Darcy H. Kishida

I was born and raised in the US, and have lived in Japan for many years. My experience in both countries allows me to provide KLO’s international clientele with the best possible legal representation in Japan. This connection goes beyond the law, and also includes important areas such as language and culture. In my free time, I enjoy photography, traveling, and a perfect Tex-Mex margarita.
