In 2016, she was scouted by the talent agency ARBRE.[3] In 2019, she was cast as the voice actress for Hina Amano, a main character in the anime film Weathering with You.[4] In 2020, she rapidly gained recognition with a string of high-profile roles, including appearances in Shunji Iwai's film Last Letter and the NHK morning drama Yell.
