Software engineer based in Japan, building data tools for Japanese-language content — an area where generic scrapers and extractors often fall short.

• Japanese-first data extraction — tools that correctly handle Japanese date formats (2026年7月3日 → 2026-07-03), Shift_JIS encoding, and Japanese site structures (note, Zenn, news sites, blogs)
• Lightweight, fast Actors: standard-library HTTP, no headless browser, low memory footprint — designed to keep your usage costs down

• JP Article Extractor  — extract structured metadata (title, description, OG image, ISO-normalized publication date, excerpt) from Japanese article URLs
