About Hossen Md Shohag

Background

Hossen Md Shohag (ホセン・エムディー・ショハグ) comes from Bangladesh and now lives in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. His native language is Bengali, and he also works in English and Japanese. His career so far has two chapters: several years in digital marketing in Bangladesh, and a current chapter in Japan focused on language study and a move into software engineering.

Marketing career in Bangladesh

Shohag spent around four years in digital marketing in Bangladesh, growing into team-lead responsibility. From February 2020 to December 2024 he handled SNS strategy at Nipton Electronics, an electronics brand, where his work centred on social media strategy and content marketing — planning what the brand published, and leading the people who produced it.

Life and study in Japan

In April 2025 he moved to Kobe to study Japanese full-time at Kobe Gaigo Kyoiku Gakuin, where his language course runs until March 2027. Alongside the course he is preparing for the JLPT N3 examination in December 2026.

Path to software engineering

Shohag has been accepted to Sundai IT Business College for the April 2027 intake, on the IT Expert course's System Engineer track. Ahead of that start he is learning programming — Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and C# — and building small web projects of his own to practise.

Projects

His main side projects are Japanese-learning tools. Kotoba Stories teaches vocabulary through short graded stories, Shikho is a vocabulary study app covering JLPT N5 to N3 words with example sentences, and Real Japan Experience (R3) is a large static learning site with flashcard chapters and furigana examples.
