Naiki Sawada

Freelance Translator
Mikagehommachi

Summary

Hello. My name is Naiki Sawada. I am a freelance translator, mainly translating documents and sometimes making Japanese subtitles for foreign TV shows or movies in the past. My goal is to become a subtitle translator. I have officially made two new movies at movie festivals in Japan. The lists are below.


September, 2023 「Retro Gamers」at Kanazawa international film festival February, 2024 「Hell-bound judge」at Kyoto International film festival.


I have translated for about 10 years, so I am used to do it. I became a freelance four years ago. Besides translating, I will do anything which requires native Japanese skills. As I live in Japan, I can also help with work which need to be done here. Since I majored in western culture and languages at college, I am familiar with both western and Japanese culture. I relatively have time now, so I will be able to finish the work and respond quickly. I am looking forward to working with you. Thank you.
