A teacher at Furinkan high who was taught at an early age by Happosai on how to absorb "battle auras", thus making her the perfect disciplinary teacher. She looks girlish at first glance, but after absorbing battle aura, she becomes a voluptuous young woman. Personality changes are apparent between her two "forms".
The Prince of the floating island of Togenkyo, Toma once tried to kidnap Akane and the other female members of the cast to see who would become his bride. Fortunately, Ranma and company were able to rescue the women and show Toma the error of his ways.
Another Prince who kidnapped Akane, thinking that he was destined to become her bride. Kirin is the leader of the School of Seven Lucky Gods Martial Arts, and was never defeated until Ranma came along to rescue Akane. Also speaks in the royal "we" third person.
Kurumi and her sister Natsume once claimed to be Soun Tendo and therefore, the true hers to the Tendo Anything-Goes Martial Arts school. It was later found out that they were supposedly the illegitimate daughters of Happosai, who cared for them and taught them the Anything-Goes style of Martial Arts.
Natsume is Kurumi's older sister. She is the one who motivated herself and her sister to train after Happosai left them. Wandering around as orphans, they found the Tendo dojo and held it for a time, until Akane and Ranma, together, defeated them.
One of Ranma's friends, who is always hanging around Ranma and his other friend Daisuke.
The Principal of Furinkan high, who's traveled to Hawaii frequently and dresses as such. Once tried to force a Hawaiian dress code on the students. The Principal is supposedly Kuno and Kodachi's father.
The Chinese guide that Ranma and others have employed to help find Jusenkyo. Knows the name of every spring and can tell you each of the springs' "tragic stories". Is also concerned about the number of people coming to Jusenkyo as of late. Incidentally is also the "Ranma 1/2 Library"'s head librarian..*g*
Kinnii is a killer swordsman from the secret Jusenkyo Preservation Society who was sent to capture those with Jusenkyo curses that were abusing their abilities. Kinnii has one weakness...he too, is Jusenkyo-cursed. Kinii fell in Fuushaaniichuan, or the Spring of Drowned Priest. Now Kinnii turns into (and acts) like a priest when splashed with cold water. Other than that he is a very powerful warrior.
Chingensai is a Martial Arts master who supposedly trained Soun and Genma "Secret Ninja Tricks". It was later found, though, that he trained with Happosai, and was just as much a pervert as he is.
Kaori is the daughter of a rich man who supposedly made a debt of honor to Genma when Ranma was only an infant. It appears that once when Genma was starving for food, he traded the infant Ranma for rice, a fish, and two pickles to the rich man. Genma double-crossed him, though, and got Ranma back. The rich man had intended to marry Ranma to Kaori to assure the future of his Martial Arts school. Kaori found Ranma, and when she found out that Akane was engaged to him, challenged her to a "delivery martial arts race", of which she is the master. Fortunately, she lost, thanks to Ranma-chan's interference.
Mikado is one half of the "Golden Pair", a martial arts skating duo that has many wins under its belt. He is obsessed with kissing, and managed to kiss Ranma-chan once, much to Ranma's embarrassment. He and his partner, Azusa Shiratori, challenged Ranma and Akane to a match to see who "Charlotte", a.k.a. P-Chan/Ryoga, belonged to.
Azusa is one half of the "Golden Pair", a martial arts skating duo. She loves cute things, to the extent that when she sees something she thinks is cute, she names it and takes it home, even if it belongs to someone else. Azusa once named P-Chan (Ryoga) "Charlotte" and tried to take him, but Akane wouldn't let her. Azusa then challenged her and Ranma to a martial arts skating match to decide who owned "Charlotte". Unfortunately, the Golden Pair lost because Azusa slammed her partner Mikado Sanzenin over the head with a hammer.
Pantyhose (or Pansuto) Taro is a man with a terrible (and justified) grudge against Happosai. It seems that Pantyhose was born at the Jusenkyo training ground, and Happosai assisted in the birth. As per the tradition, the one who assisted got to wash the newborn and name it, so Happosai got the privilege. Unfortunately, Happosai washed the baby Taro in a cursed spring, where a yeti, bull, crane, and eel drowned, cursing Taro with a Jusenkyo curse. Not only did Happosai do this, he also named the baby "Pantyhose", an embarrassing name. Since the namer of a newborn is the only one who can change the name of the newborn, Pantyhose followed Happosai to Japan many years later to try and get him to change his name. Unlike most cursed victims of the Jusenkyo springs, Pantyhose has grown to like his other form.
The Dojo Destroyer is a very large man who travels Japan challenging dojos and taking their signs when he defeats them. These signs are also his mode of attack. The Dojo Destroyer once challenged the Tendo dojo, and only Ranma and Akane were barely able to defeat him.
Shinnosuke is a boy who saved AKane's life when she was young. Was dying and dependant on the "Water of Life" in the forest of Ryugenzawa, (in which he keeps the unusually large animals), until Akane was able to save his life. He is also quite forgetful.
Shinnosuke's grandfather helps Shinnosuke restrict animals to the forest of Ryugenzawa.
