- Graduated at the top of the 99th class.
- Was Hankyu & Hanshin Railways' hatsumoude poster model for 2014.
- Part of "Group A" , which performed with Snow and Cosmos Troupes before official troupe assignments in Feb. 2014.
- She played the flute in elementary school 4-6th grade because her teacher advised her to do so. During Gone With the Wind she played her own flute and also did the tuning every day by herself. (Kageki Aug 2014 p.89)
- Utahana Suzu is her cousin.
- Lead three performances with Akatsuki Chisei (shinko 1789 & Elisabeth, and Bow Hall Arkadia).
- In 2022, she announced in the Yomiuri Newspaper that she would get a graduate degree in psychology from Keio University. She says acting success, even for top stars, is more luck and connections than personal effort and that she was hospitalized in Takarazuka when stress caused an eczema breakout all over her body — so acting isn't for her! Because helping others is most important to her, she now wants to help young people with their mental health and reduce the stigma of mental health issues in Japan.
