Nihao, everyone!

Being a person with too much time on his hands, I've been working on
figuring out what the proper romanizations for the non-toiletries
versions of the Chinese names in Ranma are. In the course of doing so,
I've found some things that may amuse.

Note that this is based on the standard (Mandarin) dialect of Chinese,
which is the only one I have any knowledge of or research materials
concerning. Those of you who actually know Chinese, please correct me if
any of this is wrong. I couldn't find anywhere on the web where I could
actually see these peoples' names written in Chinese characters, which
would have saved a lot of guesswork. If anyone knows of such a place,
please inform me.

Mr. Kleppe. I have the memorial book to ranma 1/2 and anyone else who
has it has the chinese characters for shampoo mousse, and just about
everyone elses name.

I have a somewhat similar muse reguarding Chinese. How would you
pronounce the kanji's that spell out special attacks?

ka-chu-ten-shin-ama-guri-ken
fire-in-sky-(something)-sweet-chestnut-fist
How ould this be romanised if some were using the chinese pronuciations?
These are not the kunyobi readings after all...
