Junko Enoshima (Japanese: 江ノ島 盾子, Hepburn: Enoshima Junko) is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Spike Chunsoft's Danganronpa series. Featured as the mastermind in the series' first two games as the true identity of Monokuma, in the spin-off Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls in the guises of Shirokuma and Kurokuma, and in the prequel light novel Danganronpa Zero and anime Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School: Despair Arc, serving as the protagonist of the former[which?] as the Ultimate Analyst, Ryōko Otonashi (Japanese: 音無 涼子, Hepburn: Otonashi Ryōko). Junko is a student of Hope's Peak Academy and is the Ultimate Fashionista, a charismatic and hyperintelligent model of gyaru fashion who, along with her fraternal twin sister and body double Mukuro Ikusaba, forms the Ultimate Despair, ultimately bringing about the end of civilization through a movement known as "The Tragedy". In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Junko arranges a killing game between her former classmates to test their metrics for hope and despair, counting herself and Mukuro as participants, before having her consciousness converted into an artificial intelligence known as Alter Ego Junko on her death, left to Izuru Kamukura to continue her plans along with his own, in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

The identity of Junko is also adopted by Mukuro in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Zero, by the Servant's intended successor in Ultra Despair Girls, and by the showrunners of the Danganronpa reality television series in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. The character has also appeared in manga and musical adaptations of the series.
