well, I promised to finish off the Tendou family...

SOUN TENDOU (Akane's dad)

	Looks: Pretty good, actually, with the long black hair and the
trim build for a middle-aged man.  Tends to dress down.  Has an
interesting selection of funny faces when upset.
	Smarts:  Enough to get some prime real estate in Tokyo and found
his own dojo.  Plays a decent game of go or shogi.
	Personality:  Rather lazy.  Spends most of his time lounging
around the house.  Tends to be highly emotional.  Scared stiff of
Happosai.
	Cooking:  He's got Kasumi for that.  Learned to get by on
relatively little food while training.
	Fighting Skills:  Adequate.  Has his own dojo, but is almost never
seen training, or teaching students other than Akane.
	Special Abilities:  "Floating Head with Long Tongue" face, ability
to keep dojo open despite no visible means of support.
	Competition:  None, that I know of.
	In-Laws:  Kasumi, Nabiki, Akane (actually step-daughters); maybe
Ranma and Genma (oh, and Nodoka...).  Kasumi might feel a little jealous,
after all, she's been the woman of the house for years now, but she'll
never show it.  Nabiki and Akane might be more unaccepting, especially if
their new mom is very young.  And if you're especially cute, watch out for
Happosai.
	Economics:  Well, if you can get Soun off his butt and back to
active teaching, the dojo might actually become self-supporting.
	Sex:  Well, he's had some experience, but he hasn't had any
practice lately.  Might try for a son if the new wife is young enough. 

	Overall:  Hey, at least he's more mature than most of the other
prospects on this show. 

SKJAM!
