In 2021, she won the first Sakura Bud Tournament for young female professionals and was drafted in the first round by the KONAMI Mahjong Fight Club for the M.League. That same year, she set a new record in the league for the highest score in a single match with 105,500 points. Her success continued into the 2022-23 season, where she was named the regular season's Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Beyond her voice acting and mahjong careers, Date is known for her artistic skills, particularly in drawing with watercolor pencils, and is proficient with software like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
