Junko Konno/History

Junko Konno was an idol in the 1980s, whose popularity caused the rise of idol's in that decade in Japan. She meets her unexpected fate during her trip to Kyushu.

Early Life
Born on September 2, 1964, Junko managed to stand out as a lavish artist at her young age, standing out in singing as well as acting, she achieved early fame at the end of the 70's and the beginning of the 80's at 19 years old, being one of the first idols of the Showa period.

Death
While on her first tour of Kyūshū, the two engines of the plane in which she was traveling were turned off and stopped working, since the planes are made to plan and land on flat ground as much as possible that it crashed in the mountains where the plane could not land. Junko had a tragic end at her young age, being on December 6, 1983, the day she died due to a plane crash.

Afterlife
Decades later, her body was recovered by Kotaro Tatsumi, who managed to bring her to life as a zombie in order to use her in her "Idosl Zombies" project. Today Junko is still trying to maintain her image and personality of the idol 80's, which is seen several times complexed by how quickly the world has changed since her death.

Episode 1
After their successful death metal performance in a death metal festival, all of the zombie girls regain their senses, she wakes up along with Ai Mizuno and Lily Hoshikawa but was frightened upon seeing Tae Yamada.

Episode 2
Tae Yamada's habit of biting and chasing after people scares Junko, motivating her to escape the mansion. However, she and Ai Mizuno accidentally startle each other when they run into each other outside, alerting Sakura Minamoto who had come looking for Ai. Although Sakura is against the idea of leaving, the three proceed to climb over the fence and head to town. Sakura's pleas to return to the mansion fall to deaf ears until a policeman notices the zombie bunch and opens fire at them.

Episode 3
During Kōtarō Tatsumi's briefing for a guerrilla performance, she points out she's more used to performing solo, a fact he promptly ignores. Junko and Ai Mizuno show very little enthusiasm in participating in idol activities and remain in the van to merely observe Franchouchou at first during the guerrilla show. However, after witnessing several mistakes, they finally decide to step in and help salvage the performance, with one young girl remaining for audience. Later in the evening, she expresses being glad having tried group performance and thanks Ai for helping out.

Episode 4
Junko becomes excited and blushes when Kōtarō Tatsumi reveals the location of their business trip is in the Ureshino Hot Springs, but quickly tries to hide it. Arriving in the scene, she is a bit doubtful about sightseeing being a good idea at first, but joins the group nevertheless. She walks besides Sakura Minamoto in most following slides showing them enjoying their time sightseeing and helps her splash water on a fish sculpture that is rumored to help with skin and health, although being much more reserved while half of their group is drooling against a display window of a bakery store. She also joins the foot bath with other zombies and assures that despite her solo performer background, she will do her best if others are serious about it as well.

After their sponsored event, Junko overhears Saki Nikaidō and Sakura arguing whether or not to sneak into the hot baths, and expresses her wish to join them.

Episode 5
Preparing for the Drive-In Tori commercial they were about to film, Junko expresses her dismay towards the chicken suits they were ordered to wear, though Ai Mizuno points out it's so they can get some real outfits in the future and Sakura Minamoto says it looks good on her. The rest of the shot goes without incidents for her until she has to help stopping Tae Yamada from biting the Drive-In Tori mascot, Cucco-kun.

Later, in Kōtarō Tatsumi's briefing about his plans to send the girls to participate in Gatalympics, Junko questions the glamorousness of the mud sports and appears totally devastated by the Franchouchou t-shirt design Kōtarō presents to them. The Gatalympics remind her of swimsuit only sporting events from the past, but when asked if she had participated in one, she was quick to point out she made sure not to stand out in them. Her performance in the competition itself was rather poor, on the bicycle track she was hardly stable on a bike to begin with and on the Tarzan swing she accidentally let the rope slip from her hands before even getting to swing on it. Okoba, who has been watching the competition, recognizes Junko from somewhere and begins investigating the past of Franchouchou's members.

Episode 6
It is revealed that Junko died from a plane crash when she was heading to Saga for her first tour in Kyushu.
