About

About Japan Legible

Japan Legible helps overseas teams understand the Japanese market, choose the tools they need, and build a credible path into Japan.

We publish original market analysis, practical entry guides, and independent software comparisons for companies entering Japan. Our work begins with Japanese-language sources and ends with clear decisions an international team can act on.

Who runs this site

Japan Legible is run by Kaito Yoshizumi, a Japanese native who designs and ships software and builds Japanese websites end to end. Research is read in Japanese and reported in English. It is an independent, one-person practice: you talk directly to the person doing the research, the testing, and the build.

The practice

  • Native Japanese, working English. Research is read in Japanese, reported in English.
  • Based in Japan. Tests run against the Japanese web, Japanese payment habits, and Japanese buyers—from inside the market.
  • Builder, not broker. Sites, benchmarks, and validation experiments are built in-house.
