Seino debuted as Momoka Kurakano in the Tokyo Broadcasting System Television adaptation of Bisco Hatori's manga title Ouran High School Host Club in 2011. She successfully auditioned for the role of Sunmi in the 2014 Sono Sion action film Tokyo Tribe, a "hip-hop musical" about warring Tokyo gangs adapted on Santa Inoue's manga series, after minor roles in two films. While Variety's Dennis Harvey described Sunmi as a "secretive stranger" who becomes "an unstoppable killing machine when mistreated," Martin Tsai of the Los Angeles Times suggested that Sunmi's only reason for being in the film was "to flash her undergarment every time she does a roundhouse kick that inadvertently lifts up her skirt."
