Junko Konno

Junko Konno, also known as Zombie 4, is one of the main characters from the Zombieland Saga series.
== Charactah Account ==
A legendary idol from the Showa period who pioneered the industry in the 1980s. A product of her time, she is more used to performing solo than with a group, and has difficulty interacting with other people.
Junko seems to be calm, collected, little shy, but also a little serious if not daring. This serious side is shown when she tries to escape the mansion, collaborates with Saki and Sakura in going in the Hot Springs, and when it comes to idols. She seems prone to panic whenever something disturbing happens. Because of the different time period she lived in, her views of Idols contrast from modern times.

== Trivia ==
* Junko is the revived representation of the idols "Showa" of the 70s and 80s. Calm, reserved and fearful, Junko is the image of what the artists showed the public on the small screen.
* As revealed in the post-credits scene of "Episode 19”, Junko's flight ("DSN Airlines Flight 842") appears to have crashed into the sea, as reported by the Japanese coast guard that was responsible for the recovery efforts; Other pieces of the article that are glimpsed upon suggest that the plane was "split in two" in the middle of the fuselage, and that there was something strange about one of the halves of the plane.
** Junko's body is full of stitched patches, as the impact of the plane where she was caused by a great explosion completely destroying her body and giving her serious burns, which is why she has patches of different colors.
** Junko's death was probably even more painful, especially when it comes to her zombie mindset and personality. Considering that Junko was trapped in a plane that fell directly to the ground, she was forced to hear the painful screams of many, many passengers who succumbed to her sudden death alongside Junko. While Junko was much more confident when she was human, the whole death experience she went through literally broke her mindset. This explains why Junko is the most cowardly, the shyest, and the quietest of the group. Because she never got over her traumatic death.
* Junko died three months after her nineteenth birthday.
** Based on the timeline, Junko's actual age is 54 as she remarked in Episode 6 that she would have been a grandmother if she was still alive.
*** Her age is indirectly mentioned in her solo "50 and 4 Things Left Behind".
* Junko's fate is similar to that of singer Kyu Sakamoto, who died in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123.
* Junko has same cup size and body type as Ai Mizuno, both of them having two of the slimmest figures in group.
* Junko shares the same English voice actor as Ai Hayasaka from the series Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
* Junko shares the same date of death as Romero.
* It is possible that her name is a reference to other Japanese singers of that time such as Junko Oashi or Junko Yagami.
* Initially, she addresses her friends by their last name, such as referring to Sakura as "Minamoto-san". In Episode 10, she has changed by calling Sakura "Sakura-san.
* According to the events of the Drama CD 1: Secret Before Christmas SAGA, Junko has a Christmas song.
* Despite being the most softspoken member of the group, Junko has the deepest vocals during her performances in the original dub.
* When asked if Junko and Ai have the possibility of developing a romantic relationship, the crew responded that they did not think of the two as such outside of just "An idol from the Showa Period and another from the Heisei Period." 
* As of “Episode 13”, Junko works part-time as someone who retouches the paint of ceramic figurines at an unnamed establishment.
* There are currently four episodes that focuses on Junko which she shares with Ai. The episodes being "Episode 6", "Episode 7", "Episode 15" and "Episode 16".
** With both "Episode 7" and "Episode 16" being direct continuations of their previous episodes.
* Like a girl from the 80s, her dialogue is peppered with slang from that period. She calls television "the tube", compares digital photography to Polaroids, and at one point she calls Sakura a fool for not knowing what Polaroids are.
* Since she's from a time before things like desktops and social media were a part of everyday life. She have a hard time typing words into a search engine, for example.
* Shyness aside, she has been shown to have some trouble reading certain social situations.
** She compulsively lampshades any time the girls make a joke or reference about them being dead, as if the others had somehow forgotten themselves.
** She has a creepy habit of eavesdropping on conversations from behind a corner; once when Saki and Sakura plan to sneak out to some hot springs, and again when Saki and Ai are chatting privately on the balcony of the mansion.
** Her literal mindset of hers towards Kotaro's way of speaking in Revenge, causing her to break his guitar on stage.
** Rather than being scared that the audience will see the girls without makeup, she is annoyed with herself for rushing to make the mask.
** There are several indications that Junko cannot tie her tie properly, even being helped by Lily to tie it properly.
