Jun yearns for Yurika to notice him romantically, but even before she found out that Akito was still alive (2196) she did not return his affections. In fact Yurika barely notices Jun's constant romantic pinning and professions of his love for her, through his feelings are well known amongst the majority of the crew. 

Jun was a gifted officer with the United Earth Space force but is now the Nadesicos' first Officer.

After the Nadesico evaded the attack group commanded by Admiral Misumaru's (Frigates Pansey and Crocus, Destroyer Tobiume) that was sent to bring the crew under United Earth influence, Jun briefly left the Nadesico and returned to the United Earth space force. 

Jun commanded a group of Delphinium fighter in an effort to prevent the Nadesico from breaching Earth's second defensive line. Though he engaged the Nadesico's Aestavalis and brought them beyond the operational range of their external power supplies Jun was defeated by Akito, and after a near suicidal attempt to defend the Nadesico from an orbital weapons battery, Jun returned once again to the Nadesico, but this time to protect his true love Yurika

During the Nadesico's maiden  flight, a dangerous mission to the occupied world of Mars to recover personal and machinery vital to the war effort, Jun briefly became the commander of the Nadesico after Yurika entered a Zen trance (Episode 5 - Ruri's navigation log) while meditating on what it means to be the captain of a battleship.

Jun longs to impress Yurika with his gallantry and prowess in battle (Episode 12 - Those Unforgettable days) but he usually gets shot down, blown up, or rescued by Akito and Jiro.

As a sign of his heart felt sorrow , Jun has taken to eating instant Ramen noodles with Akatsuki Nagare and Seiya who share a few moments of loneliness, while watching half the women on board chase Akito (Episode 10 - The danger of femininity).
