Minami does her own stunts, and is an accomplished stunt woman and martial artist.
Because Minami's athletic build is such a contrast to the more diminutive members of Babymetal, fans have dubbed her "Muscle Metal.".
As Yoko Minato (Kamen Rider Marika) in Kamen Rider Gaim, she played both as the character herself and in the Kamen Rider suit. She was the first female actress to portray both her character and their Rider Form.
