She always calls herself "17 years old" (井上喜久å�１７æ³ã�§ã�™). Fans would refute her jokingly with "Oi! Oi!" (roughly equivalent to "yeah right"). To further promote her ideal, she founded a "cult" of "17-year-olds" (Juu-nana-sai Kyou, １７æ³æ•™). Current cult members include Yukari Tamura, Sakura Nogawa, Rina Satou, and Yui Horie.
