Tatewaki Kunou

Tatewaki Kunou stands as the leading figure of Furinkan High School's kendo club, hailing from a privileged household with an ego to match. He habitually speaks in an exaggerated, archaic literary style and simultaneously harbors deep infatuation for both Akane Tendou and the transformed Ranma—whom he refers to as the 'pigtailed girl.' Due to a severe disconnect from reality, he never manages to uncover Ranma's true identity, and he continuously challenges others to duels under the most absurd pretexts, cementing his role as one of the series' most iconic comic relief characters.
