## Trivia

### General

* Jun's costume 'theme' seems to be white, which may be a reference to the universal symbol of good and purity.
* Jun's title of "Chosen One" has made her special even amongst other Kazamas, as stated in her *Tekken 2* profile.
* According to Katsuhiro Harada, Jun is a terrible cook and that Jin says her cooking "kills the ingredients for a second time". Jun is bad at cooking because she is often distracted by the ecological impact of what she is making.
* In an interview covering the *Tekken 8* story and gameplay trailer, Harada stated that Jun's closeness to animals is because of her profession in wildlife conservation, but also because of her high level as a fighter. In East Asian martial arts myths, martial artists project an aura as powerful fighters, but extremely adept fighters are able to avoid projecting such a spirit. The birds and animals approaching Jun thus also show that she is able to avoid projecting such an aura because she is an extremely proficient fighter.

### Tekken X Hazbin Hotel

* While Jun shares a personal interest with her son like forest bathing, the two have 3 other similar personal interests, such as the Demon Royal family, Hazbin Hotel, and Vaggie.
* Like *Tekken Tag Tournament 2*, in arcade mode of *Tekken X Hazbin Hotel* (tag option only), after being defeated, Jun transforms into Unknown along with Charlie transforming into her full demon form.
* The following of Jun's sub-bosses that she will face:
	+ **3rd stage:** Helsa, Killjoy, or Eboshi
	+ **6th stage:** Ogre, Stella, or Velvette
