- Graduated 16th in the 103rd class
- Did not perform in the The Poe Clan shinjin kouen because she was too young (labor laws in Japan prohibit minors from working over a certain number of hours).
- Her stage name "らいと" is the word "light" written in hiragana.
Footnotes:
- She was announced absent from all Grand Theater performances of Singing Lovebirds / Grand Mirage!. Amashiro Rein covered her role of Sankichi.
- While the official Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern shinjin kouen performances were canceled due to the COVID-19 theater closures, the shinjin kouen was performed internally, without an audience. A digest of this performance later aired on Sky Stage as part of the Shinjin Kouen Digest series.
