We would like to introduce the editors and analysts who contribute to this site. Our team, with its practical experience and commitment to providing accurate, firsthand information, continuously delivers updates on JDB banks and overseas accounts.
Ren Kiryu — Senior Financial Writer
After working as a reporter for a major financial newspaper, he served for many years as an editorial desk manager at a financial media outlet specializing in Southeast Asia. He has reported on the ground in Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, focusing primarily on banking systems in the ASEAN region, cross-border remittances, and emerging market currencies. His credo is to engage readers by citing official information and maintaining an unbiased, non-sensationalist stance.
Rei Tsukimura — Editor-in-Chief
Editor-in-Chief of the “JDB Support Center.” After gaining experience in the Asia division of an international bank, I served as an editor for several economic media outlets. I strive to create content that readers concerned about their family’s asset management can read with peace of mind.
Marcus Zhou — Senior Banking Analyst
He spent many years conducting research in the asset management division of an investment bank in Asia and was responsible for emerging market currencies and international diversified investments at a Singapore-based private bank. Currently based in Tokyo, he writes independent reports for high-net-worth individuals. His analytical style places the highest priority on numbers and causal relationships.
