Junko Nishida works as a reporter for Weekly Mahjong Today, where she's built a reputation covering high school mahjong tournaments across the prefectural and national circuits. She's genuinely interested in talented players, especially Nodoka Haramura from Kiyosumi High School, whom she's convinced has genuine genius-level potential. That said, Junko isn't above spicing up her stories to grab readers' attention—sensationalism sells, after all.
She regularly travels with her photographer partner Daisuke Yamaguchi on assignments. In the anime, she's notably focused on the connection between Shiraitodai's Teru Miyanaga and Kiyosumi's Saki Miyanaga, tracking down Teru to ask pointed questions about their relationship.
