TATEWAKI KUNO
TK
Captain of the Furinkan High kendo club. Pursues Akane and the red-haired girl form of Ranma simultaneously and with equal romantic conviction, unaware that both are connected to the male Ranma he despises. Speaks in archaic formal Japanese. Refers to himself as the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High. Completely and permanently convinced of his own heroic destiny in a way that no amount of evidence has ever touched. The show uses his total imperviousness to reality as a renewable comic resource across 161 episodes and it genuinely does not run dry.

Open page →The wealthy captain of the Furinkan Kendo team. Wields a bokken with sword-wave force capable of slicing wood structures. Obsessed with both "The Pigtailed Girl" (Female Ranma) and Akane Tendo, completely unable to process that they are the same person.
