She has severe cerebral palsy and experiences epilepsy, leaving her physical abilities equivalent to those of a three month old child. At the age of two and a half, she went to a mother-child care center, and at the age of four, she entered a local private preschool. Later she entered a local special needs school for people with intellectual disabilities. She is currently enrolled in high school for people with physical disabilities. Her eyesight is weak, with a vision range of about 30-cm. She can’t speak but babbles to communicate. Her dream is to be a model who can wear everything from high fashion to vintage clothing.

Junko is passionate about cooking and holds classes and workshops at home. She’s also the mother of Kokone. After becoming pregnant with her first daughter, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and was cured after treatment. However, due to the treatment, while she was pregnant with her second daughter, Kokone, her water broke at 20 weeks. She was hospitalized for two months, and gave birth at 27 weeks. Kokone was born with severe cerebral palsy and suffers from epilepsy. Having no role model, Junko struggled to raise her child. In 2012, when Kokone was enroled into a support school, Junko started a patient community in Tsukuba University Hospital. Today, she is the representative of the community called Paediatric Patients’ Chatting Group.
