In the beginning, she had no idea Ranma was really a boy. Shampoo is a girl from the Chinese village girl-Ranma stumbled into after days of walking from Jusenkyo. Starving, Ranma began to eat food from a table labeled "first prize." That was his first mistake. Shampoo challenged the strange outsider, and lost after one hit. Her amazon law states that if you lose to a female outsider in a tournament, you must give the girl the "Kiss of Death," and kill without delay.

Ranma, fearing HER life, ran, and hid until one fateful day in Japan, when Shampoo discovered her in an ice cream shop with Akane. He managed to hide from her once more, but later that day when HE arrived home, Shampoo had discovered Genma-Panda. Noticing Akane, the same girl she saw at the Ice Cream parlor with Ranma, she attacked her with the Bonburi, or fighting lanterns. Ranma, angry at Shampoos' actions, kicked the lantern into two pieces, the top piece coming down on Shampoo's head. She awoke, and seeing her opponent victorious, she arose, walked slowly up to Ranma, and FRENCH KISSED HIM! As it turns out, the other half of her amazon law is that if a male outsider defeats her, then she must MARRY HIM! Poor Poor Ranma!

Mousse is madly in love with Shampoo, and if that moron wasn't blind, maybe he'd get her!

When Shampoo finally found out about Ranma curse, she had it backward! (she thought ranma was a GIRL who turned male with cold water) so she too trained at jusenkyo with Great Grandmother and fell into "spring of drown cat" realizing now Ranma was male, she returned to Japan, and resumed position as Bridal candidate #2!

Shampoo worked as a nurse for Dr. Tofu in the beginning of Ranma 1/2 QUESTIONS/COMMENTS Mail Me
