Ukyo Kounji (top) is an old friend of mine. I was
real young at the time, and didn't know she was a girl. I
found out much later at Furinken High School that Pop had
made her my fiance, when she tried to kill me in a duel after
school. I was quite suprised when I found out that she was just cross-dressed the entire time!
Akane Tendou (holding P-Chan.) is my fiance also
She's an uncute tomboy with a hair-trigger temper and her cooking is lethal.
If you don't believe me, check out
Akane's Kitchen. Our parents arranged the whole
fiance thing. They want someone
to carry on the anything-goes dojo between them, and Akane's
sisters Nabiki and Kasumi voted that Akane should be the one
to marry me, because she hated boys anyway.
Shampoo (in the bikini) isn't really my fiance at all, but try telling that
to her grandmother! (She calls me son-in-law.) First she
tries to kill me after giving me the Amazon "kiss of death" after
Pop and I ate her food, and now she insists on marrying me because
I beat her in a fight. Those Amazons have strange laws!
P-Chan (being held by Akane) and I go way back. His name
is actually Ryouga Hibiki. Akane thinks he is her pet pig.
He and I went to the same school together, and when he challenged
me to a duel, I showed up at his house after school, and he got
lost trying to find the lot behind his house for four days. He
followed me and Pop to China and fell in a cursed spring. He has
the worst sense of direction in the world, and gets lost all the time.
And of course, that's me, Ranma Saotome, in the center.
