Mutō was born in a hospital in Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo, on April 29, 1996.[1] Her father, Yoshinori Mutō is a horse trainer,[2] and her younger brother Miyabi Mutō is a horse jockey.[3]

Joining the talent agency Amuse Inc. in 2004, Mutō began her career as a child model for the magazine Kids Style. In 2008, she joined the idol group Karen Girl's alongside Suzuka Nakamoto and Yuika Shima. The trio was active for one year.[4]

In 2010, Mutō and Nakamoto joined idol group Sakura Gakuin, as one of the founding members, and as the Student Council President in the school theme of the group.[5] Later that year, Mutō joined the group's first sub-unit Twinklestars, which acts as a school baton-twirling club.[6] On March 25, 2012, she graduated from Sakura Gakuin.[7]
