Genma is the lazy, oportunistic, ever-hungry, good-for-nothing, etc., etc., but always loveable father of Ranma of the Japanese television/comic series; Ranma ½. Normally he appears to be a man in his mid-forties, somewhat over-weight and lacking in hair. He does have a small, furry problem, though; when doused with cold water he transforms into a Giant Panda. His problem started when he decided to take Ranma on a training mission to the cursed springs of Jusenkyo, China. But, Genma, being as lazy as he is, never bothered to find out what the curse was or learn any Chinese, come to think of it. Anyway, to make a long story short, he managed to fall into the Spring-Of-Drowned-Panda (Xiong-Mao-Niichuan) and thus his story begins... |
