- Part of "Group A" of the 99th class, which performed with Snow and Cosmos Troupes before receiving official troupe assignments in February 2014.
- Her favorite movie is Edward Scissorhands (1990). (Kageki 2014.12 p.75)
- Her mother was a fan of Takarazuka and Snow Troupe, so she vaguely wanted to join as a child.
- Passed the entrance exam on the first try. Though originally intended to attend the music college, followed her mothers advice and took the exam for TMS.
- She originally wanted to play otokoyaku, but because she was short and had a high voice, she ended up becoming a musumeyaku.
- Top musumeyaku Umino Mitsuki was absent from the Tokyo run of Flügel / A Kaleidoscope of Life from 11/07 to 11/10. Irodori Michiru covered the lead musumeyaku role of Nadia Schneider in Flügel, as well as several of Umino's scenes in A Kaleidoscope of Life (Scene 5, Young Lady Akiko; Scenes 16-17, City Girl S; Scenes 20-21, A Certain Lady). Irodori was understudied by Nanano Ari in Flügel, and by Kiyora Haryuu (Scene 7, Moga) and Hanahime Manon (Scene 15, City Girl Singer) in A Kaleidoscope of Life.
