Ukyo Kuonji

An okonomiyaki chef and a childhood friend of Ranma. He meets her during his training with Genma, though he doesn't realize she is a girl, and her father proposes an arranged marriage with his okonomiyaki cart acting as the dowry. Genma ends up stealing the cart and breaking the engagement. She is mocked by other girls for not being feminine enough to keep her fiance, so she gives it up and learns how to act like a boy. She spends ten years learning martial arts to prepare for revenge. Ranma eventually learns that she is female and calls her "cute", which causes her to attempt to reestablish their engagement.
