In October, she debuted as a member of Iz*One with the release of "La Vie en Rose".[10]

In October 2020, Hitomi was the model for the Japanese brand titty&co for their Winter 2020 Collection; she later became the brand's exclusive model in 2021.

On 29 April 2021, Honda concluded activities with Iz*One with the expiration of her contract.[11][12] In May, she appeared in the final performance for the AKB48 Team 8 national tour, her first appearance as a member of the group after her hiatus.[13]
