Japanese descendant born in Brazil (Nisei) and a Portuguese native speaker, approved in Level 1 of Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), I am a sworn translator for Japanese/Portuguese registered in the Commercial Registry of the State of Pernambuco (JUCEPE), Brazil, and a professional translator and interpreter for Japanese, English and Portuguese.

Lawyer, graduated in Law from the University of Brasília (UnB) with Master of Laws (LL.M.) from Nagoya University, Japan.

Japanese government-financed student for two times, through the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of that country, I undertook graduate studies at Nagoya University as a research student, master’s student and doctoral student (the latter completed without dissertation).

I have lived in Japan for 13 years in total and during that period, for 9 years, I have taught Portuguese at three Japanese universities (Nagoya University, Gifu University and Nagoya University of Foreign Studies) and have published three Portuguese textbooks there.

Returning to Brazil in 2006, I resumed the work as freelance translator and interpreter of Japanese, English and Portuguese that I used to carry out before going to Japan.

With the approval in the Public Exam for Qualification of Sworn Translator for Japanese language, conducted by JUCEPE in 2011, my translations for Japanese/Portuguese have become public certified and endowed with ‘public faith’ (official validity) throughout Brazilian territory and abroad, in countries with which Brazil has concluded a documentary and diplomatic reciprocity agreement.

In 2015, I started my own company focused on translation and interpretation – SK InterCom – and since then, as a legally constituted company, I have started issuing electronic invoice ‘NFS-e’, which contributed to expand my range of clients.

Thus, considering the period before and after I lived in Japan, I have more than 37 years of experience in translation and interpretation between Portuguese, Japanese and English which are reflected on the credibility earned with my high-quality work.
