From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ryota Yashima a.k.a. Yassie (b.
1975) is a business person living in
Saitama City, Saitama,
Japan. I am currently working in an IT company (ERP package vendor), since November 2011, after recovering from
Major depressive disorder. I used to work in non-Japan(mostly U.S.)-based companies for 9 years, and have experience in English-using clerical, data analysis with
Microsoft Excel and some programming with VBA (
Visual Basic for Applications). I earned B.A. degree from
International Christian University in March 2000. I also lived in
Columbus, Ohio to study business at
Ohio State University. I have been to most states east of the
Mississippi River mainly by
Greyhound bus, which makes me good at writing about American cities on
Japanese Wikipedia. Also, I have some knowledge about American
popular culture. In 2019, I got into committed relationship with a
Kenyan woman (eventually got married in January 2020), and began learning
Swahili language.
