  Born in Kagawa, Japan. Singer-songwriter based in Tokyo. She discovered her passion for singing and music in 2020.

Blending English and Japanese lyrics, her voice carries both clarity and melancholy, shaping a unique and immersive sonic world. Since 2023, she has been actively performing live in Tokyo while producing her own work. In 2025, she released three consecutive singles, running horse, lighthouse, and hana no iro, on streaming platforms, and has also contributed vocals to commercials and visual projects.
