J (Japanese: J) is a Pokémon Hunter (ポケモンハンター) that happens to be the leader of a Pokémon Hunting Ring. She, with the help from her henchmen, steals trainers' Pokémon and sells the Pokémon requested by her clients for a profit. She first appeared in Mutiny in the Bounty. Her Japanese voice actress is 本田貴子 Takako Honda.

Using a special bracelet, she can turn Pokémon into stone before they can fight back and imprison them in jars.

In Mutiny in the Bounty, she first stole Melodi's Gardevoir. Thinking Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth would be worth a lot, she stole them, too. This forced Ash to work together with Jessie and James to get them back. Following a brief confrontation with J, they managed to sneak into J's airborne base and rescue their Pokémon and all others she had stolen, before returning them to their rightful trainers. Though several of her henchmen have been captured by Officer Jenny, J remains still at large.

In DP036, Officer Jenny guessed that Team Rocket were working for J in their latest scheme, though it was actually Team Galactic.

J will appear again in Hunter J Again! Protect Shieldon!
