The People and Plan Behind Kirari Connect.

Originally from the United States, I now live in Tokyo and am studying Japanese. I have spent more than five years in sales and have helped small anime businesses with social media and day-to-day operations. I speak English and Vietnamese, and enjoy attending anime events around the world.

I started Kirari Connect because I have seen how much fans overseas value Japanese independent artists, while opportunities to buy official merchandise can be limited. I will bridge that gap by taking on the operations of approved merchandise and overseas sales. For existing artwork, artists will retain ownership and their creative identity.

Kirari Connect is still in development. I am meeting artists directly to learn what they want from an international licensing partner before the planned launch. I will build lasting relationships through open communication, transparency, respect for each artist's work, and shared growth.
