Saotome Ranma
The Aquatranssexual of Ranma-chan
Saotome Ranma is the title character. He's one of the best
martial artists out there, and can't refuse any sort of challenge involving
those two words (martial art, martial art gymnastics, martial art skating,
martial art cooking....) He'll usually win, too. He's been cursed with
the Spring of the Drowned Girl. Once in contact with cold water he becomes a girl and
in hot he returns to a boy. As a female, he is Ranma-chan. The male
form is Ranma-kun. He somehow ends up betrothed to various females
(Akane,
Shampoo
, Ukyou)
through no fault of his own, and is constantly pursued
by others, both female and male (there are those guys so clueless as to not
realize that Ranma-chan is the altered form of Ranma-kun).
