General Information

As one of the second group of new members (the class of 1997 is the first group) to be assigned to the newly found Cosmo Troupe, she has a quick start of her Takarazuka career: she starred with Yōka Wao and Sakiho Juri in Crossroad in her third year, and she partnered up with Juri in the latter's first Bow Hall starring, "Freedom: Mr. Carmen" as Josie, which both Juri and she received great applause.

However, her main development is when she was in Flower Troupe, where she participated a couple New Actor shows: Elisabeth are among those. Like Kanami Ayano, she steadily became the second tier musumyaku and join Mao Ayabuki in her first Bow Hall starring, "Naked City". She got her applause portraying as Yvette d'Amboise in "Marrakech: A Crimson Tombstone" and later on, she rejoined with Juri in the latter's final Takarazuka performance, Ernest in Love as Gwendolen Fairfax.

When Miyo Fuzuki, the musumeyaku top star of Flower Troupe from 2003 to 2006, announced her resignation, the public expected that she would be the next top star. However, she was transferred to Senka and a more younger star, Ayane Sakurano was being promoted.

She just spent less than a year in Senka. During this period of time, she participated both Star's and Cosmo's production "Copacabana" as Conchita Alvares, another highlight of her career.

Following the resignation of Wataru Kozuki and the transfer of her then partner Yuri Shirahane (also the classmate of Tono) back to Snow Troupe to be paired up with Natsuki Mizu, she finally became the top musumeyaku top star of Star Troupe with Kei Aran.
