YOKOSO! ANIME NO KOKORO BLOG!
Hello! I’m an anime and Japanese culture–loving mom who moved to the United States with my family somewhat by chance. I started out by posting only anime information, but soon realized I also wanted to share Japanese dramas, cultural insights, and travel tips. That’s why I named this blog “Anime Kokoro,” a phrase meaning “the heart of anime,” reflecting my wish to live each day with the same excitement and spark found in my favorite shows.

GANBARU!!!!
Here on my blog, I explore five main topics:
- Anime – Whether it’s a brand-new season or a beloved classic, I’ll talk about the shows that make my heart race.
- Manga & Light Novel – These are the foundations of so many anime series! I love digging into fresh releases and hidden gems.
- Live Action & Other Adaptations – Discover how your favorite stories unfold in dramas, films, and other creative retellings.
- Culture in Anime – Learn about the real-life festivals, traditions, and everyday customs that so often inspire or appear in anime.
- Anime Pilgrimage – Follow me on virtual (and sometimes real) journeys to the places that bring these wonderful stories to life.
I do my best to dig up niche info and pass it along to fellow fans, hoping you’ll find something new and delightful here. My English isn’t perfect yet—so I often rely on AI translation—but I’m working hard to share my genuine love for anime and Japanese culture.
Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I hope we can all experience a thrill like an anime adventure each and every day!
