• The first live Takarazuka performance she saw was Moon Troupe's Can-Can / Nightless Castle in Manhattan.
• She got the nickname Choro by a slip of the tongue when Aran Kei called out for her loudly in the rehearsal room (she meant to call her by the name Teru).
• Named the role of Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind as the "turning point" in her pursuit of otokoyaku image.
• For her stage performances she used perfume a lot, even sprayed it on the soles of her heels when walking on the silver bridge. While rehearsing, she would think about "what kind of perfume this person would wear".
• In 2018, won the Newcomer Award at the Japan Arts Festival Awards for her role in Goodbye, Charlie.
