I'm currently getting a lot of work done on translating articles from Japanese into English that deal with train lines, particularly Kintetsu lines. In addition to translating I'm creating a route diagram, service listing, and station table for each line article and standardizing these things as much as possible.

These are articles to which I have contributed either most or all of the content, some of which were initially created by me. I actively watch, maintain, and guard them, I also perform small standardization-based edits whenever need be.
