Co-founder of the Japanese to English translation firm, Maplopo (maplopo.com). Throughout her childhood and young-adulthood, Reiko developed a deep-seated fascination for language and literature. Carrying that curiosity with her to the United States, she studied linguistics at San Diego State University, later returning to Japan, and settling in Kobe. As co-founder of Maplopo, she enjoys working with Doc Kane translating classic and new Japanese literature for a worldwide audience. The distilling of these difficult-to-translate works into English is a passion of hers, and unlocking the perspectives of classic Japanese authors for a wider audience is always propelling her and her work forward.
