I'm relatively new to editing Wikipedia but have quickly started to love writing about various topics which interest me. I am mostly focused on Japanese culture and locations in Kyushu. I have had a particular focus on the Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita which is where I currently live.

I can also speak and read Japanese. I have worked on expanding English pages that have far more extensive Japanese counterparts. I have also been adding sources in Japanese to various articles when English sources are not available.

I've uploaded several images and videos to Wikimedia Commons, adding several of them to articles on both Japanese and English Wikipedia. I've attached some of them below.

  Umi Jigoku or "Sea Hell" at the Hells of Beppu

• 
  A torii at Futago-ji on the Kunisaki Peninsula. Torii are typically found at Shinto shrines, but due to the Rokugo Manzan temples being the origin of shinbutsu-shūgō, some elements of Shinto can be seen at these temples
• 
  Fūrin at Nyoirin-ji
• Kara-usu water scoops used for making Onta ware in Onta, Oita
