Hibiki Ryoga ~ Ranma 1/2

Ryoga, with his umbrellaBackground

Ryoga went to junior high with Ranma, where he developed a lunch-room grudge against him.  Ryoga challenged Ramna to a fight; in a vacant lot behind his house.  Ranma arrived at the predetermined time, and waited...for three days.   On the fourth day, Ryoga finally arrived.  Furious that his opponent was missing, he swore to track him down and get revenge.  While following Ranma, Ryoga has the misfortune to fall into one of the springs at Jusenkyo.  He now lives with the curse of turning into a little black piglet whenever he is splashed with cold water.

Mentally...

Ryoga is a two-sided character...On one hand, he is very protective and attached to Tendo Akane, while on the other, all he wants is to defeat Ranma...at any cost.  I have to admire his tenacity, as well as his loyalty to Akane.  The scenes where he tries to tell her how he feels are so cute!  The only thing I really dislike about his personality are his actions while in cursed form.  As "P-chan", he frequently sleeps and bathes with Akane.  (She has no idea that her pet piglet is Ryoga)  He is taking advantage of his curse in an immoral way.

Physically...

Just look at him, he's adorable!  I can't really pinpoint one thing that I especially like...I like them all! ^_^

Vocally...

I prefer Ryoga's Japanese voice to his English one.
