Field Fabulist of the Femme Fatale.

She  attends the PhD in Creative Writing program at Ohio University.




Based between Japan and the US, her writing investigates the absurdities of the lives of modern Japanese women.

She is currently at work on stories set in the aftermath of the great East Japan tsunami, some fantastical, all strange, about healing at the intersection of individual and collective trauma.

“Mating App” a story about a desperate lawyer who misuses a dog breeding app to date humans is forthcoming in the Bennington Review. 

Her stories of betrayal, desire, and loneliness ask to what extremes would one go in pursuit of a dream? What does it mean to belong to more than one culture? How can one perform as oneself in work and in a family? What is AI’s influence on loneliness? What is power, and who gets to wield it? And, finally, what are the long lasting effects of a national disaster?

She holds an MFA in fiction from the Bennington Writing Seminars and a BA in economics from Sophia University in Tokyo. 

She is an editor for Cult*, an art and counterculture magazine. In Tokyo, she runs the writer’s collective Etocetora.
Her writing has appeared in Sony ECHOS, Bloomberg News, Taipei Times, and others. 

She has worked in education, investment banking, journalism, and tech.
