Personal life

Yamada is bisexual. She has two brothers and Yoko Minamida was her aunt.

Yamada was subjected to bullying in junior high school and it caused her to stop going to school for some time. During her teens Yamada beat the leader of a girl's gang and four of the girl's friends for which she was sent to a juvenile correctional facility.

After her parents divorced, her father disappeared for five years due to money problems occasioned by his gambling habits until he had a stroke that left him hospitalized and with cognitive problems and Yamada has taken care of him since then.
