Personal life
Ito was born on May 4, 1994, in Chiba Prefecture. Her mother chose the name "Sairi", and her grandfather chose the kanji for her name: the character takes on the reading "sai". She is the youngest of three siblings: Shunsuke Ito (comedian) of the comedy duo Oswald is her older brother, and she also has an older sister. Their father ran a road construction company that went bankrupt following the collapse of the bubble economy, and debt collectors pursued him. She and her siblings were raised by their mother and aunt following their parents' divorce. Her mother worked at a snack bar and delivered milk before becoming a painter. Ito has Korean ancestry, though she has stated that she can not speak Korean and has never left Japan. She originally wanted to become a dancer.

In April 2022, Ito was reported to be dating screenwriter Ryuta Horai, which she later confirmed.
