Junko Enoshima

Junko Enoshima, also known as Ultimate Fashionista, Ultimate Despair and Ultimate Analyst, is a character from the Danganronpa series.
== Charactah Account ==
The true mastermind behind Monokuma, whose identity is revealed in the final chapter of the game. Junko is the twin sister of Mukuro Ikusaba, with whom she pulled a twin switch before the Despair Game begins. Both sisters were members of a movement known as "Ultimate Despair", which caused "The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History" and led to the world's current state. Junko has a paradoxical fetish for despair (both causing and receiving it) and wishes to share her twisted feelings with the entire world. The "School Life of Mutual Killing" is the final stage of her plan to plunge the world into an eternal state of anarchy, by proving that even the "best" of the world will turn on each other given proper incentive.

== Trivia ==
* The name Junko means "shield" (jun) and "child" (ko).
* Junko's surname Enoshima can literally mean “island of the bay”.
** Or, it can refer to the island in the Kanagawa prefecture.
* According to Kazutaka Kodaka, Junko is the type of villain who has no sympathetic qualities nor tragic backstory to explain why she does what she does.
** In Danganronpa 3, it's revealed that similar to Izuru, her supernatural analytical skills caused her constant boredom; as a result, she developed an obsession with unpredictable despair.
* Fitting her unstable and changing personality, Junko has no listed likes or dislikes.
* Junko is one of the two characters to have gone through two executions, the other being Chiaki (though both of their second executions involved their AI counterpart).
* One of Junko's poses (where she puts her hand in front of her face, leaving only one eye visible) is the same of DIO from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure; in the Japanese version of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, she also says DIO's Stand Cry "Muda muda muda!", during her Bullet Time Battle.
* In her haughty "Queen" personality, Junko's crown appears based on that of the King Slime from the Dragon Quest series. Notably, the first thing she says when she makes her appearance in the climax of the original Danganronpa is a direct quote of the Dragonlord from the original Dragon Quest.
* According to her profile in the official Danganronpa art book, Junko wears black panties with red trim near the waistband, semi-transparent sections at the hips, and an image of Monokuma's left eye on the front. They go unseen in the game proper; due to Junko's role as the hidden mastermind of the Killing Game, Makoto is unable to have Free Time Events with her.
** In the art book, Junko narrates her own student profile as herself, instead of the Monokuma persona. At the bottom of the page, the "Monokuma Room Check" (which normally shows details of the student's room in the academy) is replaced with a "Dot Pattern" section, showing sprites of Junko's appearance in School Mode that went unused.
* In the Japanese version of Danganronpa 2, Junko references the series God of War by name. In the English version, this is changed to "Knifearella", a reference to Bayonetta.
* In the Japanese version, Junko and her twin sister Mukuro are both voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi.
** In the English version, Amanda Céline Miller and Erin Fitzgerald both voice Junko, with each voice actor voicing different parts of Junko's personality. Fitzgerald voices "Teacher Junko", "Monokuma Junko" and "Model Junko". Miller and Fitzgerald also voice Shirokuma (Miller) and Kurokuma(Fitzgerald) respectively, who are physical avatars for Alter Ego Junko.
** Miller and Fitzgerald also share the voice of Toko Fukawa (with Miller voicing Toko and Fitzgerald voicing Genocide Jack), and Seiko Kimura (Miller voices her as a child and Fitzgerald voices her as a Hope's Peak student and Future Foundation member.)
* Junko was named the "Most popular game character for cosplay" in the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition (2018)
