  • She attended an all-girls high school on a study-intensive (accelerated) course. She had to switch to the regular course for her final year because she was missing so much school.
    • Her homeroom teacher was very supportive of her activities. Sadly they passed away on August 8th, 2015, and never got to see Maria perform as an idol. Team 8 did not have a concert in Gunma until 4 months after that.
  • After joining AKB48 she would try to not talk about her idol life with her friends because she didn’t want them to think she was using her idol status to feel superior. She even began to sit alone during lunch in her second year of high school, to avoid making her friends feel like they had to spend time with her on the rare days she could attend school.
  • She developed a phobia against men (especially men in school uniforms) due to being called ugly on the way to school in her first year of high school. She confessed that she had a hard time in the beginning of her AKB48 career interacting with male fans at handshake events. Fortunately it has gotten easier over time.

  • She often leads MCs and is known for being outgoing.
  • She is good at cooking.

  • She finds it embarrassing when people call her "Mari", as only her family calls her that.
  • She volunteered to eat a whole fried cicada on AKBINGO! after Honda Hitomi ate part of one as a punishment game. She ate the whole thing at once and said it tasted like popcorn.
  • She was a member of the korokke team in the AKB48 Cooking Senbatsu Competition.
