Her career began in the entertainment industry as a founding member of the idol group Nogizaka46, where she was famously the "eternal ace" and original center for the group's early singles. She was active with Nogizaka46 from 2011 until her graduation in 2018.
Ikoma's entry into voice acting occurred in 2015 when she voiced the character 2GB子 in the television anime Go!Go!家电男子. After several years focused on other acting pursuits, she returned to voice acting with a significant role in 2022.
