Junpei Hayami is a supporting character in the Cutie Honey franchise. He is the younger brother of Seiji Hayami and son of Danbei Hayami, a friend and ally of Honey Kisaragi and Wataru Todoroki.
Appearance[]
In his first appearance, he is a thin, pre-teen boy, still resembling a child. His hair is short and black, and his eyes are dark. He is sometimes depicted in anime adaptations with brown hair and eyes. He often wears collared shirts, long pants, and casual shoes.
In the manga "Cutie Honey 90s," he is an adult in his forties, who has gained weight. He has thick eyebrows and combs his hair back.
Personality[]
From the beginning, he is seen as a carefree boy, even with the situations that arise, however, he appears somewhat sad when he doesn't know what happened to his family during the incident at the hospital. He is also shown to be quite lustful for his age, coming across as a pervert, always bothering Honey and focusing on her as if she were his only personal interest.
In the Cutie Honey 90s manga, he is already an adult and appears more focused. He believes he is too old to help Honey fight the Panther Claw directly, however, he acts as a backup to defend her.
He calls his brother Seiji "aniki" (兄貴), which in Japanese means "older brother." It is a word that can also be used as a term of endearment or respect for a man, similar to "bro" in English.
Junpei tends to call Honey "Oneesama" (お姉さま), which is a Japanese term meaning "respected older sister", a term used in admiration towards an older sister or any younger female. He also uses the term "Nee-chan" (ねーちゃん) to refer to Natsuko, a term which in Japanese means "older sister". Unlike "Oneesama", this is a more informal and affectionate way of referring to an older sister.
First Manga[]
In the manga, Junpei and Danbei visit his brother Seiji, who is in the hospital with various injuries and fractures. He stays reading a magazine until the Panther Claw gangsters show up to take his brother away. When Honey returns to the hospital ward carrying Seiji, Junpei is completely smitten with her.
Later, he and his father go for a walk early one morning when they come across a statue that resembles Honey. Since they're both very perverted, they decide to approach the statue and lick it. It turns out to be Honey in disguise, and she gets angry with them. After Panther Claw shuts down Honey's school, she moves in with the Hayamis. Junpei and Danbei take advantage of this situation to spy on Honey while she's bathing and frequently bother her, but she ends up beating them up for it.
When Seiji discovers that the Panther Claw wants to steal a golden Buddha statue, Junpei helps Honey and her family form a plan to trick the Panther Claw by putting on a headband and distracting the police officers guarding the museum.

Cutie Honey 2023[]
If Seiji turns then Junpei has to b0ne a chick to make Seiko.
When Seiji watches the news on a cr-ppy flatscreen tv instead of a REAL one that don't need the internet to update. It sez of the robbery last chapter but the art was in a fireproof safe. Seiji sez it was Honey and Danbei thinks its Seiji's gf but he sez no and Danbei thinks its a man and his son got turned like the degrassi guys. Danbei is bummed after a bunch of wives his son has sunk so low but in a suspect way, Seiji sez its complicated i Honey is a man or a woman, like he's on blue sky and can't tell. Junpei comes in saying Honey is here for Seiji and Danbei is amazed how hot she is and wants her. Seiji don't wanna call Honey mom like with Missy in Bill And Ted and sez to watch out for him as tries to marry any woman he likes. Text sez he was Daemon Abashiri with Naojiro, Goemon, Kikunosuke and Kichiza with the Hayami's being his 5th weeding. They live in the Hayami Detective Agency like with Seiko Hayami and Junpei sez he's the assistant to his cr-ppy bro but Seiji disagrees and sez Junpei's a purvo like dad. Honey asks of Panther Claw and Seiji sez this realms rules don't apply to em as they appear/vanish like nothing and he thinks they might be demons or witches. Honey wants to Ambush em and Seiji sez they like jewels and babes so Honey decides to be the bait and not the Master Class. Seiji don't want Honey to be bait cuz Panther Claw turns babes into beasts like Black Claw so if she's turned its bad news. Danbei shows a sexy woman statue exhibit Panther Claw might target. After some cr-p with Junpei at home or w/e Danbei/Seiji see there's no news of the mansion blowing on tv/paper/net but they saw it burn. After going back they found a residential area and Danbei sez its like a Sci Fi Manga. Seiji sez it was a subspace of twisted space or other dimension and Danbei goes to the Abashiri Family for breakfast with Kikunosuke, Goemon, Naojiro and Kichiza. The Panthers see Seiji's alone and go in as he wonders what will happen in da manga with Kichiza I mean Junpei/Honey at school. He's glad it'll be Cutey Honey again and they beat him up/bust his place for not taking em srs. And thats the last we hear of him. I guess e's chasing babes at school or something
