Is valued by Tsunku because of her singing abilities.
Was the first member chosen and announced to be in Polaris α.
Has a younger sister (only a year younger)
If she could be another member, she said she would be her fellow member Miyanaga Misaki, because she wants to be able to dance as good as her. Coincedentally, Miyanaga Misaki said she wanted to be Suzuki Eri when asked the same question, because she wanted to know what it was like to sing with such a deep, rich voice.
She said that in her previous life she was a cat, because she's really lazy.
Always yells "IKUZE!" after announcing the last song.
Her original hair color is actually dark brown, but dyed it red because she was really passionate about being in Polaris α and wanted to know what she looked like with her member color.
Says that her first impression of Takahashi Rie was "Scary~~" but realized that after talking with Rie that she was the total opposite of what she thought.
She and Yamada Ayumu are known as one of the best singers of DreamS, and are often paired up together. There is a rumor that there will be a new unit in DreamS consisting of her and Yamada called "Shooting★Star". It is yet to be confirmed. This was confirmed, except they were called "~Snowdrop~".
Is considered the leader of DreamS, due to her leader-like personality and being the most popular out of DreamS. She was also one of the first to debut.
She has recently gone back to her original hair color, saying that this color suits her best. Her hair has also grown incredibly since it was cut short in January 2013.
