- Former member of Shino-Club
- Her official nickname was "Maririn" in her early days as an AKB48 member.
- Her parents named her "Mariko" because they wanted a name that would be easy for non-Japanese people to say if they moved overseas. They chose it for being similar to "Marie" or "Mary".
- She has a brother one year older and a sister six years younger.
- Her father was a Coast Guard officer of the Japan Coast Guard with a rank of 3rd Class Superintendent. For this reason she moved often as a child and frequently transferred schools.
- When she was in elementary school she lived in Tsushima City on Tsushima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture.
- When she was in high school she lived in Fukuoka and attended Fukuoka Prefectural Itoshima High School.
- She did many extracurricular activities growing up such as abacus, violin, piano, ballet, dance, rhythmic gymnastics, and kendo.
- She played tennis for 6 years from middle school to high school.
- She did not have any particular ambitions as a high school student. She spent most of her time at home and only considered enrolling in vocational schools.
- She moved to Tokyo on her own in 2005.
- She failed the AKB48 1st Generation auditions. However, she did not want to return to Fukuoka and was offered a part-time job at the AKB48 theater café instead. She became a hot topic among café customers, who said that she was cute and wrote to Akimoto Yasushi requesting for her to be allowed to audition.
- She had been very confident that she would pass the original 1st Generation members audition. After she failed she was embarrassed, and she even told customers at the café that she had simply missed the original audition date, not that she had failed.
- Akimoto saw how popular she was with fans and offered her a position in the group. He told her of the offer while she was preparing an ice cream sundae for a customer. She agreed to join, and was given four days to learn the Team A 1st Stage choreography. She debuted on January 22nd, 2006 during a Team A theater show.
- She is known for her love of Hamtaro and the song Koike from Team A's 3rd Stage.
- She was known to have a cool and mature character. She also often teased members and staff, who called her "sadistic".
- Her character in Majisuka Gakuen was named "Sado" because of this.
- A line in her A-side center song Ue Kara Mariko goes “Mariko high and mighty, you sadistic girl!”.
- However, fellow members described her as caring and thoughtful backstage. Nakamura Mariko said that Mariko once bought beef bentos for the kenkyuusei. Miyazawa Sae said that Mariko always gave her positive and helpful advice.
- She was known for her "air ocarina" gag, where she would pretend to play the ocarina. She had purchased an ocarina when she was younger because she liked the Ghibli movie Laputa: Castle in the Sky, but put it up for auction before learning to play.
- On October 13th, 2007 she injured her leg before a Team A theater show. She could not participate, but instead decided to work that one night as a member of the theater café staff.
- She became an exclusive model for "MORE" magazine in July 2008.
- During AKB48's rise to fame in 2009-2011, she was known as the AKB48 member with the most solo activities. She appeared regularly on more than 10 TV programs. In the first half of 2010 alone she appeared in 40 magazines and made over 160 TV appearances.

- By June 2009 her private blog reached 600,000 hits per day.
- Despite their large age gap, she became friends with Matsui Jurina during the filming of the Oogoe Diamond music video. Mariko felt bad for Jurina, as Jurina was the only SKE48 member among the AKB48 Senbatsu. Mariko said it reminded her of how she had joined Team A later than the other 1st Generation members.
- Jurina's solo photograph cover of the Oogoe Diamond CD pictures her shouting. She shared that she was shouting "Mariko-sama!" at the time.
- In February 2010 she was involved in a defamation lawsuit. Shukan Bunshun magazine had alleged that Mariko was in a relationship with Kubota Yasushi, the president of AKS. The rumors were untrue and AKS eventually won the lawsuit in September 2013.
