Although she was born in Toyama, she actually grew up in the Kansai region, having lived in Moriguchi, Osaka from age two until the fifth grade,[7] and in Kyoto from the fifth grade until the second year of junior high school.[8]  When she moved to Tokyo due to her father's work, she began modeling for women's fashion magazines at the recommendation of a relative. Later, after gaining an interest in acting through an audition for a commercial, she was introduced to Hirata Office and began her acting career.[9] She graduated from Tokyo Metropolitan Tamagawa High School. After appearing in films such as "Utatama", she began her full-fledged acting career in 2009, playing the heroine Hikari Natsumi in " Kamen Rider Decade ".[10]

She won the audition for the role of a female detective partner to the lead actor, Ikki Sawamura, in the drama Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons Investigation Unit from among 2,298 other candidates.[11] In June 2017, she moved from Hirata Office to Sony Music Artists and changed her stage name to Kanna Moriya.[12]
