Changes: Jun Hono/TV

Revision as of 22:57, 19 June 2015

Jun Hono is Tetsuya Tsurugi's partner and pilot of the Venus A in the Great Mazinger manga and anime. In the anime, Jun is the daughter of a Japanese mother and an African-American father. In the manga, Jun has much lighter skin and her father was Caucasian rather than African-American.

Appearance

Jun is an attractive woman, she has a thin built complexion, she has the average height and weight as a young woman her age, she has ruby lips and very light tan skin and long black messy hair, she wears a shirt with up and down stripes and a white skirt with long white boots.

Background

In both the manga and anime, Jun was ostracized for being biracial and was left in an orphanage. Eventually she met another orphan, Tetsuya and they became friends. Eventually, they were found by Kenzo Kabuto who adopted them both and trained them to defend themselves and pilot giant robots.

Personality

Similar to Sayaka Yumi, Jun is tomboyish and aggressive most of the time; occasionally shouting off or hitting people that annoy her (like Boss); but has shown some feminine qualities such as interest in fashion. She also shown compassion and caring feelings, especially to Tetsuya and Shiro. Jun was haunted by her past, something that was used against her in one episode.

Relationships

Kabuto Family

Jun has a deep amount of respect for Kenzo Kabuto as her adopted parent, though is not as close to him as Tetsuya is. She also bonded with Kenzo's son Shiro Kabuto, acting as an older sister for him.

Tetsuya Tsurugi

Jun has been together with Tetsuya since childhood, becoming his closest friend. Jun shows deeper romantic feelings for Tetsuya and is devoted faithfully to him. But Tetsuya is more focused on fighting the Mycenae Empire than anything else, which often causes them to argue. Nevertheless, she would always try to help Tetsuya in any sort of problem.

Boss

Jun is rather annoyed with Boss and his attraction to her. She usually hits Boss whenever he does something dumb like having Bakarasu spy on her.

History

Jun appeared with Tetsuya when introducing themselves to Koji Kabuto and Sayaka. After they left Japan, Jun fought against the Mycenae Empire with Venus A alongside Tetsuya and Great Mazinger. In some episodes, Jun was confronted with her past in enemy attacks; but Tetsuya and her friends helped her get through it. Jun would even help Tetsuya fight against the Mycenae Empire's generals including the Great General of Darkness and Great Marshall of Hell.

Abilities

Compared to Sayaka, Jun is much more physically trained in martial arts and piloting skills, having started since her childhood. She is able to hold herself in a fight all by herself, though sometimes she does need assistance (usually from Boss or Tetsuya). Jun's piloting skills are good enough to fly the Queen Star through hordes of enemies and effectively use the Venus A in combat.
