New to Japan?

Thinking about
launching in Japan?

If your product is doing well at home and Japan is the next big market — but you’re not ready to spend six figures on a consultancy — start here. I help foreign SaaS take the first real steps into Japan: sales-ready Japanese, the right positioning, and a plan to win your first customers.

The Japan Launch Kit —
your first customers, not just a translation

Built for foreign SaaS that’s ready for Japan but doesn’t have a six-figure budget. I take your product from “translated” to actually selling — the words, the positioning, and the first moves that win Japanese buyers.

Why Hiraki

Entering Japan—
without the six-figure price tag

Big market-entry consultancies are built for enterprises with big budgets. Translation vendors just translate. If you’re a small, growing SaaS, you need something in between — someone who knows both sides and can move fast.

🌐
Bilingual, on the ground
20 years between both markets. I talk to you in fluent English and write Japanese the way local buyers actually trust — not a translation vendor, not an outsourced team.

Built to sell, not just to read
