	Ranma ½ characters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ranma Saotome is the son of Genma and Nodoka Saotome and, obviously, the main character in the series (hence the name, Ranma 1/2).
		Ranma's foe, and the only recurring character who can come close to Ranma in a fair fight (besides Cologne and Happosai); he is incredibly strong and tough (arguably the strongest in the entire series), and swings around an amazingly heavy bamboo umbrella as if it weighs nothing.
		Cologne calls Ranma "future son-in-law", and though she tries to trick and scheme to get Ranma to marry Shampoo at first (as well as at a couple of opportunities that fall into her lap), most of the time she is there as an aside, seeming to find joy in just watching the madness.

		Ranma veterans will notice that some of the focus is shifting from the various individuals and their cursed afflictions to the evolving relationships between the characters, notably Ranma and Akane, and Shampoo and Mousse.

	Ranma 1/2 OAV Series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Ranma is a red-haired girl, and her accompany is not her father but a panda.
		Meanwhile, the theme of Ranma _ vaguely allows to crosscut the borderline of the concept "innocence" and "eroticism." Because Ranma is a half-girl, he gets away from many incidents that normally boys are prohibited, such as to touch women's breasts in public, and to wrestle with glamorous women.
		Ranma always refers Akane as an uncute tomboy; however ironically, he himself is just as Akane, who does not fit into the male gender expectation himself because of his dual gender identification.

	Taleswapper's Essay on "Annoying New Characters" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Self-based characters, unless done very well, are boring at best and at worst, little more than childish "play pretend" games, indicative of unsophisticated fantasies about stepping into the TV to live, fight, and play with Ranma and Co. Yet these flaws in characterization, though glaring, are not at the heart of my problem with ANCs.
		Indeed, characters that are especially created by a fanfic author for a specific story can enhance the work by providing new perspectives and otherwise surmounting the limits of the original Ranma 1/2 cast.
		And so, new characters may reflect the thoughts of the author, may address issues the author wants raised, or may play important roles that the author thinks cannot be performed by any of the original anime/manga characters.

	"Ranma ½" (1989) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Trivia: Rumiko Takahashi was originally going to have the characters "change" whenever they were hit or punched, but changed it to hot/cold water when she realized the characters would change every few seconds during a fight scene.
		I've been a big fan of Megumi Hayashibara (Girl-type Ranma, Tenchi's mother, Lina Inverse, Rei Ayanami, Momiji from Blue Seed, etc.) and I was not disappointed with her voice acting (I can't wait to hear her do the "Ranma's Declaration of Womanhood" episode).
		Still, I did find myself missing some of the Americanized jokes, especially in the episode where Akane loses her memories of Ranma and lists off a bunch of things that he must be ("That 1986 remake of King Lear directed by Akira Kurosawa" "That's Ran!" "That song by the Beach Boys!" "That's 'Help Me Ronda'").
