Rocco Trapanese
- Profile
- I majored in International Business and Japanese from San Francisco State University and spent a year at Waseda University as an exchange student. I came to Japan right after graduating in 2005 to start my career and I’ve been here ever since. My wife is Japanese and I have two daughters in elementary school so I’ll be here long-term.
I’ve been helping Accounting & Finance professionals secure promotions and pay increases in Tokyo since 2006. People in Accounting & Finance are the most loyal, diligent, logical and intelligent professionals in all of Japan. I can’t imagine switching to a new career or specialism and consider myself to be extremely lucky to have such a great network.

With the strength of "Ability to connect with people'', I specialize in the fields of accounting, finance and SCM, especially companies that handle tangible products.
There are new meetings everyday and I enjoy the fact that I can have a great impact on people's daily lives as a consultant.

I am married to a Japanese wife and have a young daughter at home. I love to spend time with my family around Tokyo on my days off.
My hobbies are mixed martial arts, boxing and kickboxing. I have been boxing and kickboxing for over 14 years and am a huge fan of MMA.
