I was raised in the bustling city of Tokyo, Japan and completed my academic journey with a literature degree from Waseda University. At the age of 50, I understand that acquiring a new language can be an arduous task that requires immense patience. Over the years, I have imparted knowledge to students of diverse age groups ranging from 8 years old to well over 60, including those with autism, dysgraphia, dyslexia, intellectual disability and memory impairment. While I'm not a specialist in these areas, I have honed my skills in catering to each student's unique needs with my carefully crafted curriculum and personalized worksheets.
We can delve into popular anime and manga like Gibri, Demon Slayer, DGB or even explore the world of city pop music together. Additionally, I offer combined lessons on language and guitar to learn Japanese songs. Should you have any questions or interests, do not hesitate to contact me anytime. I firmly believe in listening to my students' interests and aspirations to enhance their learning experience.
All lessons are exclusively available online. Feel free to avail a 30-minute sample lesson and consultation via internet, phone, or FaceTime free of charge. Let's make learning a fun and engaging journey!

Akira's professionalism, communication skills, and friendliness have been exceptional. As our son prepares to take Japanese in high school next year, Akira has provided him with lessons this summer to get a head start. Akira gave us comprehensive guidance on the necessary workbooks, online tutorials, and our son enjoys the lessons. I highly recommend Akira.

Over the past couple of months, I have been studying Japanese under Akira's guidance. I enjoy the flexible pace that Akira sets to match my learning abilities. As it's necessary for acquiring proficiency in a foreign language, the study has already become a regular routine for me. The lessons delivered by Akira are engaging, varied and stimulating, which makes the learning process an absolute pleasure.

My son had a fantastic time during his initial Japanese lesson. As he is going to travel to Japan soon, we desired him to grasp the language. Akira is an exceptional Japanese teacher. I strongly suggest his tutoring.
