CHARACTERS
Ranma Saotome
The second-generation heir to the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. During training in China, he accidentally fell into the Jusenkyo’s “Spring of Drowned Girl,” leaving him with a unique curse: whenever splashed with cold water, he transforms into a woman, reverting only with hot water. Bound by an arrangement made by their parents, he is engaged to Akane Tendo. Ranma currently lives at the Tendo household with his father, Genma.
Portrayed by Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara
Akane Tendo
The youngest daughter of the Tendo family and the second-generation heir to the Tendo Dojo. A first-year student at Furinkan High School, she is known for her exceptional physical strength and formidable martial arts skills. Though often at odds with her fiancé, Ranma, she sometimes reveals a softer, more compassionate side beneath her fiery personality.
Portrayed by Noriko Hidaka
Ryoga Hibiki
Ranma’s former classmate and long-time rival from his days at an all-boys school. Despite his formidable strength and determination, Ryoga suffers from an extreme lack of direction, often getting hopelessly lost on his way to even the simplest destinations. While pursuing Ranma to China, he fell into Jusenkyo’s “Spring of Drowned Black Piglet,” leaving him with a peculiar curse: whenever splashed with cold water, he transforms into a small black piglet, only returning to human form with hot water.
Portrayed by Koichi Yamadera
Shampoo
A young girl from the Chinese Amazon tribe, she is skilled enough to win the village martial arts tournament. After a fateful encounter with Ranma, she follows him to Japan—though her true intentions remain shrouded in mystery.
