Tobias has been working as an editor and a writer for over ten years, getting his start at a legal publisher in London before moving to Tokyo in 2019. Since moving to Japan’s capital, he has written or edited articles on a wide variety of subjects, including cars, medicine, video games, the economy, wine, education and travel. He even reviewed the first CBD beer to be launched in Japan! In his spare time, he loves watching movies, playing video games, going to karaoke, and visiting his local sento public bath. His favorite Pokémon is Shinx, and his favorite food is curry. He never shuts up about how the 2008 Financial Crisis influenced everything in our modern world.
