   • name: Ranma Saotome;
   • Jusenkyo curse: male to female (spash of cold water: female, spash of hot water turns him back into a male);
   • appearance: black hair in a pigtail as a male, red hair as a female, blue eyes, tends to wear chinese style clothes;
   • occupation: heir to the Saotome Branch of Anything Goes Martial Arts;
   • relationships: Genma Saotome (father, complicated relationship), Nodoka Saotome (mother, cares about her, but is unsure how to be her son at times), Akane Tendo (fiancée);

   • Ranma was born on August 8, as the first and only child of Genma Saotome and Nodoka Saotome. Ranma was taken from his home by his father when approximately 2 years old to begin a 13-14-year training trip to perfect his skills in the martial arts.

   • Later, near the end of the trip, Genma took Ranma to a training ground in China named Jusenkyo that few people used due to the springs being cursed. Falling into them would transform a person into whatever first fell into it and drowned. Genma, was able to hit Ranma into Nyannichuan (Niángnìquán 娘溺泉), or the "Spring of 'Drowned' Girl". Thus he turns into a female version of his original form when splashed with cold water, which is only temporary reversible through contact with hot water.

   • He arrived home to Furinkan and met Akane Tendo, they were engaged to be married by an arrangement between Genma Saotome and Soun Tendo.

   • Brash, arrogant: Ranma can be quite full of himself, particularly when it comes to his martial arts skills, often boasting about his prowess;
   • Immature, tactless: He often speaks and acts without thinking, leading to awkward and sometimes insulting situations. He frequently insults people he cares about; Indecisive, stubborn, good-hearted, protective, lacks social skills, forgiving most of the time;
   • Prideful, determined: Ranma takes great pride in his abilities and will not back down from a challenge, especially when his pride is wounded. He also can't accept defeat, even if completely outmatched;
   • Carefree, friendly: Despite his flaws, Ranma is generally carefree and friendly to those around him under normal circumstances.
   • Shy in Romance: He struggles to express his feelings, especially romantic ones;
   • Resourceful, cunning: Ranma is adept at learning from his mistakes in fights and taking advantage of his opponents' weaknesses. He also uses trickery and disguises to avoid conflict or get what he wants, particularly in his female form; Still a guy at heart, Ranma, even in female form, will still mentally be a guy. When he is a female, his cutesy act is just that-- an act, he perfers to be treated like a man;

   • Ranma has a cat phobia. When it gets real bad, Ranma turns berserk (nekoken state) and acts as if he is a cat. He can only be calmed by Akane pets at that state while he lays on their lap.
   • He doesn't like seeing Akane cry, he will panic at the sight and be confused on how to cheer them up.

Genma is bald; relationships: Nodoka Saotome (wife, loyal but they have a complicated relationship), Ranma Saotome (Son, close but complicated), Akane Tendo (Ranma's fiancee, future daughter-in-law), Soun Tendo (best friend); Many years ago Soun, along with Genma Saotome, was taken as a student by the founder of Anything Goes Martial Arts, Happosai. However "training" largely consisted of the grandmaster gleefully abusing them as slaves or pack animals, chaining up, starving and taunting them by eating all their food, and sticking them with responsibility for his thefts and runaway restaurant bills. They eventually managed to temporarily get rid of their tormentor by getting him drunk and then sealing him within a cave, by means of explosives, a large boulder, and a shinto O-fuda seal. Genma meet and married a woman name Nodoka and had a child name Ranma Saotome, However the moment Ranma was born, Genma wanted to take Ranma around the world and train him to be a great martial artist, but Nodoka didn't want to lose her baby. Genma then made the foolish mistake and making a deal with Nodoka, which state that if he doesn't make Ranma a man among men, then he and Ranma would have to perform senpukku with Nodoka wielding a blade.

   During his trip to China to train Ranma, both were cursed while fighting at the Jusenkyo springs. Genma didn't see the warnings since he couldn't read a lick of Chinese. Genma fallen in the spring of drowning panda and Ranma fell in the spring of drowning girl;

   Because of his promise to his wife, Genma and Ranma are terrified of showing their true forms to Nodoka and for her to find out about their curses, although Genma is more afraid than Ranma. To prevent her from finding out, they hide in their cursed forms, with Ranma taking the alias of "Ranko" and pretending to be Akane's cousin from the countryside, and Genma assuming the identity of "Mr. Panda" and pretending to be Ranko's pet.

   Although she then saw Ranko, the name "Ranma" from Mr. Panda's sign was on Ranko's forehead, leading Nodoka to start to suspect that they were the same person. However, she decides she won't force them to commit seppuku so long as Ranma stays interested in girls and continues to fight like a "man amongst men." After this, Genma and Ranma live for some time in her house, until it is destroyed by Shampoo, Ukyo Kuonji and Kodachi Kuno. She and her family then move back in with the Tendos.

A common means for Genma to avoid answering embarrassing questions or temporarily dodge responsibility is to turn into his cursed form and play with a ball; He is more comfortable with his cursed form; Genma is shown to be ashamed of Ranma's female form; he plays Shogi a lot with Soun in his free time;

   Before departing on their training journey, the only way Nodoka agreed to let Genma take Ranma from her was to promise that he would train Ranma to be "a man among men." If Genma were to fail in this regard, both he and Ranma would commit seppuku. Nodoka agreed to this and also that she would be the kaishakunin for her husband and son, hence the need to always carry the katana. She is then supposed to join them in death after their own lives are taken. Because of this promise, Genma and Ranma are terrified of showing their true forms to Nodoka and for her to find out about their curses, although Genma is more afraid than Ranma. To prevent her from finding out, they hide in their cursed forms, with Ranma taking the alias of "Ranko" and pretending to be Akane's cousin from the countryside, and Genma assuming the identity of "Mr. Panda" and pretending to be Ranko's pet.

   Although she then saw Ranko, the name "Ranma" from Mr. Panda's sign was on Ranko's forehead, leading Nodoka to start to suspect that they were the same person.

   Traditional, Honorable, Loving, Caring, Strong, Independent, Polite, Hospitable, Old Fashioned;

   Focused on Ranma's "Manliness": A central aspect of her personality is her emphasis on Ranma fulfilling the image of a strong, manly man. This sometimes manifests in comical ways, as she encourages conventionally "unmanly" actions like peeping, seeing it as proof of his manliness.

   Surprisingly Accepting (of the curse): When she eventually learns about Ranma's curse, she is more understanding than anticipated, accepting his female form as long as he maintains his interest in girls and acts like a "man among men".
