While moving to Tokyo from Miyazaki Prefecture, Kanbe was invited to the staff of the women fashion magazine JJ in Shibuya at the age of nineteen and became a reader model. She mainly worked as an "S-size" model for the magazine.[2] Kanbe is left-handed (but she sometimes uses her right hand when writing with a pen).

After graduating from university, she was employed to an textile company, but due to the promotion of its products, she continued to work as a reader model with company approval, and she fainted with pressure and retired, and continued to work as a free reader model for two years after that.[2]

Kanbe was later scouted by her former entertainment office, Artist-house Pyramid, in 2008, and became popular as a tarento after making appearances in television programmes, in which made regular appearances, and made other works such as her singing début with the Hexagon unit Mai Satoda with Goda Kazoku, and publishing essay books.
