  • Her hobby is watching movies.
  • Became an idol fan after watching SUPER☆GiRLS on television in 6th grade.
  • Claims her charm point is her soft cheeks.
  • Her favourite idol group is Cheeky Parade.
  • She was the oldest member of MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN during her time in the group, but as she joined a week after everyone else, she was also the lowest in seniority.
