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.

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.
