Eva earned a BA and MA degree in English Literature in Japan, and also a BFA degree in Jazz Performance at The City College of New York. Eva has regularly been performing in many jazz venues in New York City and Tokyo almost for 20 years.

Eva found a perfect instrument, ukulele to accompany herself when she started to work at a ukulele store, Uke Hut which is located in Long Island City, New York in summer, 2016. She learned how to play this instrument quickly and improved much faster than she thought. Since then, Eva has performed on her own stage, called, Ukulele Platform at Uke Hut every Friday night.
