Tatsuya Nagatomo

- Conference Interpreter (Japanese/English) -

 

Hello.
My name is Tatsuya Nagatomo.
I am a conference interpreter (Japanese/English).

My interpretation motto is “Love, Gratitude and Bite-size Japanese Yokan cake”.

An interpretation service can be described as a once in a lifetime chance.
Everything has a reason. I believe I meet my client for a reason.


Every meeting with you is a precious once in a lifetime chance, and as such, I will do my best to help you in every moment of my service.


A scene of conference interpretation is a living creature. Of course, speakers can't always talk at the interpreter's convenience. A speaker’s sentiment keeps changing and something unexpected could happen anytime.


However, if you don't enjoy happenings or a feeling of immediacy you can't make a good interpreter. The most effective way to deal with them is putting your empathy (love) to your client.

 

This is my theme, "love and gratitude".

Although it is Yokan cake, I always keep it in my inner pocket because I want something very sweet after working hard.

 

I always work and offer support for your business at the scene of interpretation.
I look forward to working with you.

​

Tatsuya Nagatomo
