Kino was born in Saitama Prefecture on February 12, 1997. She had been interested in anime and manga from an early age, particularly liking the series One Piece and Daily Lives of High School Boys. During her junior high school years, she became aware of the career of voice acting after watching a talk show produced by the gaming magazine Famitsu; her interest in voice acting was further influenced by watching the film One Piece: Episode of Chopper: Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Sakura. Due to these reasons, she decided to pursue a voice acting career upon entering high school.

Kino enrolled in a voice acting training school during her third year of high school. After finishing her training, she made her debut as a voice actor in the 2014 video game Thousand Memories. According to her, as it was her first role and she was nervous about how it would turn out, she decided to "practice rigorously" for the role. Her first anime followed that same year when she played the role of a waitress in an episode of the anime series A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepherd. In 2016, she played her first main role as Silvia Silkcut in the anime series Hybrid × Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia. In 2017, she played the role of Collon in the anime series WorldEnd. In 2018, she played the roles of Sayaka Itomi in Katana Maidens ~ Toji No Miko and Hanako Honda in Asobi Asobase; she together with her Asobi Asobase co-stars performed the series' opening and closing themes "Three Piece" (スリピス, Suripisu) and "Inkya Impulse" (インキャインパルス, Inkya Inparusu), respectively.
