Janine was the daughter of [[Koga]], the ninja Pokémon trainer. To follow in her father's footsteps, Janine studied ninjutsu and began training poison-type Pokémon. Her training eventually paid off, as when Koga was promoted to the Elite Four, Janine became the new gym leader of the Fuchsia City gym. To confuse incoming trainers, the other trainers in Janine's gym used illusions to look like Janine.

Eventually in ''Gold'', ''Silver'' and ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal]]'' (as well as the ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'' remakes), she was challenged and defeated by [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]]. She then gave them the Soulbadge as well as TM06: Toxic (or TM 84: Toxic Jab in ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver''). She vowed to improve her skills to become better than both the challenger and Koga. In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', she would later appear at the Pokémon League Reception Gate every day from 4 to 6, bringing lunch to the busy Koga, and Ethan/Lyra could exchange Pokégear numbers with her as well as take photographs with her there from 6 to 10. When Ethan/Lyra calls her on Mondays (between the hours of 10AM and 8PM), she will travel to Saffron's Fighting Dojo for a rematch. Additionally, she is seen at Saffron's department store on Mondays during the day, arguing with [[Falkner]] about which of their fathers was a better trainer.

Janine returned in ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions 2|Black and White 2]]'' as a competitor in the Pokémon World Tournament, taking part in the Kanto Leaders, World Leaders and Type Experts challenge. She continued to seek to improve herself so that she could surpass her father and her other challengers, and to consider herself to be a full-fledged trainer.

In ''Black 2''/''White 2'', Janine's roster can include Venomoth, Weezing, Crobat and [[Tentracruel]], as well as Ariados and [[Arbok]] (in the Gym Leaders Tournament) or [[Roserade]] and [[Nidoqueen]] (in the World Leaders and Type Experts Tournament).

Janine appeared in ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'' as the fifth opponent in the Kanto Gym Leader Castle. She uses [[Tentacruel]], Weezing, Ariados, Crobat, [[Gligar]] and [[Stantler]] in the R1 match, and then [[Muk]], [[Vaporeon]], [[Meganium]], Crobat, Girafarig and [[Forretress]] in the R2 battle.
 
  
In ''[[Pokémon Masters]]'', Janine and her Ariados appeared as a potentially playable sync pair that could be unlocked at random through the Sync Pair Scout feature. She was also featured as an opponent in Chapter 16 of the Main Story, in which she and Koga formed a team together for the [[Pokémon Masters League]] tournament. After they were defeated by [[Scottie/Bettie]]'s team, she tried to take the blame for the loss, because she felt that she held her father back. Koga clarified that he considered them to be equals, but this prompted her to set off on her own personal journey, so that she could train until she truly felt strong enough to be her father's equal. After she made a ninja-style disappearance, this left Koga to join the player's team. Janine also made an appearance during the Johto chapter of the Villain Arc, where she and her father showed up to hold off [[Petrel]] and his [[Team Rocket]] minions for [[Silver]]. She has also made small appearances in some of the game's Story Events.

*Janine appears in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where she succeeds her father as gym leader after his disappearance in the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc. However, she is shown to be uncertain of her purpose due to lacking a master and sought her father for guidance. She was first seen in a chapter battling [[Suicune]] and relating to it about needing a master. During the competition between the gym leaders of Kanto and Johto, she battled [[Falkner]], who similarly had issues with a missing father, but she forfeited the match when she abandoned the arena after seeing what she thought was Koga in the audience, but he was gone by the she reached the audience.

*Her English name, Janine, is made from switching the syllables of the word 'ninja'. Her Japanese name is Anzu, which is Japanese for 'apricot'.
+
*She also appears in ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]'', taking place when Koga was still leader of the gym. She is found behind the [[Chansey]] pen in Fuschia City.
*She also makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]'', taking place when Koga was still leader of the gym. She is found behind the [[Chansey]] pen in Fuchsia City. The ''[[Pokémon: Let's Go!|Let's Go!]]'' remakes lack any cameo of her, but Koga does mention having a daughter during rematches.
+
*In the American version of  ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'' she is instead called Charine for unknown reasons.
*In the English localization of  ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'', she was erroneously referred to as Charine.
+
*She is the only gym leader to have not made an anime appearance, although it is believed that the character is based off of Aya, Koga's younger sister and student in the anime continuity. Oddly enough Aya reappears in one of the Johto episodes where Janine could easily have been used instead.
