Jun Hono/Ōta

Jun Hono is the partner and childhood friend of Tetsuya Tsurugi in the Great Mazinger manga by Gosaku Ōta. She is the pilot of the robot Venus A.
==Background==
Jun is the child of an African-American father and a Japanese mother, at some point she was left at an orphanage where she was ridiculed for her ethnicity. The only friend she could find was Tetsuya. Eventually they were adopted by Kenzo Kabuto and were trained to fight against the imminent arrival of the Mycenae Empire.
==Appearance==
Jun has dark skin that she inherited from her father and long black hair. She has an attractive figure that is lean but also well built. Her pilot suit is colored white and red with a helmet that resembles a cowboy hat.
==Personality==
Jun is friendly and polite but she is also strong willed and independent. She is very close to Tetsuya and has unrecruited feelings for him. Jun was haunted by her past of continuously being ridiculed, something that was used against her by enemies. However, with lives on the line she got over her fears.
==Abilities==
Jun is a decent pilot, able to effectively pilot Venus A. She is fierce in combat, enough that even Tetsuya has problems sparring with her.
==History==
Jun battled alongside Tetsuya for most of the series with Venus A, often taking the most damage. Whatever obstacle, came their way she never parted from Tetsuya such as when the Japanese government created mass-produced Great Mazingers or when the entire Science Fortress Lab was forced to go on the run from Great Marshall of Hell and the government. With help from allies in America, she and Tetsuya managed to make a comeback against Hell. In the final battle, Jun fought against the Generals but with Venus too damaged to move any further she was forced to watch as Tetsuya sacrificed himself to destroy Hell for good. Jun mourned his death in tears. What happened to Jun afterwards is unknown.
