Ichiban Mom. Polite Savage. Proudly Japanese American.

Welcome to my world of clean-ish stand-up comedy, cultural confusion, and bilingual brain gymnastics 🇯🇵🇺🇸. I’m a Japanese-American stand-up comedian, writer, and podcaster sharing stories about motherhood, aging, language, stationery obsession, and the quiet chaos of chasing big dreams with a polite smile.

Here you’ll find stand-up clips, podcast moments, and shorts like “How to Pronounce American Names” — comedy that turns culture clash into joy, one awkward moment at a time.

🎭 Comedy • 🇯🇵 Culture • ✏️ Stationery • 💛 Polite Savage Energy
