From Washington, USA, Caleb oversees how NativShark looks and functions as a whole, making sure that our high-quality lessons and cutting-edge technology merge into one seamless and effective platform. He also makes sure the company runs smoothly. His favorite place to live in Japan is Fukuoka 🏝
Before diving full-time into NativShark, Niko did writing and translating work for various Japanese publishers. He decides what lessons we teach and when, and he's written over 1,000 of them himself. He grew up in California, USA.
Born and raised in Tokyo, Rei is the mastermind behind the Japanese you see on NativShark. She ensures that we teach a wide variety of natural Japanese and that our translations and lessons are always accurate.
Chie grew up in Kumamoto, makes the fantastic art we see on the site, and helps in ensuring that our Japanese sentences and audio sound natural. She also works together with Caleb to make the technology of NativShark the best it can be.
Satoko is originally from Tokyo but grew up living in various parts of Japan, Singapore, and Canada. Utilizing her multicultural and bilingual background, she started working as a translator for NativShark in 2019 but is now in charge of managing content workflows.

Ty manages NativShark media creation and distribution, the community on Discord, and ensures students get the support they deserve. One of our earliest students, he managed to pass the JLPT N1 in just under 4 years. He is from Connecticut, USA, and calls Fukuoka his home.
Ivan calls the Great White North of Alberta, Canada home, though he's frequently looking for excuses to travel. Having fallen in love with Japan after a brief visit, he hopes to make it another home away from home in the not too distant future. If you send us an email, there's a good chance that he'll be on the other end!
