Yumiko Sato
I'm a Japanese journalist and author exploring how technology shapes society, especially when cultural differences are ignored. I've written for TIME, highlighting overlooked hate speech on Japanese Internet, and contributed to Slate and Undark Magazine, discussing historical revisionism on Japanese Wikipedia.
Before focusing on journalism, I spent over a decade as a board-certified music therapist. You can read more about that chapter of my career on my archive site: Yumiko Sato Music Therapy
Today, I'm dedicated to combating online misinformation and harmful content, while also exploring how cultural dynamics shape the effects of technology on society.
