Hey @nicholas1983! Thanks so much for the enthusiastic support. We're definitely down to support you if you can begin mobilizing people around Steemit. There is definitely a substantial Japanese community on Steemit as well (the #jp tag I believe?). Being in East Asia is not a problem for us at all and we encourage growth however we can.
BTW we will be in Asia (South Korea) this winter and we'll be sure to host meetups/events. Hopefully we can make it out to Japan soon as well!
