She started learning karate because of the anime "Dragon Ball'' and it's main character – Son Goku. When seeing a child in her neighborhood wearing similar clothes to him (meaning karate uniform), said to her father that she "wants to wear that". She continued to attend karate classes from kindergarten to the second grade of junior high school. She also greatly admires her karate teacher and they still keep in touch (from LEE interview).
Took her first entrance exam for TMS six months after seeing Takarazuka live performance. She didn't pass, but after meeting a few honkasei, certainly decided on joining the theater (from LEE interview).
