I’m a Tokyo-based Documentary Filmmaker, Director of Photography (DP), and Local Producer with over 15 years of experience in international documentary, television, and corporate video production.

I’ve worked on productions for ARTE, France Télévisions, NHK, CBC, The New York Times, and international production companies, collaborating closely with overseas directors and crews filming across Japan.

My expertise includes directing and filming interviews, cinematic B-roll, location scouting, production coordination, securing filming permits, and managing local crews. I have extensive experience working with international teams and handling productions from pre-production through filming and delivery.

I work with professional Sony cameras, Sound Devices audio equipment, DJI gimbals, and professional lighting systems, allowing me to provide high-quality interview and B-roll footage with a compact, efficient crew.

I’m fluent in Japanese and English and can support international clients with both the creative and logistical aspects of filming in Japan.

Whether you need a cinematographer, a local production partner, or a complete interview and B-roll shoot in Tokyo, I can help deliver a smooth, professional production.
