On February 29, 2024, she was indicted by The Fukuoka Regional Taxation Bureau on suspicion of not declaring approximately 260 million yen (about US$1.7 million) in income and evading about 47 million yen (about US$310,000) in taxes from 2019-2021. She claimed that she had neglected her tax returns due to ignorance. She added that she paid the taxes and fees in 2022 as a result of not declaring the income after receiving instructions from the tax office. She had also asked a tax accountant for assistance in filing proper tax returns. On May 31, 2024, it was reported she pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges during a case hearing at the Fukuoka District Court.
