Enako started cosplaying in second year of middle school after she became interested in the animated series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and saw other cosplayers portraying the main character in Akihabara.[5]

On October 24, 2012, Enako and fellow cosplayers Kuroneko [ja] and Akira Itsuki [ja] made their major label debut as the idol group Panache! under the label Defstar Records.[6] The group disbanded on April 26, 2013[7] and Enako entered a temporary hiatus in her idol activities.

In 2016, Enako revealed on a television show that she made over 1 million yen a month, and made 10 million yen in two days at that year's Comiket event.[3] The Straits Times later reported that Enako made 130,000 Singapore dollars in one day at Comiket 2018. She also made an appearance at Comiket 2019.[9][10]

On December 16, 2020, Enako made her debut as a solo singer with the release of her first mini-album, Dress Re Code.[11]

On April 11, 2021, Enako launched her YouTube channel.[12]
