| Ranma: Characters |
Ranma Saotome
Age: 16
Bios:Engaged to Akane (due to a agreement between
Genma and Soün, for Ranma to marry a Tendö), to Ukyö
(due to Genma being greedy) at age of 5, sort of
engaged to Shampoo (due to a tribal custom) and is
also pursued by Tatewaki Kunö in female form, and
Kodachi in male form. His worst enemies are himself,
Ryöga and Mousse and just about everyone else to some
degree.
He is the main character of the story, personally, he
has no hope. He is extremely well verse in all
different forms of martial arts, taught to him by his
father as well as other people he met.

Genma Saotome
Age: between 35-40?
Bios:Gamma told his wife that he would raised his son
as men among men and set off with Ranma at a young age
to train him in the world as martial arts. He is often
in his panda form being a lazy bum and eating. He
can't talk in his panda form but often uses signs when
he wants to talk.
He often tries to teach Ranma the ways of the world
and tries to get him close to Akane, but a lot of
times his own self-fish acts and rude manners gets him
in trouble...you will see where Ranma gets his
personality from.

Soun Tendo
Age: between 35-40?
Bios:The owner of the Tendö döjö, and the emotional
father of Kasumi, Nabiki and Akane. He is a long time
friend of Genma, and had agreed to arrange a marriage
between Ranma and one of his daughters.
Tendo acts a lot like Genma at times, but he is a lot
more responsible when matters are at hand. He wants
Ranma and Akane to be married so that he may pass on
his döjö.

Akane Tendo
Age: 16
Bios:The youngest Tendö daughter, and the only one who
is training in martial arts. Is particularly admired
and loved by the boys of her school, who used to
attack her every morning until shortly after Ranma
arrived, and beat Kunö. She is pretty, and can be
cute, but often doesn't act like a normal girl would
and is quite a tom-boy. ( Just like me!)*
Her relationship with Ranma is thin at best. There has
been many times where she shows feelings for Ranma,
but often regrets them later for some stupid thing
Ranma dose later.

Nabiki Tendo
Age: 17
Bios:In the year above Akane in school, she is also
pretty much removed from the problems that trouble
most of the characters, and also takes a fairly
relaxed attitude, but she enjoys making money, and
isn't too choosy how she does it which makes her
pretty greedy at times.
She is the most level headed person in the whole
anime! Even though she loves to con people, she would
never "hurt" someone on purpose, she is always upset
of how Ranma reacts over Akane.
|
Kasumi Tendo
Age:19
Bios: The oldest of the Tendo daughters, she takes
care of the everyday household chores likes cooking
and cleaning, and is a quiet and peaceful young girl.
Which is why I refer to her as the "mother figure" of
the anime, since Soun's wife passed away.
She is every mans's dream girl, she is beautiful and
loving and never gets upset at all...I don't think I
have ever seen her mad....if you have..you get a gold
star.

Shampoo
Age:I'm guessing 16 too
Bios: After female-Ranma beat her, she followed Ranma
back to Japan for revenge to kill her because she gave
her the kiss of death after Ranma ate her reward
dinner during a tournament. Then when male-Ranma beat
her and she now has to marry him by the laws of her
village
Shampoo is Chinese which would explain her high-pitch
sweet voice. She is a very skillful martial artist and
she loves Ranma with all her heart. She and her
grandmother owns a Chinese restruant. She also has a
cat transformation form,which is bad for Ranma, he has
a fear of cats. One of the many girls who worship
Ranma...personally a better choice to pick to marry in
my opinion, she is so cute!!!
|
Tatewaki Kuno
Age: 17
Bios: Kunö's world was turned upside-down, when Ranma
arrived, kicked him off his no.1 spot and was engaged
to Akane. A haughty young man, who was feared, but now
is more of a joke, his main (and only significant
except for his crazy sister) enemy is Ranma, who gets
in his way to Akane and "Osage no Onna's" love.
Let's face it....Kuno is a dumb-ass...he is so stupid,
he can't even figure out that girl-type Ranma is
Ranma! Even when he changed right in front of him! He
is a kendo sword master and always carries his sword
with him. No matter how many time Kuno can't beat
Ranma. He is often cooning his love between Akane and
girl-type Ranma.

Ryoga Hibiki
Age: 16
Bios: Ryoga was once and probably still is the former
rival of Ranma since they was in grade school. Years
ago, Ryoga changelled Ranma to a fight,but his total
lack of sense of direction, he never made it to the
fight which was behind the school. He blames Ranma for
him being in his P-chan pig transformation form.
Other then Kuno, he is the most mentally changelled
person. He has NO sense of direction. You tell him to
go to the store he will end up on the other side of
the country. Many believe his no sense of direction is
due to his genetics...his parents are just as bad!
