She was born in Tokyo, Japan. Spent her childhood being raised by a single mother and the community.
Majored in foreign languages at a university in Tokyo. While in school, briefly studied abroad in Florida.
After graduating, she joined a talent agency where she worked as a field manager for models and actors, and worked in-house as a translator.
After changing jobs, she worked at Geos for three years as an English teacher.
She promoted English not as a learning tool, but as a means of communication.
She moved to Scotland to work at a local kindergarten as the only foreigner, and there introduced the children to Japanese characters and culture.
Soon after, she returned to Tokyo and worked for AEON as the head teacher at three schools in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture. She oversaw English lessons for children and adults, training foreign teachers, and managing internal sales. She was also involved in the opening of new schools.
After leaving the company, she went to Florence, Italy to study Italian language for half a year. She then moved to the northern part of Piedmont, where she spent four years.
After again returning to Japan, she worked as a private English coach and trainer to help people improve their English skills.
Over the past 20 years, she has seen the differences and similarities between Japanese and other countries’ cultures and has realized that Japan can still make improvements, especially in terms of the ease of life for women in different regions. She hopes that the F-Word initiative will free women from the things they have to endure and allow them to exchange ideas openly.
