JVTA is diversified yet focused company offering a suite of services specializing in to-/from-Japanese translation of visualmedia contents―film and television including animation, manga and comics, and videogames. The “academy” in our name is used in the truest spirit of the word, as we work to advance the craft and profession of visualmedia contents translation through a comprehensive model.

As such, JVTA provides services to companies in the visualmedia contents industry requiring to-/from-Japanese translation, from those involved in the import and localization of contents from Japan to those that would benefit from international versioning for the export of contents to Japan. As well, JVTA provides support to translators in development of their craft and careers.

JVTA is headquartered in Tokyo, the center of culture and business in the major national media market of Japan, and has a location in Los Angeles, the most highly concentrated area of the domestic US and worldwide visualmedia contents industry. With the increase in popularity of Japanese visualmedia contents here in the US, and the already significant, but increasingly competitive, market share US visualmedia contents enjoy in Japan, JVTA’s strategic locations further anchor the two-way bridge between these major national media markets, and beyond.

The most core, integral part of JVTA’s comprehensive model of advancing the craft and profession of visualmedia contents translation is achieved through our vocational training school. The school conducts translator training courses in order to cultivate translation talent, where we will develop the craft for the industry and the profession for the translators. Whether translators are new seeking to establish themselves or experienced seeking to expand their skill sets, JVTA has the resources to assist and support you.
