Robin Griffin

Japanese-English Translator, Editor, Proofreader, Subtitler

My passion for Japanese language started early when I first picked up a Game Boy Color. I have since dedicated myself to the study of linguistics and Japanese language, and pride myself in creative translations that capture the meaning, intent, and impact of the source text. My free time is spent playing video games, exploring the greater Seattle area, and snuggling my cats.
