Trivia
She has three Shih Tzus (RAMU-chan, MUU-chan, RUNA-chan.)
More recently, she has named her favorite food as yakiniku, her least favorite food as bitter melon, her charm point as "a row of 3 moles on the right of my cheek", her strong point as "I have a lot of energy", her weak point as "short tempered" and her hobbies as shopping and eating tapioca.
Yaguchi Mari gave her the nickname Ume-chan.
She has an older sister.
Though being the oldest of the Hello! Project Kids, she felt that she wouldn't have been responsible enough to be leader, so it was passed down to second oldest member Yajima Maimi.
