First Takarazuka show
It was Moon Troupe’s 2012 show Romeo et Juliette.

School clubs
I was in Track and Field. I’ve loved running since I was little, and I competed at sports meets in things like 100 meter sprint, the 4-person 100 meter relay, and wide jump. My body and spirit were trained by the difficult practice every day.

Motivation for taking the TMS entrance exam
When I first saw a Takarazuka show, I was so struck by it that I went to see it again the next day, and as I saw Takarazuka more and more I came to long for it and decided to take the entrance exam since I wanted to be on that stage too.

Memories of your debut
All of us in the class worked with all our might on one single thing, and I was so moved when the curtain rose on the first day. Also, I’ll never forget that lovely rockette costume, with the blue, white, and red like the French flag.

A role that had a deep impression on you
My role in The Scarlet Pimpernel, Louis-Charles. It was my first time having a role in the main cast with lines and singing, and I was able to perform with so many of the seniors, most importantly Kurenai-san, so I was able to learn a lot from that.

Senior actresses you admire
All of the senior actresses in my beloved Star Troupe. They have so much knowledge about stage arts like dancing and acting, so I’m learning so much every day in rehearsals.

Your dream as a performer
I want to treasure the philosophy of ‘Modesty, Fairness, and Grace’, and interact closely with the otokoyaku as a musumeyaku, and always remember to smile as I bring wonderful performances!! I’ll do my best!!
