*The reason why this is he is undefeated
kendo champion others tried to defeat him but failled because Akane can
defeat Kuno in a regular fight but is no match for him when she uses a
sword this is proven in "Ranma and Juliet" when Akane was trying to defend
a druken Ranma from Kuno but he beats her hands down and it is also proven
he can defeat the entire kendo club by himself as we see in "Kuno the night
prowling knight" episode.
