The Saotomes

Ranma

Ranma is in love with Akane, even if they did start out on the wrong foot.  I don't even
think he calls her bad names (my favorite: macho chick, dumb as a brick, thighs are too
thick, can't even kick. hahahaha)  because he thinks they're true.  Akane's just really mean
to him because she's one of those girls that shows her affection that way, and so he feels
like he needs to be mean back.  Of course it comes across as them hating each other but
we all know what they really think. ^_^ :::wink wink::: 
  As for those in love with Ranma......there's a ton:
  First of all, Kuno is in love with the "pigtailed girl" (maybe because the first time he saw
her she wasn't wearing any pants) who is ranma-chan.  Kuno is just too dense to get that
Ranma and Ranma-chan are the same people.  It's ok Kuno, we still love you.  :)  Anyway,
Kuno loves both Ranma-chan and Akane which some think is wrong, including Nabiki.
Kuno once payed to get candid photos of all of them.
  Secondly, Mikado, who met Ranma-chan for the first time at a skating rink.  He gave
Ranma his first kiss!!!  And so, of course, Ranma hates him and calls Mikado the worlds
biggest pervert, but Mikado's little crush works to Ranma's advantage when he is matched
against him in a martial skating contest.  Mikado won't let anything harm him even if it
does mean getting beat up by "widdle Azusa".
  Next comes Happosai.  Although Happosai isn't in love with Ranma-chan, he does find
her quite attractive.  Then again, he found Cologne attractive at one point....  Anyway, I
think he should be added to Ranma-chan's list of admirers.
  Now, for male ranma:
  Akane, of course is engaged to him, and we assume that she loves him back.  But as
we've discussed already, she doesn't show affection very well.
  Next is Shampoo.  When Ranma first met her, Ranma was in girl form and defeated her
in battle, making Shampoo want to kill her.  However, Ranma as a male also defeated her
which made Shampoo obligated to marry him.  Shampoo doesn't seem to sad about this
and falls full fledged in love with the guy. 
  Kodachi Kuno, yes, that's right, Kuno's sister, is also in love with Ranma, (brother and
sister in love with the same person?  only in ranma world!)  and blames it on her lonely life
at an all girls school.  She is even more agressive than shampoo and often tries to sabatoge
Ranma with paralysis gas and other trics.
  Finally is Ukyo(and I have a feeling I misspelled that at ninjatom is gonna kill me), the
"cute fiance".  Ranma's childhood friend, Ukyo reenters his life as a male but later exposes
that she is a women.  She is one of the few main characters that is not cursed, but she
DOES make Ranma's life increasingly more complicated.  Ranma acts as if he likes her the
best, and she might just be his closest thing to a friend, besides maybe Ryoga.  Anyway,
Ranma's father engaged the two when they were very young, then ran off with her
Okonomiyaki cart, leaving her with no husband and no job. 
  As for me, Ranma seems alright.  He's really cute, but I would hate his macho attitude if
were one of the "chicks" he refers to.  He's kinda self centered too, he kinda wants to keep
a good relationship with all of his girls so that they will all still like him.  I would think his
life would be a whole lot easier if he would just tell Shampoo to bug off or something, but
who knows.  It could be that he's just a confused little boy whose had his father making
decisions for him all his life.  Lets just think of him like that. :)
And because I'm sentimental....Ninja Tom's old bio:                                                                                    Ranma is obviously the protagonist of this story, the title being Ranma 1/2 (DUH!!).
Anywho Ranma has a cursed body, everytime he is splashed with cold water he truns into
a girl. A very very good looking girl who happens to atract men. Being Kuno Hoppusai
and others that I can't think of. Not to mention he miracuosly has several fiancess, and
adoring fans. However many people love him many people would kill him if at all possible,
one being the ever lost child, the innocent, the gullable, the loving, the little black pig
named P-chan RYOGA!!
Ranma procured this "curse" when he was on a traing trip with his father Genma
Soutome, to become a man among men. This was from a pact with Ranma mom Nokoda,
if Ranma doesn't become a man among men he and his idiot father have to commit
seppuku or rituall suicde. Anywho when Ranma and his pop are off in China they go to
