Career

Background

After her parents divorced, she grew up in Tokyo from elementary school. She suffered abuse at home and bullying at school, and left high school in her first year. She spent time in Kabukicho and Akihabara before being sent to the Aiko Women's Academy juvenile training school, where she received 1 year and 8 months of correctional education. There she read around 5,000 books, which changed her outlook, and was encouraged by idols she saw on television, deciding she wanted to become one. She later earned a high school equivalency certificate.

Starting out as an idol (2016-2020)

After release she briefly worked as a pharmacy clerk before starting live idol activities. She began performing individually in late 2016 and joined the idol group のーぷらん。 in February 2017, leaving in May to prepare for university entrance exams. At the Miss iD 2018 final interview, her juvenile-school stories impressed the judges and earned her the Survival Prize.

In 2018 she entered the Faculty of Law at Nihon University and launched "bae", a website about child neglect and abuse. A crowdfunding campaign to found an NPO raised 3.53 million yen against a goal of 850,000 yen, and the organization was incorporated on January 7, 2019, with her as representative director. In September 2018 she joined ZOC, and in October she started the self-produced idol group femme fatale with her younger sister Sakina Tonchiki, a Miss iD 2019 participant.
