I am a native Japanese speaker working on English-to-Japanese game localization.
I work on Japanese localization as a volunteer to help indie games reach Japanese players, especially games that are not yet available in Japanese.
Rather than simply replacing English text with Japanese, I focus on making the localization read naturally in-game while preserving each character's voice and the overall tone of the game.

Originally created as an unofficial Japanese localization mod, then adopted by the developer and included as the game's official Japanese localization.
Reviewed and proofread the Japanese Steam store page.
Handled translation, terminology management, and the implementation and adjustment of Japanese text in-game. The project also includes scripts and other work needed to implement the Japanese localization. Completed.
This is an unofficial, fan-made localization mod and is not an official Japanese localization by the game's developer.

If you are considering Japanese localization for your game, feel free to get in touch.
Send me some information about your game and what you would like help with. I will take a look at the game and the scope of the localization. If it is a project I would like to help with and the scope is something I can reasonably handle, I can help with the Japanese localization on a volunteer basis.
During translation, I may ask about context, character details, or other information that cannot be determined from the source text alone when necessary.
Whenever possible, I would also like to check the translated Japanese text in the game itself to make sure there are no problems with context, text display, UI, or other localization-related elements.
This is a personal volunteer activity, not a commercial translation service.
I genuinely love games and want to support the people who make them. If I can help a game I care about reach more players in Japan, I'm happy to contribute through Japanese localization.
For games that I have reviewed and would like to help localize, I do not charge a localization fee.
Commercial games are welcome. The game does not need to be distributed on Steam, and I am open to both games currently in development and games that have already been released.
If your game already has a Japanese localization, I may also be able to help review and improve the existing translation.
I do not limit myself to any particular genre. However, I cannot accept every project or request.
Credit is optional.
