While a student of the Faculty of Design (Media Design) at Sapporo City University, she was in some Rock/Metal/Visual-kei-rock bands as a keyboardist and composer, and also learned how to be transformed using makeup techniques by herself. She started to make photographs/movies when she was a university student too.
