Agency Profile
- Studied ballet since elementary school and there found out about Takarazuka from a friend, who was a revue fan.
- Known to be a very good dancer. She is one of siennies to perform in Takarazuka Dance Eulogy in New York and portrayed Anju Mira in Congress Dances shinjin kouen.
- She thought of leaving the revue (due to lack of progress), until she got the role of Rudolph in Elisabeth.
- It so happened, that she and her top combi partner Nagisa Aki both had their first main stage leads in C'est L'amour (first individual for Kouju) and after many transfers ended up debuting and retiring together.
