Background/History: the live play, tv tropes. There's no specific page on Junko's involvement in Dangan Ronpa, and it's a bit ridiculous to ask to read the LP, so I'll be providing a summary! While Junko plays a very big role in all the installments of Dangan Ronpa, her primary and most notorious one is in the original game itself.
Living her life in Despair, Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba were close as any pair of sisters could be, and it showed through the way they rightfully stood by each other and dealt with each other as time went on. Instead of falling into the despair, they embraced it, and soon Junko's mind became rather clouded and twisted with different ideas from the normal girl putting on her makeup. Realizing the cruelty and reality of the world at a young age, there's no doubt in her mind that there's just something about it that tickles her fancy. They conspired, and eventually formed Super High School Level Despair. Which is an organization that's often feared for much more than its name, it's clear what their motives are, and it's Despair.
While the details aren't exactly stated, it's the people in SHSL Despair that make with the Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Incident in the History of Mankind possible, ultimately being the Despairification of Mankind-- a plan concocted by the Despair Sisters. This incident is what drives the students and specifically, Junko's classmates, into hiding at Hope's Peak Academy until it all blew over and everything settled. They sealed themselves inside, agreeing to remain as humanity's last hope for as long as they live and to never leave. These fifteen students were unlucky enough to be locked in with Junko and her sister, more than likely because they were the ones being subjected to the game of murder. The instigator behind everything, disguised as "Monobear", Junko rallied the students to kill one another with crucial and distinct motives with the promise of leaving.
But there was more than just that, as with each murderer has to bear, they proceed with a trial to determine who the killer is once a body is discovered. Once the murderer is found, they are executed in front of their friends with a method customized only for them.
Though, if they were all friends how could they so easily switch on each other? The answer is simple, as Junko had given them some form of memory loss in order to forget their friendships they made before it all, making them complete and utter strangers. And because they were all now "strangers", it was easy for Mukuro to disguise as her sister and become "Super High School Level Fashion Girl". Not long had passed before "Junko Enoshima" had assaulted Monobear after the first murder. Because of that, she had been pierced with several spears, killing her as an example for the rest of the students. From then on, Junko manipulated and coaxed the rest of the students to further participate in this game, murdering their companions and suffering the worst kind of despair through the lies and mistrust they placed upon themselves. She had to push them, first to recruit those who believed in the cause, and second to draw in those who opposed her to gun them down at the gates of the school.
Eventually, the murdering ceases, and the ever watchful eye of Enoshima doesn't like the pause in what they're doing. She eventually takes matters into her own hands, putting some sense into those bastards by crushing their little laptop to merciless bits. Since it's hard to keep secrets in a place ridden with security cameras! At some point she took it upon herself to personally knock Naegi utterly unconscious as he was snooping in the bathroom, disguised perfectly, and even assaulting him when he was bedridden. It was his luck that saved him, and because of that luck the desecration of Mukuro's body came into play. From what seems to be no real respect for the dead, Junko, for the final case of the Mastermind and the murderer of Junko Enoshima (later to be agreed upon as Mukuro Ikusaba), used her sister's body as the key ingredient for everything. It was a minefield, and it brought the real Junko out of hiding when she was caught in the middle of the trial following the discovery of the corpse.
During the trial she acknowledged defeat but found no comfort in leaving the secrets they couldn't figure out unsolved, and guided them along the way before she provided an ultimatum: Execute Naegi, or risk the air purification to shut off and be forced to leave by picking Junko? With their hope renewed by Naegi's proclamations, they all mutually agreed upon Junko's death and she merrily dove into her own execution, ending the game of murder with her suicide.
