The past few games haven't been great on the eye, but it's a results business and Gray is right to feel vindicated by pointing to the start we've had to the sea...Aug 18, 2026 11:23 AM

Show HN: Kitsunagu – A platform to find English-speaking professionals in Japanhttps://kitsunagu.com/Hey HN. hrk and I are 2 expats who've been living in Japan for almost 10 years.One of the problems we ran into after moving here is that, even though we were learning Japanese, for some stuff you really want to be helped in a language that you're 100% comfortable in.Like if you have to go to the doctor, or even worse, if you need a lawyer for some reason.It turns out, it's not that easy to find English-speaking doctors or lawyers in Japan. Typically we'd just ask people we know but that's very ad-hoc.So we built a site, kitsunagu.com - it tries to solve exactly that problem. It's a directory of English-capable professionals in Japan. We started off with lawyers and are now hard at work at finding doctors.We thought we'd show it off here because we'd like to get some feedback on the overall usability of the site. Of course, if you're actually living in Japan like us, definitely let us know if you'd actually use a site like this, and what you'd like to see improved. If you're not living Aug 18, 2026 11:08 AM
