Junior

Appearance
Junior has a pink baby hat and a bib with fishes and blue jumper and diaper.

He looks happy and hungry, later crying.

History
The young mother cares lovely about her baby. The baby is first seen in a along with his parents. Since the town is flooded, people need to get into boats. The family meets Ponyo and Sōsuke on a giant toy boat. The mother thinks her baby like Ponyo, who stares at him for several seconds. Ponyo pours a container of soup meant for Junior, but the mother has it instead, since the baby can only drink milk at his age.

Ponyo gives her sandwich to Junior's mother. When Ponyo and Sōsuke are leaving, the baby starts crying because he has a cold. Ponyo then runs over the water and then creepily smuggles his face, curing his cold. He starts laughing, but isn't seen again after that.

Trivia

 * As Hayao Miyazaki explained to Rumi Hiiragi that Junior's mother is "a lady from Taishō era", it is implied that this family is deceased.
