• The nickname Kiki was given to her by former top star Aran Kei during her time in Star Troupe.
• After attending a performance of The Glow of Sunset in Asuka / Takarazuka Splendor II, she was inspired to take the TMS entrance exam in the following year and passed the test on her first try.
• She graduated 28th in her class.
• Her appointment as top star coincided with the 25th anniversary of Cosmos Troupe's founding.
• She has had the longest official run as nibante in the revue's history, at over eight years and across two troupes. Her first time wearing the feathers of a nibante was in the parade of Embraced by the Seas of Calista / Takarazuka Fantasia, and her final time wearing them was in the parade of Casino Royale.
• She is the only sienne, current or former, to have performed in each of the revue's productions of Ocean's 11 - Star 2011-12, Flower 2013, and Cosmos 2019. She also played major roles in the shinjin kouen of the Star Troupe (Rusty Ryan) and Flower Troupe (Danny Ocean) runs, and eventually reprised her Star Troupe shinko role of Rusty Ryan in the Cosmos Troupe honkouen.
• She won the 2012 Rookie of the Year Award, as well as the 2016, 2019, and 2021 Effort of the Year Awards.
• She has been the image character for Hankyu Travel International since 2015.
• The 芹香 (serika) in her stage name comes from the word "celica" (coelica in Latin) meaning "heavenly" or "celestial", while the 亜 (a) is derived from the stage name of her mother, 白川亜樹 (Shirakawa Aki). The 斗 (to) in her name was selected from a baby name dictionary.

• She comes from a tall family - her mother is 171 cm tall, her father is 192 cm tall, and her older brother is 203 cm tall.
• She has a toy poodle named Candy-chan! The day after the senshuuraku of Hanna's Florist, she happened to visit a pet shop and immediately fell in love with the dog she saw there, but decided against buying her at first. After spending a single night thinking about it, she realized she couldn't bear to not have the dog in her life and came back for her the very next day. Originally, Serika wanted to name the dog Karaage (fried chicken) due to her appearance, but her family opposed it.
• Her family also has a rescued chihuahua mix named Pudding-chan, who would often have sleepovers at Serika's apartment.
• Originally scheduled to reprise her performance as Arthur in a 2024 re-run of Xcalibur, the show was cancelled on 12/19/23 due to troupe safety concerns.
