1. If you're going to write Ranma fanfics, Ratliff, learn to spell

SAOTOME

correctly. Also learn that the series is set in Nerima, which is in

Tokyo,

which is in JAPAN, so you DON'T HAVE SCHOOLS NAMED MACARTHUR.

It's always possible that someone (possibly an American) named the school
after Douglas MacArthur in the post-war years.

Actually, it's more than possible that schools could be named MacArthur in
Japan...

My mom was an english teacher in Japan (this was a LONG time ago, like
almost 30 years now- the sixties.  She was there when we landed on the
moon, and every Japanese person was congradulating every gaijin about their
accomplishment very... enthusiastically) in Kanazawa.  Now, when she was
there, a feeder school opened up to the high school she taught at named
after MacArthur...  (He was, after all, basically the chief of state in
Japan for quite some time after WWII).  My mother recalls it as being a
very modern school, for the time, but it was too small for the number of
students it had...
