Main Entrance
Welcome to the main entrance. From here, you'll see the Tendo Dojo sign, "Tendo's School of Indiscriminate Grappling" / "Tendo's School of Anything Goes Martial Arts". You'll also see the sign for challengers who wishes to challenge the owner of the Dojo.
At the main entrance, you may also meet some of the Tendo's friends and family.
Nodoka Saotome, Ranma's mother. She occasionally visits the Tendo Dojo, in hopes of meeting Ranma and Genma after years of being seperated from them.
Name: Nodoka Saotome
Occupation: Mother of Ranma Saotome (Ever since Ranma was a little child, Nodoka has cared endlessly for Ranma. Extremely concerned over his well being. Can you blame her? She is after all his mother)
Personality: Kind, Caring, Understanding, Honorable (Nodoka's kindness and caring of others knows no bounds. She's second in that next to Kasumi. Nodoka is also an honorable person, she carries her katana around as a symbol of that honor)
Ability: Cooking, minor skill with the Katana (Nodoka's cooking is a culinary delight as said by Genma. Though she carries her katana around, she doesn't exactly know how to use it)
Likes: All her family and friends (Nodoka loves everyone around her. She's extremely good at encouraging people)
Dislikes: Broken promises (One thing which Nodoka does not take lightly is broken promises, which is the reason why she carries her katana around. So that when she meets Ranma and Genma, she'll determine whether Genma has fulfilled his promise to make Ranma a man amoung men)
Sometimes you'll see a man in glasses come to the Tendo Dojo, but it's very rare. Most people go to see him:
Name:
Dr.
Ono Tofu
Occupation: Chiropractist, Family doctor of the Tendos (Since the beginning of the series, Dr. Tofu has been the Tendo's family physician. Taking care of Akane was one of his frequent jobs when Akane was young)
Personality: Kind, Caring, Understanding, Crazy when Kasumi's around (Dr. Tofu is the most kind and tender man around. Almost a match for Kasumi. The only problem with him is that whenever he sees Kasumi, his glasses fog up, his smile turns to a quivering smile and he starts to act all crazy-like)
Ability: A strong martial artist, well knowledged in pressure points (Even though he doesn't look the part, Dr. Tofu is a skilled martial artist. He can sneak up on Ranma without his presence being known to him. His knowledge of pressure points makes him a formidable opponent, if he ever gets into a fight)
Likes: Everything, Betty, ESPECIALLY Kasumi (Dr. Tofu is such a kind man, that no one can make him an enemy or he can make any. He likes his skeleton companion, Betty. Everyone... EVERYONE knows about Dr. Tofu's feelings towards Kasumi. All but Kasumi, that is)
Dislikes: Nothing (Dr. Tofu has no dislikes or hates towards anyone)
You'll often find this cute fiancee coming up to the main entrance, carrying several boxes of fresh okonomiyaki for her fiancee:
Name:
Ukyou Kounji
Occupation: Okonomiyaki Chef, Ranma's 'cute' fiancee & Student at Furinkan High (Ukyou has dedicated her life to being an okonomiyaki chef. She owns a restaurant in the food district of Nerima called "Ucchans". Ukyou has always been considered the cute fiancee, since Akane is the uncute and Shampoo isn't considered one. Ukyou also goes to the same school as Ranma and Akane, dressed as a male student)
Personality: Kind, Loyal... a bit, extremely friendly (Ukyou has a personality that no one can dislike. She's kind and caring to those in need, extremely friendly to her friends, and she's loyal to Ranma, at least, when Ranma pays attention to her)
Ability: Cooking, Okonomiyaki martial arts (Ukyou considers herself a well trained chef. Her specialty is okonomiyaki. Ukyou trained herself by her family's school. She learned to do combat using the techniques of an okonomiyaki chef. The large spatula is her main weapon. She also carries mini-dagger-like spatulas for distance attack)
Likes: Ranma, Ryoga (Ranma is the only guy on her mind, she dedicated herself to him the day when Ranma said she was cute. Ryoga is just a poor lost boy who needs someone to help, and seeing that he'd rather fight Ranma than have him help, Ukyou took it upon herself to help him)
Dislikes: Ranma's other fiancees, Tsubasa (Ukyou hates anyone else trying to steal Ranma's heart. She'll fight anyone who challenges her for Ranma's heart. Tsubasa is an annoying so-call boyfriend of Ukyou's who dresses like a girl and many other inanimate objects. He's constantly pestering Ukyou to go out with him, but Ukyou hates him)
