KUNOU TATEWAKI (aka Kunou-sempai, Upperclassman Kunou, Blue Thunder)

	Looks:  Tall and actually quite handsome when he isn't laughing
goofily.  Problem is, he thinks he's better-looking than he actually
is.  Tends to dress in kenjutsu gear without the armor.
	Smarts:  Dumb as a box of rocks, though we make an exception for his
knowledge of classical Japanese poetry (or Shakespeare in the US
version.)
	Personality:  Has an ego the size of Kyoto, and Takahashi character
stubborness so bad, he won't admit to himself that neither Akane or
the pig-tailed girl like him even after they spell it out repeatedly
both verbally and physically.  At least some of his behavior is
explainable by early abuse by his father, and possibly his sister's
chemical experiments have something to do with it.  Mostly, he thinks
*he's* the star of the series, and doesn't get why he isn't being
treated like it.
	Cooking:  Unlikely.  He's also so careless, he'll eat Kodachi's
concoctions on the assumption they're Akane's!  I suspect that with
his gift for self-delusion, you can feed him broken glass, and he'd
enjoy it, *if* you told him it was cooked by one of his obsessions.
	Fighting Skills:  By the Ranmaverse standard, pretty mediocre.  Just
about everybody that bothers to fight Kunou stomps him.  But he is
capable of slicing stone with a wooden sword, which is pretty
impressive by real-world standards.  Also, he's totally specialized in
Kenjutsu, which leaves him at a disadvantage if his sword is taken
away.
	Special Abilities:  Nigh-indestructible, capable of self-delusion on a
truly grand scale.
	Competition:  Akane, Ranma.  Not that either of these would really
stand in your way (Ranma might do his "girly girl" bit one last time
for giggles) but you'll somehow have to break the boy of his
obsessions.
	In-Laws:  Kodachi, the Principal.  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.
	Economics:  Kunou is stinking filthy rich, but seems to make poor
buying decisions.  Insist on the traditional Japanese "wife handle the
household accounts" arrangement.
	Sex:  Well, he'll think he did a good job  :-)  (He also thinks he's
twelve inches...:-) Will probably take a lot of coaching before he can
really satisfy a woman.

	Overall:  You're marrying him for the money, right?

SKJAM!
