About

Indie iOS developer based in Tokyo. I make small apps that turn everyday things into something a little more delightful — currently working on LOVE POWER, which turns names into Japanese kanji art, and Ramen Rader, a radar-style tool for finding ramen shops nearby. Always happy to hear feedback, especially from people trying the apps for the first time.

LOVE POWER: Kanji Name Maker - Kanji chosen by sound, not Google Translate guesses

Most name-to-Kanji tools force meanings onto your name and get the sound wrong. LOVE POWER picks Kanji and Ateji based on how your name actually sounds — bold and tattoo-ready. Swipe to shuffle through multiple designs, tap to see it full-screen in vertical calligraphy, then save a 9:16 image for a tattoo idea, wallpaper, or profile pic. Works with international names and processes everything on-device — nothing leaves your phone. Free to use, supported by ads.
