Suki Desu
Suki Desu verbindet Neugier und Japan
An independent project built to talk about Japan with context, depth and genuine enthusiasm.
Suki Desu focuses on Japanese language, Asian culture, otaku topics, games, Korea and the kind of details that help readers understand Japan beyond the surface.
Over time, it grew from a personal blog into a broader ecosystem with language products, reference tools and long-form editorial content.
How it started
My name is Kevin Henrique. I was born in 1995 and always loved computers and the web, but Japan truly caught my attention in my teens through anime, games and music.
The site began when I decided to study Japanese more seriously. Writing publicly became a way to stay disciplined, organize what I was learning and avoid procrastination.
What started as a study diary slowly gained traction. By 2014, Suki Desu had begun growing through social media and organic search.
From passion to project
The project became a business in 2015. In October 2016, thanks to that growth, I was finally able to fulfill one of my biggest dreams and visit Japan in person.
As the site matured, it also expanded into partnerships and multilingual publishing, reaching readers in many countries.
What drives Suki Desu today
The internet has changed a lot, but the goal is still the same: publish useful, human content that treats Japan with nuance instead of reducing it to shallow answers.
Suki Desu will keep evolving with new tools and projects while preserving the kind of writing that made readers stay in the first place.
