Early Life to Trainee
Furukawa Konatsu was born in Kanagawa, Japan on June 5th, 1992. She was a fan of Morning Musume from a young age and auditioned to be a part of Hello! Project Kids. Although she was unsuccessful, she auditioned again in 2004 to be a part of Hello! Project Eggs.

From 2004 to 2010, she remained an "Egg" or Hello! Project trainee until a change in the trainee system. Up Front Group, parent of Hello! Project, announced Hello! Project Eggs in high school would be required to leave. Those in middle school had a choice to stay, but that later changed. Being part of the first generation of trainees, she was in her last year of high school and given no other option but to complete her training and leave.
