She failed the SKE48 2nd Generation audition.
She joined SKE48 in her 6th year of elementary school, and graduated from SKE48 when she was in university. This made her the first member in the history of the 48 Groups to go from elementary school to junior high school to high school to university, all while being a 48 Group member.
She was the only member to appear in every performance of the original Team KII 3rd Stage stage.
She was the only promoted 3rd Generation to never appear in an SKE48 or AKB48 Senbatsu.
She describes her personality as simple, confident, and undecorated. Matsumura Kaori also called her narcissistic, which she agreed to.
She doesn't like the word "insecurities", and doesn't know why everybody has one. That being said, her insecurity is her high-pitched voice.
She was known among SKE48 fans for her interesting blog entries.
Her original catchphrase mentioned gorillas. She did this because "Gorisa" and "Gorilla" sound similar, and she developed a bit of a gorilla character. However, in 2012 she said she did not like having that image anymore, and changed her catchphrase.
- In the game AKB48 Renai Sousenkyo 1/149, her final date scene takes place at a zoo in front of a gorilla exhibit.
She has a cat named "Koharu".
She was said to look similar to Mukaida Manatsu, and they often imitated each other.
She was known for her strong love of Yakata Miki. She even joked that she would break the Love Ban if it meant she could date Miki.
She is close friends with former SKE48 members Yamada Reika and Abiru Riho, and HKT48's Tanaka Natsumi. However, she had difficulties making friends in school.
Created the "Gorisa Children" as a parody of the "Kuwabara Children". It was a group of 5th and 6th generation members to whom she jokingly taught bad manners.
One of the 50 winners of the Young Jump Gravure Competition.
Her cooking specialty is stir-fried vegetables.
When asked on her outlook on life, she replied: "Whether you look upwards or downwards, your neck gets tired. I think that people are happiest when they look forwards".
After graduation she took a part-time job at a real estate exhibition center and also continued to work in the entertainment industry.
She has appeared as a model in many advertisements and commercials in the Aichi area.
On May 29th, 2019 she established a real estate marketing company called "Starpoint R" that works in the Aichi, Mie, Tokyo, Osaka, Okayama, and Shikoku areas. She said that she was able to become independent thanks to the connections she made at her part-time job. She also confirmed she would continue her entertainment activities.
On May 29th, 2022 she released her first photobook, “Kioku wa Nakunarukedo Kiroku wa Nakunaranai” (記憶はなくなるけど記録はなくならない). The title was chosen from one of her former SKE48 blog titles. Releasing a photobook had long been a dream of hers. The book sold in limited quantities and was only available until June 12th, 2022.
She gave a speech at Kato Tomoko’s wedding on July 22, 2022.
In late 2022 she began using the nickname "Korisa" rather than "Gorisa" on her social media.
