Junko Enoshima is the main antagonist of the Danganronpa franchise.
A student labeling herself as the Ultimate Fashionista, it is soon revealed that she is the founder of the organization known as "Ultimate Despair", a terrorist organization responsible for "The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Incident in the History of Mankind" and also the true identity of the bear that oversees the game, Monokuma.
In the English versions, she was voiced by Amanda Celine Miller and Erin Fitzgerald in the games, and by Jamie Marchi in the anime. In Japanese, she was voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi and the late Sayaka Kanda in the stage play versions.
