Shampoo:  Shampoo not born in Japan.  Not have first person pronoun
assigned to her at birth.

R/A/U:    Huh?  What do you mean?

Shampoo:  Japanese people all use different pronouns.  Akane use 'atashi';
Ranma use 'boku'; spatula girl use 'ore'.  Obviously assigned at birth.
Shampoo not have one; have to use name.

Of course that wouldn't work because in Japanese, Shampoo probably 
doesn't call herself "Shampoo".  Although I notice C-Ko does call 
herself "C-Ko".  Just one of her many loathesome kawaii-isms.

Quite right. Shampoo uses "watashi", and it's written in kanji no less -
a very formal and proud way of identifying herself, fit for a warrior.

Speaking about C-ko, -Azusa- of R1/2 refers to herself as "Azusa-chan",
because it's soooo cute.
