While she was a second-year high school student, her short story won the novel competition of 'Friend of Schoolgirls', a magazine published from Shogakukan Ink..
In those days she joined SHIKI THEATRE COMPANY, but she left the company because SHIKI switched their lines from classical drama to musical play.

My friends who heard I had joined SHIKI said with a giggle, "Maybe you were a property woman!". But actually I was a fledgling actress. I have learned a lesson about play scripts from the experience in SHIKI. (quote: "Interviews with Manga Authors" by Itou Ayako. Doubun Shoin inc.)

Before I wrote the story of Candy, one of what some decided was "Who is her mother is not the theme". Whoever are your parents, you must accept your destiny and stand on your own feet---I wanted to say so. When I started to write the story, it was two years after my mother passed away. My father passed away at my 12th year, I lived in solitude because I am the only child of them. Looking back on my years of writing Candy story, I realize that I healed my pain by writing.
