About

I write about climate change and the environment for The New York Times. I was previously The Times's Tokyo business correspondent. In 2013, I was part of the team awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting “for its penetrating look into business practices by Apple and other technology companies that illustrates the darker side of a changing global economy for workers and consumers.” In 2011, I was part of a team whose coverage of the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. I came to The Times in 2008 after a year as a Tokyo correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, where I covered an eclectic beat ranging from politics and labor issues to fashion and consumer culture. Prior to The Journal, I spent three years as a reporter at the Tokyo bureau of The Associated Press. I am a native of Kobe, Japan, and a graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science.
