Genma Saotome

Genma Saotome is very much like his son Ranma.https://anilist.co/character/668/RanmaSaotome He is somewhat arrogant when it comes to his martial arts abilities which he rarely showcases due to cowardice or laziness. It was Genma that took Ranma to Jusenkyo. Because he was unable to read the pamphlet which was in Chinese he had no idea of the curses that existed there. When splashed with cold water Genma transforms into a panda. When in this form he uses signs with written messages on them to communicate. Although he often tries to rid himself of his curse he doesnt seem to mind it as much as Jusenkyos other victims. Most of Genmas time is spent sitting around the Tendo home playing Go with his best friend Soun.https://anilist.co/character/9215/SounTendou Source: Rumic World
