A video about their relationship has attracted more than 12 million views.
The pair co-own a maid-themed cafe, which brought the daughter’s dream to life.
Yuka, 37, told the Japanese media outlet Oricon News that she and her 23-year-old daughter share such a close bond that it feels like they are best friends, despite the tough start when her daughter was born.
Yuka said that due to her irregular periods, she did not realise she was pregnant at 13 until her belly began to grow, prompting her to confirm it with a test.
“I did not know what to do. I felt anxious every morning,” she said.
