- Former member of Art Club
- She loves gore. As part of the AKB48 Art Club activities, she submitted a papier-mâché sculpture of a decapitated head with blood coming out from the sides. It was deemed too grotesque for the exhibition and was left out.
- At the insistence of her mother, she began taking auditions for the entertainment industry at the age of 4.
- She has an older half-sister who she calls "a delinquent".
- In a 2023 YouTube interview with Gairoku channel, she revealed that she had a difficult home life growing up. Her mother was physically abusive toward her, and her stepfather did not intervene.
- While she was an NMB48 member, fans noticed bruises and cigarette burns on her arms. It is unknown if they were the result of accidents, self-harm, or abuse from her mother.
- In the same interview she reported she is no longer in contact with her mother.
- She used to be a hikikomori for about a year before joining NMB48, and had no interest in idols. She often skipped school and had few friends.
- Her mother sent in her audition application and dropped her off at the audition building on the way home from school so she would have to audition. She has said she still doesn't consider herself an idol.
- She admires Yutaka Ozaki, and at her 15-year-old birthday theater performance, she sang Ozaki's song "Jugo no Yoru" (15の夜) without permission.
- She admires Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Golden Bomber.
- She was known for her "crazy" personality.
- NMB48's theater manager Kaneko Takeshi described her as "A girl who in fact likes to stand out. She's a smart girl who knows how to portray herself, and out of the members she is one of the girls with the strongest will".
- Due to participating in so many auditions as a child, she developed a fear of TV studios and TV cameras. She reported having difficulty filming TV programs with NMB48.
- She said that as an NMB48 member she liked performing, the theater, and seeing fans, but she had no desire to become famous. This is why she stopped participating in Senbatsu Elections after the 5th Senbatsu Election.
- She often said she was in love with Watanabe Miyuki. Her appeal video for the 5th Senbatsu Election was asking fans to vote for Milky.
- Interestingly, she said that in the early days of NMB48 Miyuki was wary of Momoka and thought she was "weird". They later became friends.
- In 2014, Momoka stated that she 'oshihened' from Miyuki, and revealed in 2015 that her oshimen was Kushiro Rina.
- She first dyed her hair red for a drama. She then went on to dye it pink, purple, blue, emerald green and aqua.
- She says she would date Naiki Kokoro or Ichikawa Miori. She often says that she doesn't feel attracted to men, and kissed many fellow members on stage.
- She once led the Overture during an NMB48 concert.
- In 2016, Akimoto Yasushi took a liking to her. She was given the solo song Priority. She said was overwhelmed and tried to refuse the song.
- She said that because she never had a goal in NMB, she also never really had a reason to quit. However, she decided to time her graduation announcement to be "at the most disadvantageous time for NMB48 management". She had grown to resent management due to the hot-cold way they treated her after she got a push from Akimoto Yasushi. Therefore, she decided to announce graduation shortly after Suto Ririka announced her controversial marriage at the 9th Senbatsu Election.
- After graduating from NMB48, she was active under the name of Hyakka (百花). She used to use the name kinoshita during her musical activities, but as of 2022, she has returned to Kinoshita Momoka.
- She made a guest appearance at Yamamoto Sayaka's graduation concert.
- The only former members she is in contact with are Yamamoto Sayaka and Mita Mao.
