For several months prior to her arrest in July 2014, Igarashi, who also goes by the pseudonym 'Rokudenashiko" ( ろくでなし子 or "good-for-nothing girl"), had gained notoriety for creating and displaying a variety of works of art based on the shape of her genitals. 
Kwa miezi kadhaa kabla ya kukamatwa kwake mwezi Julai, Igarashi, anayetumia jina la 'Rokudenashiko" ( ろくでなし子 yaani "msichana wa hovyo"), alipata umaarufu kwa kutengeneza aina mbalimbali za kazi ya sanaa kwa kutumia sura ya sehemu zake za siri.
