Appearance[]
In his Lightside Form, Junior is a small red, ghostly Yo-kai, with a swirly, wisp-like tuft on the left side of his head. On the right side he has a single cat ear, and his mouth and facial features are cat-like as well. He also possesses small and limp arms with small hands.
Unlike most Shadowside Yo-kai, he is the only one to possess more than one Shadowside form. One of these forms is called Burning Dragon, where he becomes a large red dragon with stylized scales on his wings, tail, neck, and chest. On his chest, lower body, and near the base of his wings are a bright orange in color. He also gains small bluish accents, mostly on his claws and small stripes on his lower body and chest. His head is akin to many RPG dragons, and possesses two forward-protruding brown horns.
His second Shadowside is called Blizzard Wolf, where he becomes a large, light-bluish wolf with blue claws, a jagged head that resembles ice crystals, and a bluish mane below a jade-colored collar with a small gem fitted in it. The end of his tail is blue in color.
He can also take on the form of a human boy named Redhead (Japanese: レッドヘッド Reddoheddo), where he is a boy with a fair complexion, brown hair, and a red hat that has the letter "J" on it representing his actual name. He is also seen wearing a red jacket with two white stripes on the sleeves and pants.
Being a part of Jibanyan, he inherited some of his features.
Personality[]
Personality wise, Junior acts like a young child and he would often speak with grammatical errors.
Abilities[]
He has the ability to shapeshift, turning into balloon-like replicas of things he perceives. If he is popped in this state, he is not harmed, merely reforming moments later, and because of his ability to shapeshift, he has no single, definite Shadowside Form.
In his human form, he can contort his neck and twist his head, as a way of scaring his victims.

In the anime[]
Junior first appears in SS003 under the moniker "Redhead the Plunder Demon", taking on the appearance of a young boy, and stealing rare cards from various other players of a game called "Lightning Speed Age".
When Summer and the other investigate, they quickly find out his true identity. Junior reveals to them that he was looking for the rare card "Blizzard Wolf", so he could turn into it and use that look to cheer up an old woman he knows. This woman runs a candy shop and had previously owned a white dog, which has passed away. Junior is worried she might die soon, so he wants to keep her company as her dog, at least.
When Junior transforms for her, she is happy, saying she likes white dogs, but then tells him that she likes "the round, little, red child", too. Junior, happy she likes him the way he is, turns back into his true form and cries, saying he'll keep her company.
After befriending Summer and the others, Junior is often seen hanging out at their base with them.
