello! I'm a sound designer and re-recording mixer. I was born and raised in Japan and currently living in Toronto, Canada. I grew up watching a lot of films and anime. I realized that I want to build a career when I was 19 since I started getting interested in cinematography and storytelling. So I decided to come to Canada to learn a film production. I studied Film and Television Production at Humber Polytechnic, Canada. I especially enjoyed sound editing through editing for a documentary, short films, and PSAs and it made me want to pursue a career in the post-production sound industry. While I was experiencing on set sound recording, boom operator, dialogue editing, sound effects editing, ADR and foley recording, and re-recording mixing, I found myself wanting to discover a love of sound design and re-recording mixing. I've been using Avid Pro Tools and Zoom H5 Studio for field recording to create my sound library.
