In April 2021, Kosaka announced that her solo photobook, produced by the Seventeen magazine editorial staff, would be released on June 29. She would be the third Hinatazaka46 member to release a solo photobook, after Miho Watanabe and Kyōko Saitō. As a dinosaur enthusiast, she was also appointed the ambassador for Sony's DinoScience exhibition, which would be held from July to September. Kosaka played volleyball in middle school and occasionally demonstrates her skill in her appearances. She has an older brother who is a Keyakizaka46 fan.
