Career Kamimura had wanted to become an idol due to her admiration of Miho Watanabe. On August 19, 2018, she passed the Sakamichi Series Joint Audition and was assigned to Hiragana Keyakizaka46 (now Hinatazaka46). She first appeared in the group's concert on December 13 at the Nippon Budokan. Her catchphrase is When she joined Hiragana Keyakizaka46, she was its only third generation member, until the three other members joined her in February 2020; this has drawn comparisons to Neru Nagahama, who was the only member when Hiragana Keyakizaka46 was formed.

In 2023, Kamimura's first photobook, , was released by Shufu to Seikatsusha. It was shot at three locations with personal significance to her: Miyazaki Prefecture, which had maintained a close relationship with Hinatazaka46; Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture, where she had visited a shrine to pray during the Sakamichi Series Joint Audition period; and Tokyo, where she was born and raised. It sold 36 thousand copies in its release week and topped the Oricon Weekly Photobook chart. The same year, she starred as Serufu Yua in the live-action adaptation of the animated series Do It Yourself!!, originally aired on Mainichi Broadcasting System and TBS Television.

Having been part of the lineups of all Hinatazaka46 title songs up to 2025, Kamimura was not selected for that of the group's 2026 sixteenth single, "Cliffhanger", and instead became the center of the non-selected team, , making her the first member to have been both title song and Hiragana Hinatazaka46 center. In an interview, she commented that she had always "respected" Hiragana Hinatazaka46 and hoped to "make a lot of eye contact". She returned to the title song lineups of both subsequent singles of that year, "Kind of Love" and "Ichaicha Mushi".

Image Yohei Nakayama of Real Sound described Kamimura as a "unique" character who combines "seriousness" and "surrealism", Nakayama also remarked that the rock-style dance music of her solo song was "unexpected from a Sakamichi group" and compared her "cool and powerful" singing voice to that of Ami Suzuki.
