• Name : Tatewaki Kuno (a.k.a. Kuno)
• Age : 17
• Loves : Akane Tendo and "Osaga no onna" or "the pig-tailed girl"
• Loved by : Nobody
• Weapon:   Bokan (wooden sword that looks likes a katana)

stats:  Kuno is the best fighter in Furinkan high.  When Ranma first showed up with Akane, after all the boys after Akane were defeated, Kuno threw a rose at Akane and started spouting old english poetry (which is all he speaks) at her.  He noticed Ranma and that was their first fight.  It started with Kuno's ever popular verse, "I am the undefeated captain of this schools kendo club.  The rising new start of the high school fencing world!  The sound of my voice strikes fear into the hearts of my enemies.  My peers call me the blue thunder of Furinkan High!  Tatewaki Kuno, age 17."  After a not so grueling fight, it broke up after it started raining and Ranma was (just) saved by his father, and Kuno didnt notice anything strange, besides the fact a panda with a kettle broke up the fight and spirited Ranma away.  Afterwards,after Ranma changed back,he and Akane were sent to stand in the hall for being tardy. It is here Ranma learns that all the boys are attacking Akane because Kuno said noboy can date ith Akane untill they defeat her in combat.  And Kuno, who is in Nabiki's class, got thrown out for disrupting class(he found out Ranma and Akane were engaged).  So the second fight began.  Ranma jumped out of a window because he didnt want to endanger any students, and Kuno was stupid enough to follow.  Which in turn makes Ranma stupid enough for not looking where he leaps, for they fell into a swimming pool.  Ranma tried swimming away, but Kuno grabbed him, and instead found himself groping a females chest.  After Ranma Throws Kuno out of the pool and steps on his face, Kuno comes to the conclusion that Ranma put a girl in his place while he fled, so Kuno followed. Ranma, now soaking wet and changing his clothes, thinks Kuno knos his secret, then Akane come by to give him a pot of hot water. But, Kuno got in the way and Ranma couldnt chnge back.  Kuno challenged Ranma to a duel, saying if Ranma defeated him, she could date him, Ranma won, but Kuno never got his date.  Ranma got a letter of challenge from Kuno for his female form, and Ranma, as prideful as he is, went.  It is here that Kuno shows his love for the "pig-tailed girl".  And afte that, Kuno is always after not only Akane, but Ranma as well.

Personality:  Kuno is from a rich family of three, and probobly has more sense than the rest of them (and since Kuno has almost none at all, you can only imagine what kind of family).  Despite overwhelming evidence that both Ranma's are the same person, he believes Ranma has the pig-tailed girl captive with black magic, and must defea Ranma to free her, and Akane from Ranma's "evil clutches".  He is a good fighter and loves poetry, And is VERY perverted.
