Ranma's cute fiancee.10 years ago, on a training journey in the country
with his father, Ranma stole okonomiyaki [a cross
between an omelet and a pancake] daily from
Ukyou's father's yatai (food cart), easily
overcoming U-chan's defense. However, it was a
friendly rivalry -- Ukyou drew pictures with
okonomiyaki sauce on them for Ranma.
Her father told Genma that Ukyou said she wants
to be Ranma's wife. Genma said Ranma already has
a fiancee. Ukyou's father said that's too bad,
he was thinking of giving them the yatai for a
dowry. And Genma said, "We'll take her!"In a quandary, Genma let Ranma make the decision
-- he asked Ranma which he liked better, okonomiyaki
or Ukyou. Never suspecting that Ukyou is a girl,
Ranma chose okonomiyaki. So Genma and Ranma ran
off with the yatai and left Ukyou behind.Shamed and ridiculed by her peers, Ukyou decided
she wouldn't like boys forever, dressed and lived
as one, and devoted herself to okonomiyaki
style martial arts.She shows up as a new student at Furinkan High and
challenges Ranma. After a heated battle, Ranma
discovers Ukyou's actual gender (and verifies it by
pouring hot water on her!). Meanwhile, Ukyou discovers
that Ranma does not get along with his "uncute"
fiancee. Ranma and Ukyou reconcile, and she becomes
enamored of him again.Though she still dreams of marrying Ranma, Ranma
still treats U-chan only as an old friend. Her plots to win
him over are less violent and more psychological than
Ranma's other suitors. For example, instead of trying
to kill her rival Akane, Ukyou arranges a date between
her and Ryoga.Running her okonomiyaki restaurant "U-chan" has
made her skillful at both domestic tasks and running a
business. Although she lives to cook okonomiyaki, she
would give it all up to marry Ranma.
