She grew up in a mixed-prefecture household—her father's side traces back to Hokkaido while her mother's family is from Ishigaki Island in Okinawa. She's got two older brothers, one significantly older (16 years) and another closer in age (2 years). Her older brother Makoto actually contributed to her music career by writing "fermata," which ended up on her 4th studio album.

If acting hadn't worked out, she probably would've become a preschool teacher—she's always had a strong love for kids. She even made it official by getting her Child Care License in 2008, which speaks to how genuine that interest is.
