Junko Yamanaka (山中 純子 Yamanaka Junko?) is a Japanese animator, and character designer from Hyogo Prefecture. She served as key animator, animation director, and animation supervisor[Note 1] in Detective Conan anime, movies and OVAs. Another thing worth mentioning, she did character designing for the anime from episode 505 to episode 576, working along with Masatomo Sudo.

Biography

After graduating from secondary school, Junko Yamanaka joined the Yumeta Company (梦太カンパニー), a Japanese animation studio. She then became freelance after quitting the studio.

Yamanaka joined the production of the Detective Conan anime in 1997, starting with Episode 55: The Train Trick Murder Case. Later on, she constantly served as the key animator for some anime episodes. Her first time as assistant animation director in Detective Conan was Episode 174: The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case. After that, she began to work with Masatomo Sudo[Note 2] more often. In 2002, she served as the animation director of openings and endings, alongside Sudo. Until 2004, Yamanaka temporarily quit the production of the Detective Conan anime and focused more on the movies.

After Masato Sato stepped down from the director role, Yamanaka returned to the anime and was in charge of the character design of the anime starting episode 505, working with Sudo once again. She then quit the anime production in 2010, after finishing the animation directing work of Episode 561: The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall (Empty Fort Strategy) and stepped down from the character designer role some months later. Thereafter, she has only done key animation for two anime episodes: Episode 783: The Scarlet Truth in 2015 and Episode 964: Kogoro Mouri's Grand Lecture (Part 3) in 2019.

Ending credits of The Scarlet Alibi.

For the Detective Conan movies, her participation can be even dated back to movie 3, when she began to do animation directing regularly, eventually until movie 14; she quit the movie production after movie 20. Yet ever since the compilation recap movies have been promoted from 2021 onwards, Yamanka became the main animator responsible for them[Note 3]: in 2021, she returned to the series as key animator for the new scenes of The Scarlet Alibi; and in 2023, she did character design and key animation for the new scenes of The Story of Ai Haibara ~Black Iron Mystery Train~.

Interestingly, she was involved in some of the anime episodes during the director Koujin Ochi era, and served as the animation supervisor, but she was not credited back then. This was only revealed later in the ending credits of the compilation movie The Scarlet Alibi.
