Roland Kelts: Author Roland Kelts is a half-Japanese Tokyo-based writer, journalist, scholar and authority on Japanese and Western cultures. His first book, JAPANAMERICA, is considered the ultimate guide to Japan's pop culture juggernaut — required reading for many Hollywood producers, global artists and academics worldwide. He has published in The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The New York Times, Zoetrope: All Story, The Times Literary Supplement and others, and he is a primary source on Japan for CNN, the BBC and NHK. He is also a monthly columnist for The Japan Times and a professor at Waseda University in Tokyo. He has given speeches on Japan for think tanks, embassies, universities, pop culture conventions and private events in the US, Europe and Asia, including TED Talks and The World Economic Forum. Kelts has taught at The University of Tokyo, New York University, Columbia University, Sophia University, and Harvard University. He has won several awards and fellowships, including a 2017 Nieman Fellowship in Journalism at Harvard.