the cursed springs of Jenskkyo. Here is where his father who truns into a panda and
Ranma who truns into a girl got their curses. Each spring at Jenskyo have their own tragic
story where somthing so somthings drowned in one of the springs. The spring Ranma fell
into was that of a drowned girl. (she should've learned to swim, but then we wouldn't have
a story would we?) Anywho Ranma from this turns into a girl upon being splashed with
cold water and becomes a guy again when he is splashed with warm water.
Ranma and his enorage. As a girl Ranma is obviously very kawaii or really cute, just look
at those pics above! Anywho As a girl he has one main admirer Takanwane Kuno, he's a
real buffoon. Infact Ranma wrote that on his forehead once. Kuno is dearly in love with
Ranma or as he calls her the Pigtaled-girl and Akan Tendo, who knows why, he's in love
with Akane. Kuno loves I guess women who could kick his ass, kinda explaing why he has
to have Akane defeat him so he would let her go out with him. Anywho he loves Akane
and Ranma and thats that. Next admire is the panty stealing pervert Hoppusai!! Hoppusai
isn't romantically in love with Ranma but pervertedly in love. Comm-on its obvious a guy
who steals panties would oviousy adore Ran-chan's female body, nuff-said. Now for his
guy form lovegirls. Ummmmnnnnn... yeah. Akane is on the top of the list. Behind the
tomboy visage and mallets, Akane does truely love Ranma and he truley loves her, why
they love each other is a mystery to me, they always argue, that is superfical though, but I
mean they barely know each other, afterall it was a prearranged marrage. However, I think
they might actually love each other because she does look past the girl thing, and actually
cares for him. Next adoring Ranma fan is Ukyo, the only one who probably could actually
have a reason to love Ranma, they were childhood friends, big deal Ranma thought she
was a guy they were still friends. Ranma's dad had Ranma choose who he loved more
Akane or Ukyou, but phrasing it this way do you love okinami or Akane, and Ranma
answed Okinmai, so he engaged Ranma to Ukyo for the okanmi kart. But Ukyo also does
truely love him because no matter what gender he is she still loves him. its really sweet.
But then again she finds his curse a novelty because she likes turning him into a girl then
back to a guy. Next is Shampoo. I think she has no right to be with Ranma since she only
loves him because he defeated her in combat, big deal she's loyal I don't think thats any
reason for her to get Ranma, but he does care for her to some extent. Finally Kodachi, she
only loves him cuz she thougt he was qute, poops on her.
Finaly the juicy stuff those who would kill our 1/2 in 1/2. Ryoga first and foremost. I think
that Ryoga would gladly kill Ranma after all he wouldn't turn into a pig if it wern't for him.
But Ryoga does consider Ranma his only rival. Still Ryoga hates Ranma, mainly at every
twist in his life Ranma wronged him in some way. Their first duel Ranma didn't show up,
mainly cuz Ryoga was 4 days late and Ranma had to go for his traing trip. Secondly
Ryoga would kill him to get Akane. He dearly loves Akane, because she is so kind to him.
Third murdering manac, every single guy main character. For some reson Ranma has this
knack for pissing people off, cursing them, stealing their true love, abusing his curse,
stealing food, etc. Kuno for example would kill Ranma to get Akane, when he found out
Ranma was Akane's fiancee, boy was he pissed! Princible Kuno cuz Ranma juat screws
everything up for him, Kodachi Kuno hates his girl form, I'm not shure why she's just
phsko.

Genma

Childlike in many ways, this man would be very agrivating if he wasn�t so darn funny.
He�s generally a wipm who splashes himself with water and turns himself into a panda to
get out of uncomfortable situations.  HE�s really quite meek and will apologize his way
out of anything, especailly around Happosai.
  Another maddening characteristic of his is the fact that he will sell his son for free food
(Hence, Ranma�s many fiances).  He is easily talked into doing things and mooches off of
people as an occupation (ie the Tendos).
  But you know what?  When he�s a panda he is the funniest, most random character in the
entire plot.  Like when he holds up signs that say �I�m just a cute little panda� or how he
gets a job at Dr. Tofu�s office.
  He doesn�t seem like such a bad guy, or panda, after all, but it might not be fun to be
Ranma in this case.
