Description
Junko Tange serves as the president of Green Leaves Entertainment and acts as the producer for the idol group Wake Up, Girls!. She is depicted as a fair-skinned young woman with neck-length blond-brown hair, with bangs hanging on the right side, and hazel eyes. Her typical attire consists of long-sleeved shirts paired with jackets and skirts, and she is often seen wearing earrings.
Her personality is notably abrasive and direct. Junko is characterized as a chain-smoker with a foul mouth and a short temper, and she frequently engages in both physical and verbal harassment towards her subordinate, Kouhei Matsuda. Despite this rough exterior and a manner that often suggests she has little regard for others, her underlying motivations reveal a genuine care for the Wake Up, Girls! group. She works tirelessly to ensure the girls achieve success in the competitive entertainment industry. Her actions are driven by a determination to see the idol group succeed, even if her methods are unorthodox.
Within the story of the franchise, including New Chapter!, Junko is responsible for managing the group's activities and arranging their performances and promotional events. For instance, she is shown organizing a bus tour for the group in Sendai to connect with local fans. Her key relationships are primarily defined by her professional interactions. Her dynamic with Kouhei Matsuda is characterized by her constant badgering and her history of giving him orders, such as the initial command to search for talent to form the group. While her relationship with the members of Wake Up, Girls! is that of a demanding producer, it is clear that her harsh demeanor masks a protective and invested interest in their welfare and future.
Notable abilities include her acumen as a producer and manager, having previously managed the popular duo Twinkle and trained talents in Sendai before the formation of Wake Up, Girls!. Her character development reveals a trajectory from a seemingly irresponsible figure who, before the group's debut, ran away with the company's funds after claiming a personal emergency, to a more present and dedicated producer who consistently works to promote the group. Her role is central to the group's operations, providing both the obstacles and the opportunities that define the idols' journey.
