Trivia[]

Special Skill: Playing the Trumpet
Favorite Food: HARIBO Gummies
- Her catchphrase is "Kumi that loves Gummy" (グミが好きな久美 Gumi suki-na Kumi)
Originally applied to become a Keyakizaka46 member because she was a fan of Nogizaka46
- She considered auditioning for the first Keyakizaka46 audition, but ultimately thought it was impossible for her to pass. She regretted not auditioning soon after. Later, she learned about the Hiragana Keyakizaka46 audition while watching Keyakitte, Kakenai? and signed up
- She kept her application a secret from her parents, who were against pursuing jobs in the entertainment industry. When she progressed to the third round and began streaming on SHOWROOM as part of the audition process, she told her parents. Her mother was furious, but her father encouraged her. Now both of her parents support her activities
Eldest member of Hinatazaka46
Announced as the Captain of Hiragana Keyakizaka46 by SHOWROOM on June 3rd, 2018
Known for her inspirational phrase「死ぬ気でやってみ! 死なねぇから!」(Shinu-ki yatte mi, shinanee kara - 'Go for it with all your might, you won't die'). Takahashi Minami and several other artists have also said the phrase, coined by the late businessman and motivational speaker Sugimura Taro.
Close friends with Kato Shiho
Shares a family name with Sasaki Mirei. Their nicknames are therefore similar (Sasaku and Sasami). On many Hinatazaka46 programs where they both appear, they're referred to by first name only ("Kumi" and "Mirei") whilst other members go by family names
Can play trumpet. Performed Whiteberry's "Summer Festival" on trumpet on Keyakitte, Kakenai?
- Did brass band club activities all the way through high school
Did classical ballet until junior high school
Fan of Baseball team Yomiuri Giants
Has an older brother
Graduated from university March 2018
Tested positive for COVID-19 on 05 Apr 2022
- 15 other Hinatazaka46 members and CGM48's Fahsai also tested positive that day
Appeared as the regular MC on Saturday session for TV Tokyo's "Sports Real Live Live~SPORTS Real & Live~", starting from April 6, 2024.
