Our team
Six specialists spanning publisher judgement, native Japanese writing, SEO strategy, and white-label delivery—built for editorial .jp programmes, not vendor link lists.
Managing Director
Tokyo
Kenji founded Link Building Japan after a decade in Japanese media and SEO operations. He previously led publisher partnerships for a Tokyo digital agency serving international brands entering Japan. He sets engagement standards, reviews high-stakes publisher recommendations, and remains the primary contact for agency partners and enterprise clients.
Head of Editorial & Native Content
Tokyo
Yuki oversees all Japanese-language content production. A former magazine editor, she trains writers on keigo, house style, and the tone each publisher expects. She rejects briefs that read as translated marketing copy and works directly with clients on messaging frameworks before any article is drafted.
Publisher Relations Lead
Tokyo
Haruto manages relationships across national business media, regional titles, and specialist trade publications. He maps titles to client sectors, negotiates editorial calendars, and documents why a publisher clears—or fails—our assessment before outreach begins.
Senior SEO Strategist
Tokyo
Aiko translates Japanese search demand into link programmes. She analyses .jp backlink profiles, competitor citation patterns, and query clusters, then scopes whether editorial placements, contextual links, or digital PR will move the rankings that matter. She also leads reporting design for client and white-label packs.
Outreach & Campaign Manager
Osaka / Tokyo
Ryo runs day-to-day campaign delivery: pitch timing, revision cycles, and live-link documentation. Based between Osaka and Tokyo, he supports regional publisher outreach and keeps European and North American clients updated within their working hours without diluting editorial quality.
Client Success & Agency Partnerships
Tokyo
Mei coordinates briefs, approvals, and monthly reporting for end clients and SEO agencies on white-label retainers. She ensures publisher assessments and placement logs are clear enough for agency account teams to present in client reviews without exposing Link Building Japan unless requested.
