‘Honest and straightforward!!’

First Takarazuka show
The 2006 Snow Troupe performance The Rose of Versailles: Oscar Edition.

School clubs
I was in the chorus club, but after school I mainly went to lessons to prepare for the TMS entrance exam.

Motivation for taking the TMS entrance exam
When I first saw Takarazuka I was so moved at ‘What a gorgeous world this is!” so I was determined that I wanted to stand on the same stage.

Memories of your debut
I’ll never forget how emotional I was after we finished our line dance on the final day, when the seniors of Snow Troupe all applauded for us so warmly.

A role that had a deep impression on you
Lorenzo de Medici, from the Outsiders in the Renaissance junior performance (main cast: Serika Toa). It was my first time being given such a large role so I was full of stressed, but I was supported by so many people and learned so many things. This role taught me about the ‘core’ I need to live as a stage performer.

Senior actresses you admire
Ayakaze Sakina-san, and all my seniors in Cosmos Troupe. I admired Ayakaze-san since before I entered Takarazuka—her sensitive character construction, her personality, everything, I really respect her. My Cosmos Troupe seniors are training me so kindly, and sometimes severely, and I’m just full of gratitude to them.

Your dream as a performer
In order to become a large, sexy otokoyaku, as well as a sensitive stage performer, I’m doing my best, honest and straightforwardly, without forgetting my feelings of gratitude!
