Kamui is an idol-in-training from Hokkaido. However, her agency had gone bankrupt and would close down in six months, and its CEO had fallen ill. Her manager decided to, at least, fulfill the dream of the president by performing on the stage of the Sapporo Dome, in front of a crowd full of fans.

His plan was to gather 30,000 fans, which would be enough to get the help from sponsors, and make her dream happen. Unfortunately, the goal wasn't achieved, leaving Kamui with nothing. Time had passed, and she became a normal girl. She no longer did the things she liked to do. But then, a man started going to the bank, raising money for Kamui, her fans had begun dialogue with local businesses from Hokkaido, and because of the reignited interest in her, the Hokkaido Police started a national search for her.

In January 28, 2015, Kamui released her debut single.

In 2018, Kamui returned.
