Need Tokyo based Japanese native (with English ability) to join a games publisher

Hi all,

We had an opening appear in our company for a Japanese native in Tokyo.
The job role is a game project coordinator working with localization companies, testing companies, and developers from around the world.
We need the candidate to speak English (does not have to be perfect) as there will be a bit of translating/interpreting.
Othere aspects are PR , advertising, game design , directing.
Preferably young as this is an entry position.
They do not need game industry experience.
Ideally this person will have an interest in games (though is not essential we think it will help).

It is surprisingly hard to find someone (we used careercross and some agents)!

Hopefully my fellow Assemblers know of someone.
We need a person ASAP.

 

Just bumping this ! We also dont need perfect english - > Japanese is the main !

 

If it was the other way round I would jump at this. Sadly, my proficiency is with Jp>Eng

 

If I knew Japanese I would jump on this (and move to Japan)

out of curiosity, are you specifically looking for a Japanese person or anyone living in Japan (or willing to move?)

 

Specifically for a Japanese person , the reason being we pick up games to localize and release in Japan.
A non native cannot 100% get the nuances in Japanese language and also Japanese perspective with regards to graphics.
For example if that foreign person like myself tries to write the text on the back of a manual for Japan release it may come out really strange.
