From 2002 to 2003, she was a member of the group "P-Girl" with Sachie Koike, Erika Itō, and Noriko Sagara.

In 2006, Kumada released her first single  after years of vocal training. A year later, she was appointed as the tourism ambassador of Gifu Prefecture's Hida/Mino Jiman Project. In 2011, at the request of boxer Kōki Kameda, Kumada served as a ring girl during his match in Osaka. That year, she also appeared in the fashion magazine I Love Mama.
