Takei Junko is a Witch of the 504th Joint Fighter Wing, originating from Fuso and attached with the Fuso Imperial Navy. From her soft demeanor and gentle manners, she was called the "Lady of Libau". Meanwhile, Pilot Officer Lucchini simply calls her JunJun. An old acquaintance of Sakamoto Mio, the two are on a first name basis with each other. The daughter of a high-ranking officer in the Navy, Junko never had any special desire to become a Witch at first, but once her magic power manifested itself she was sent to a training facility. She received instruction on Kodoukan Kendo (講導館剣道) under Squadron Leader Kitagou, and had been friends with Squadron Leader Sakamoto and Flying Officer Wakamoto since their times in Maizuru. Incidentally, at that time she called Sakamoto by "Mio-chan" Well-informed about the international situation, Junko is a superior military officer that excels at seeing the big picture and sense of balance. In comparison to Sakamoto's great abilities as a combat commander, Junko has a reputation for her squad management, command and administrative coordination abilities, being deemed as an excellent officer cadet. It's been said that even Sakamoto obediently lends an ear to her opinions. Takei Junko is based on Junichi Sasai who was killed by Marion E. Carl, an 18.5-victory ace of Marine squadron VMF-223, one of the few Midway-based pilots to survive the Battle of Midway. At the time of his death, Sasai's official score stood at 27, and 57 claimed.
