Hello, my name is Jeff Schrepfer, and I'm a corporate finance attorney working in the Tokyo office of Morrison & Foerster LLP. I have studied Japanese for nearly 25 years and have lived in Japan for over 16 of those years. In addition to the language, I also have a very strong interest in Japanese history. Therefore, my participation in Wikipedia will primarily be with respect to Japanese history, although I would also like to contribute to various cultural and geographical articles about Japan as well. To find out more about me, please visit my homepage

I have also slowly been adding significant events in Japanese history to the articles in the Days and Years categories, and I have been spending a lot of time standardizing and improving the articles on emperors of Japan.
