Saki stands at an approximate height of 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm). Her weight is around 110 pounds (50 kg), showcasing her slender physique. While specific body measurements are not publicly disclosed, Saki is known for her stylish appearance and vivacious presence, often highlighted during performances and public appearances.
Saki has been sponsored by Killer Guitars for over 10 years, and often uses custom-made Fascist models. When she first joined Mary's Blood, she mainly used a KG-Fascist Grave Stone, a signature model of Seikima-II guitarist Luke Takamura that has a body sculpted to have a stone-like texture and a carving of a hand leaving scratch marks.
She named hers "Ao Kirako" (蒼きらこ) and swapped the pickups to Seymour Duncan; a '59 Bridge (SH-1b) in the front, and a Duncan Custom (TB-5) in the back. Saki then had "Beni Kirako" (紅きらこ) made, a red KG-Fascist Vice model with an EMG 81 pickup in the front, an EMG 85 in the back, and a steampunk pick guard.
In 2021, Killer released her signature model, the KG-Fascinator Seven the Empress. After borrowing a prototype seven-string guitar from Killer to record "Angel's Ladder", Saki started writing songs for seven-strings and had them make one using the Stratocaster-like shaped body of the Fascist Vice.
With the body made out of alder because she likes the sound, she had the maple neck with ebony fretboard made slightly thinner than most seven-string guitars because of her small hands.
It has Seymour Duncan pickups, a SH-10b-7 Full Shred in the front and a SH-8b-7 Invader in the back, and a "galaxy black" paint job with cherry blossom petals added because she wanted it to still be cute and "girlish". Saki named hers "Wagara-chan" (和柄ちゃん). She also has signature guitar picks with Killer.

Saki maintains a close relationship with her family, often expressing gratitude towards her parents for their unwavering support throughout her career.
Saki's father listened to Western music of the 1970s and 1980s, but she did not fall in love with it herself until junior high, when she started playing classical and electric guitar. Although a member of the brass band since elementary school, a friend asked her to join the classical guitar club in junior high.
There she played music by Southern All Stars, Spitz and the Beatles and developed her love of Western rock and pop music. She received her first electric guitar from the father of one of her younger brother's classmates. Brian May was the first guitarist she became a fan of and Queen + Paul Rodgers were the first musicians she ever saw live.
Saki was inspired to become a musician after seeing footage of Seikima-II's reunion on NHK and wanting to be their guitarist Jail O'Hashi. In high school she was in a cover band named Kathy & Carol (キャシー＆キャロル), with whom she had her first live performance competing in a contest judged by Seikima-II guitarist Ace Shimizu.
Also in high school, Saki performed with Rolly at an acoustic guitar seminar he held. From 2009 to 2010, she was a member of the pioneering all-female heavy metal band Destrose.

The guitarist revealed that manufactured guitar slides are too big for her thin fingers, so she inspected all the bottles in her house until finding that salt bottles fit perfectly and said she planned to bring them on tour with her. Saki's Marshall Custom Shop Tattoo Series amplifiers have become one of her trademarks.
It has a CSJVM410T5 head and a CS1960AT5 cabinet, with a Fractal Audio Systems Axe-Fx III. She bought it due to its flashy paint job of a skeleton and said it was the only one in Japan at the time because the distributor thought no one would want them.

Admission was free but donations were encouraged to aid recovery from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which is the reason the concert used as little electricity as possible.
