My Bio
- I write articles about culture, technology, and human rights for Wired, Popular Science, Fast Company, and the New York Times Magazine. I also produce radio segments for PRI's Studio360 and am a Correspondent for Boing Boing, one of Time Magazine's five most essential blogs of 2010.
In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Like Dorami, he was originally yellow and manufactured with ears. He turned blue weeping over his lost ears.
His ears were bitten off by mouse in the 22nd century. Thus his fear of mice despite being a robotic cat.
This site provides pictures of his origins! http://www.geocities.com/the_doraemon_resource/birth.htm

Shhhh! You might wake him. http://www.dakroland.com/images/misc/doraemon_is_sleeping.jpg
Apparently, there's several Doraemon, and they sleep in groups. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/miserablemistress/doraemon-1024x768.jpg
