As a child, Jun was quite adorable. With his allowance, he once bought an "Ultraman" eraser, and his first crush was when he was 5. Kids at school gave him the nickname "frog" because of the way he laughs. His favorite time was elementry school, and on the last days of summer vacation he would procrastinate and do his over-the-summer assignments. He belonged to the local baseball league and aspired to be a top student and transfer student as well. His uncle made him take lessons in pendmanship and kendo, but it doesn't look like it paid off since Jun's handwriting is still messy and he's quite the weak one. He used to spend 700 yen on candy and sneak it during class by putting it in his pocket and eating it when the teacher wasn't looking.
Jun, like a lot of people, had a rough life in Junior High: he hated it. His English teacher would play mean tricks on him, and always call on him in class, therefore he began to dislike that subject and preferred the fine arts instead. He was goalkeeper for the school soccer team, but wasn't very good at it. He wasn't very popular and soon his personality began to change. He became extroverted and stopped laughing. Jun's anxiety and dislike of school escaleted in high school. Jun began to have doubt in his relationships [both friends and love-related] and lost all interest in studies and social activities. As he turned 18, he began to work as a bartendor in a shot bar, where he at last met Kirito.
There were rumors going around at one time that Kirito tried to seduce Jun,
but we can't believe in everything we see on the net or hear. Being the weakest
member of the band, he is picked on the most by the other members [especially
by Kirito]. He is more like the "Child" of the band. Jun has composed
a few songs for PIERROT, such as Finale, Sarubia, Makka na Hana, Atena, Labyrinth
[collaboration with Aiji] Landscape [collaboration with Kirito] Paradox and
Yuugai no Tenshi. His songs are a lot softer than Aiji's and Kirito's, they
actually sound more ballad-like. He composed a lot on the "Kikurui PIERROT"
album. Jun and Kirito are the only original members of PIERROT back in 1994,
moreover the former went by "JUN" instead of using the Kanji as
he does now. [His Kanji means moist or to profit from] During
the indies days, Jun lived with Takeo and Aiji.
