    • Her nickname was thought of by Yonezawa Rumi, who first used it in a text message to her.
  • She was a cheerful child up until elementary school. When she entered kindergarten she became shy, and even refused to attend school.

She had no problems attending kindergarten after that.

    • A notable turning point was the year 2012, when she stopped wearing her hair in her signature twintail style. Until then she had been very particular about her hairstyle and and took great care setting her bangs. Kikuchi Ayaka once shared that Mayu would take up to two hours to set her bangs, and Nakagawa Haruka joked that "if you touch Mayu's bangs, you will be killed."
  • She was known for having a high level of professionalism and enthusiasm about being an idol, to the point that she was described as a perfectionist.
