As a child, she admired Petit Charat, a major character in Di Gi Charat, and during elementary school, she learned there was a voice actor playing Pichiko, and thought that if she became a voice actor she could become Petit Charat. Afterwards, when she looked at Iris, the band best known for the PriPara anime, she came to think "I want to be a singing and dancing voice actor". After graduating from high school, she considered going to a voice acting school, but consulted with her parents before going to college. She gave up midway in the seiyu path, but as a college freshman, she checked out an audition that was taking place because she had leisure time during her winter break. She learned that it was the avex×81produce Wake Up, Girls! AUDITION 3rd Anison Vocal Audition and, having liked both Iris and Wake Up, Girls!, was inspired by the words "Your Dream Awakens" in the audition advertisement. She participated in the final audition.
