The author crafts this autoethnography in English—not her mother tongue, Japanese—as a non-white, non-native English-speaking sojourner from Japan who has lived in the U.S. since 1999. She uses the English language to scrutinize how English linguistic neo-imperialism (Phillipson, 2008) had a large impact on her cultural identity and relocation. While attempting to introduce non-native writing into native writing “bilingualistically” (Levy, 2001, pp. 110–111, trans. Tankei-Aminian), she engages in “exophonic” autoethnography to narrate her life-long experience with English growing up in Japan and living in the U.S.
