Nana has wanted to be a singer since she was a child. She started learning to play the piano when she was 3 and started writing lyrics when she was 12 and when she was 14 she started teaching herself how to play the guitar. In her junior high school days, she became a big fan of Shiina Ringo and became very influenced by her music style. In February of 2002, she passed the demo tape examination at the Sony Music audition and got the chance do debut as a singer. In 2003, the demo she submitted at the time of audition caught the attention of Susumu Nishikawa who is a session guitarist and a producer of many singers such as her idol, Shiina Ringo. On October 29, 2003 when a half year passed since coming to Tokyo, she released her first single Kesenai Tsumi. It marked the 16th in the Oricon charts. On August 24, 2005, her first album 18-eighteen was released and she held her first official concert after that.

She dressed like a rock musician at first. But now she likes to dress in Gothic and Punk Lolita. Now, she has her own signature line, Moon King.

Her favorite phrase is "Shiawase ka fukou ka wa jibun shidai" which means "Happiness or misfortune depends on you". She wants to become an artist that can somehow stir up emotions in people's hearts. She would like to be the kind of artist that can run up behind people and give them a shock. Her goal is to become and die as a good person.
