Ukyo Kuonji's starting role began much later in the Ranma 1/2 series. In episode 24 of the 2nd series (Hard Battle Episode 1) Ukyo Kuonji is introduced as another male enemy to Ranma but is later revealed to be yet another fiancee. Although she spent her recent years dressed like a male, Ranma refers to her as his "cute" fiancee and yeah she is ^_^. Being an old childhood friend and expert okonomiyaki cook, she falls for Ranma and will often times try to break him and Akane up.
Ukyo Kuonji is 16 years old but knew Ranma back when they both were only 6. Back then they'd play games with each other but Ranma would always seem to win. Whenever he did, Ukyo's father would give him an okonomiyaki (japanese pancake). They owned an okonomiyaki cart and it was the family business. Ranma and Ukyo got along well so Ukyo's father discussed with Genma plans on getting Ukyo engaged to Ranma. Genma; however, wanted to set Ranma up with one of the Tendo girls but changed his mind when Ukyo's father threw in his okonomiyaki cart as dowry. Even though Genma was setting Ranma up to marry Ukyo, the final decision had to be made by him. He asked Ranma which he liked more, okonomiyaki or Ukyo. Being only 6 and not even knowing Ukyo was a girl at the time, Ranma chose okonomiyaki. Genma then took off with the cart and Ranma but left Ukyo behind crying by the road.
Since then Ukyo vowed to become the best okonomiyaki chef in all of Japan and she pretty much succeeded in carrying on the family business. She also took up acting and dressing like a guy from then on while practicing her martial arts so that she'll be able to get revenge on Genma and Ranma for what they had done to her. She eventually caught up to them and enrolled in Furinkan High School as a student. After beating up Genma, Ukyo challenged Ranma to a duel on a huge cooking grill. In the end, Ranma finally realizes that Ukyo is actually a girl and that she happened to be another fiancee of his. Although the fighting doesn't stop there, it ends when Ranma refers to Ukyo as "cute" (much to the disappointment of Akane). Ukyo starts liking Ranma and goes back to being his fiancee after seeing how much Ranma and Akane fight. They become friends again and go back to calling each other Ranchan and Ucchan like they did when they were kids.
