Pure, Proper, Beautiful
- Graduated at the top of the 93rd class.
- Her favorite show is "Nova Bossa Nova".
- Was Hankyu & Hanshin Railways' hatsumoude poster model for 2008.
- Member of the 9th Group of Sky Fairies.
- Featured in New Generation II.
- The first Takarazuka show she saw was Cosmos Troupe's Rose of Versailles: Fersen and Marie Antoinette.
- Because of that show became a huge fan of Ayaki Nao and used the character 彩 (aya) in her own stage name.
- Top Star at the time of 100th Anniversary of the Snow Troupe.
- Owns a ferret named Gérard-kun (ジェラルド) (based on the character Ayakaze played in Phantom, Gérard Carrière) as well as two dogs named Chèrie (シェリ) and Biquet (ビケ), both of which she says are based on French terms of endearment (per her Cafe Break interview for fff -Fortississimo-).
- Wanted to be a schoolteacher growing up (from her first photobook).
- Is a big fan of the folk-influenced band Yuzu (as per her first photobook)
- Her mother was a Takarazuka fan, so vaguely wanted to be an otokoyaku since childhood. Her mother also helped her with her stage name.
