Debuted in April 2013 with the oneshot Kagarigari, which won an Excellent Work in the 70th JUMP Treasure Newcomer Manga Awards. Aiming for serialization, she then published Monjushirou Kyoudai in Jump Next!! 2014 Vol. 2. This was followed by Rokkotsu-san in Weekly Shounen Jump 2014 No. 39 as a part of the 9th Golden Future Cup. Again aiming for serialization, she published Haeniwa no Zigzag in Weekly Shounen Jump 2015 No. 21. After this and another oneshot, Dontsuu Kazaguruma, also failed to be serialized, editor Katayama Tatsuhiko advised her to “return to the starting point”. Reworking Kagarigari, 3 storyboard chapters of Kisatsu no Nagare were created. These storyboards were then further worked into Gotouge's first serialization, Kimetsu no Yaiba, in 2016.
