Outside voice acting, she has been noted for interests in plastic models and military subjects, which led to related event appearances and magazine writing; in 2013 she served as one-day captain of the Maritime Self-Defense Force training support ship てんりゅう, and in 2015 she did the same on the destroyer ちくま. Her recorded work has also been described in connection with ballad, contemporary R&B, neo soul, and adult contemporary, with a mature, polished, expressive vocal style not limited to anime-specific repertoire.
