PROFILE

Graduated from Musashino Art University. Her areas of expertise include artist and creator management, photography, and image production.

After joining CONNECT+ECHO Co., Ltd., she has worked as a sound manager, handling management duties as well as general affairs and administrative support.

Her hobbies include watching cycling races, especially cyclocross. She is also involved in personal publishing activities, creating zines and doujinshi.

Around 15 years before joining the company, she was influenced by Kitamura through the internet and spent some time working with DAWs. However, she came to realize that she did not have an aptitude for composing music or creating sounds.
