Kirin

Defeated: Toma, Copycat Ken

Defeated By: No one

Individual Stats

Martial Arts Style: Seven Lucky Gods Martial Arts.

Cursed Form: No curse.

Strengths: Kirin's biggest asset is the speed with which he can use his chopsticks. He was fast enough with them to catch every single one of Ranma's usual Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken punches. In fact, he can catch just about any punch or kick that comes his way with his 'iron defenses.' He also has the ability to use his chopsticks in conjunction with ki, leaving the attacker's arm or leg with lots of little burn marks after he blocks their attacks. As the master of a martial arts school, he must have a great deal of experience and discipline to give him an edge over more reckless enemies.

Weaknesses: Being the master of the Seven Lucky Gods school, he has a rather high opinion of his own martial arts abilities. When he encounters Ranma and co., he doesn't consider any of them a serious threat. He can be overconfident in his abilities, and also his 'iron defenses,' choosing just to wear his enemies down by reacting to their attacks instead of countering with some of his own. In addition to this, he does virtually all of his fighting with one hand. His other hand is occupied by the bowl of rice, and he pretty much stands still while fighting, so if his opponent is able to take advantage of this in any way, Kirin will have limited options.

Weapons: His most potent (and only) weapons are the pair of chopsticks he wields, as they are what gives him his iron defenses, and his ki based offense. They are long enough so that he can catch people's fists and such in them without any difficulty, and presumably strong so they can hold up to the rigors of battle. He also weilds a bowl of rice, but he doesn't use it for anything useful (maybe for a mid-battle snack).

Special Moves:

Kirin's most powerful move is the Kyakusho Yogekikyo, or the Thousand Pinching Chopsticks. Using this move, he can send out literally thousands of chopstick sized ki blasts at his enemies. The sheer volume of the ki blasts makes this attack virtually impossible to dodge. The victim of the attack will usually be forced back by the force of the blasts, and they will suffer numerous chopstick shaped burns.
