Who is Yatta-Tachi?
Founded in May 2015 & run by Katy Castillo, Editor-in-Chief/Owner of Yatta-Tachi. We create Japanese Pop Culture related content, such as resources, reviews, guides, & editorials. We focus on various subjects including anime, manga, video games, movies, and events.
Our Content represents a diversity of views on Japan and its pop culture such as (but not limited to): manga, lifestyle, conventions, anime, events, etc. Our content is easy to digest, staying away from technical jargon that would shy away new readers wanting to learn more about Japan, while not boring seasoned readers. We strive to support writers who need that little breakthrough to get their name out there.
Our Tone is friendly, informative, upbeat, pun-y, optimistic, open-minded, accessible, LGBTQIA+ friendly 🏳️🌈, and professional. Our articles are written to be insightful, but not a snore-fest. We approach all our topics as fans, not critics. We all learn through each other’s articles and celebrate each other’s success.
Our Purpose is to promote Japanese pop culture through various forms of mediums and to have fun working with other people around the world who share the same views and excitement.
