Raised in a creative household—her mother being a professional narrator—she developed an early interest in voice acting, inspired by her family's love for anime and video games.

After graduating, she studied at Watanabe Entertainment College and debuted as a voice actress in 2015 under Holy Peak, later joining the idol group Purely Monster. She left the group on April 30, 2018 due to a leg injury and joined Amuse Inc. in 2019. Her talents include perfect pitch, playing instruments, dancing, and she’s even a certified sake sommelier.
