Originally a music teacher, Jun joined the Toho Mobile Culture Corps during WWII. He ultimately became active as a character actor in Toho and Shintoho productions in the '50s and '60s. Noted for his menacing onscreen countenance, he was remembered for his mild-mannered and affable nature in private life.
