Personality

Anecdotes

  • Because of her filming for Battle Royale II Requiem, she didn't have enough units to get into college, so she dropped out halfway. (From a DekaRanger interview).
  • Between turning 18 and getting a part on DekaRanger, she worked part-time at the GAP's children's clothing department. She saw a kid playing with an AbaRanger toy, so she really wanted to pass the DekaRanger audition.
  • After the audition, she thought she failed it because she was shorter than the other cast members, thus ruining the balance.
  • When her Jissatsu Circle co-star Nagasawa Nao heard that she got the DekaRanger part, she said she was envious.
  • Her role as Umeko in DekaRanger is a very cheerful character, but producer Tsukada Hideaki said she was very docile. He said that it wasn't till about halfway into the filming that aspects of Umeko started showing up in her personality.
  • When she was performing on the show Nyanchuu World Housoukyoku, children must have thought she was Umeko, because some of the mail that they received was addressed to her that way.
  • She passed the audition for the Morning Musume Musical Love Century. She said she wanted to join Morning Musume, but that didn't happen.
  • Since she's a private person, people don't always recognize her as a celebrity. She's recounted the following stories in tokusatsu magazines:
    • While DekaRanger was airing, she was out with Kinoshita Ayumi. A passerby asked, "Are you Kinoshita-san?" and to Kikuchi asked, "And are you her friend?" Kikuchi commented that it was true that she's Kinoshita's friend.
    • In a video store, a child was looking at a DekaRanger video so she said, "Guess who?" but the child didn't recognize her. When the parent arrived, he didn't recognize her either, so she admitted, "I'm Umeko..."
  • In an interview, it seemed like Umeko had bath scenes weekly. During the audition, main director Watanabe Katsuya asked each of the main members if they were okay with bath scenes, but for some reason he didn't ask Kikuchi.
  • In DekaRanger 17 she has to perform the drunken fist, so she studied Jackie Chan movies. However, she said she didn't really like Jackie Chan's work.
