>"I've been a big kid since I was little, and when we lined up in order of height, I was usually at the back. I played volleyball and swimming from elementary school, and in middle school I was even called up to the special relay club. My middle school didn't have a relay club, so I was only called up from each sports club when it was time for the relay... But I'm not particularly fast (laughs). But I was a good runner!"
>"I was in the drama club in high school, but I wanted to be a voice actor or an actress. I applied to an arts university, but I failed... So I moved to Tokyo and went to a correspondence university. I think it was after I graduated that I started appearing on stage. I actually appeared in the same play as Waka Tsukiyama, and Waka was in Actwres Girls, and I was like, 'Oh, she's a pro wrestling trainee'... At the time I was like, 'Pro wrestling? I don't know anything about it,' but one day I went to see a play with Waka, and I casually said, 'I want to get some exercise,' and she said, 'Why don't you come and train with Actress?' So I thought it would be great if I could get some exercise, and that's how I got started at a dojo."
>"There were times when I couldn't even practice because I had to stay at home. In the end, I was able to go to the dojo at first, but after that I would go there occasionally and do strength training at home (laughs). As matches started to start gradually, I would act as a second in the matches of my seniors. I'm not the type of person who can do many things at the same time, like using two or three swords, so I just did strength training and forgot about performing. And because of the coronavirus pandemic, I couldn't even perform on stage."
