Takumi Ohno
Writer/Film Producer/Event Coordinator
Hello, my name is Takumi Ohno. I was born and raised in Kobe, Japan but have lived in Seattle long enough to call it home. After studying in Australia and the US and working in the US bicycle industry, I came up with the idea of launching my website to introduce Seattle to the Japanese public. So junglecity.com was born in late 1998. Just a few years later, Ichiro signed with the Seattle Mariners; the rest is history.
Today, I wear many hats and manage every aspect of running and managing the website, social media presence, publicity, sales, and community outreach. Additionally, I make frequent contributions to the Japanese-speaking community and international students’ community as a guest speaker.
Here at Spring Forward, I’m bringing all of my passions to one place to help you grow your business. I sincerely wish that together we can tell your story and showcase your greatest potential to the world.
Let’s tell your story together.
