Mini bio
How it started.
Sharla grew up in Victoria, Canada, and first visited Morioka on a school trip. She later returned to teach English before studying in the Tokyo area. In her JNTO interview, she traced her videos to a university assignment: students were asked to blog about studying in Japan, and she asked to make videos instead.
Finding her audience.
Her early uploads were simple webcam diaries about university life. Those videos found viewers beyond the classroom. By September 2021, the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan described her as a veteran Japan YouTuber with more than 600,000 followers. She told the magazine she wanted to share everyday details, from trains and vending machines to the variety of snacks.
A shop with a friend.
Sharla met Ushka while staying at her Airbnb, and the two bonded over Japanese stationery. They created Neko Neko Post to share their finds, choosing items themselves and hand-packing orders. Her videos now bring fans along for stationery projects, house renovations and trips around Japan and the UK.
