Pure, Proper, Beautiful
- She is an only child.
- Graduated 26th in her class.
- Her mother was a Takarazuka fan, so she often saw revue DVDs since childhood. She also used to memorize lines from the shows and acted them out by herself.
- Loves french bulldogs and when her close friend, Serika Toa, saw one in a pet shop and told her about it, she immediately got the frenchie and named her Moana (as per her first photobook).
- She will assume the post of top-star at ken-19, the longest time in the Revue's history, since Oozora Yuuhi at ken-18.
- Featured in New Generation II.
- Has an interest for fashion. Her hobby and style were heavily influenced by her mother.
- Announced 2009/10/27, Aoki Izumi was absent from Last Play / Heat on Beat! due to poor health. Houzuki covered her role in the regular performances from October 27th - 28th, after which Seijou Kaito took over the role.
