Character Description: Shampoo

A cute, uninhibited, acrobatic, ruthless, violent Chinese girl. Fresh from the cursed springs of Jusenkyo, the Jusenkyo guide led a hungry Ranma and Genma to the Joketsuzoku village, where Shampoo was defeating all challengers in their annual contest.

Ranma and Genma sat at a fully laden banquet table and proceeded to eat the food, which turned out to be the first prize in the contest. Challenged by the champion Shampoo, Ranma entered the contest and quickly defeated her. Then Shampoo gave Ranma-chan the kiss of death, a promise to track her to ends of the Earth and kill her, and proceeded to chase Ranma-chan across China trying to kill her.

Shampoo arrives in Tokyo and follows a panda back to the Tendo dojo, where she meets the boy Ranma for the first time. Shampoo attacks Akane for hiding Ranma, so Ranma defends her... accidentally KO'ing Shampoo. But instead of giving Ranma-kun the kiss of death, Shampoo declares her love for him and calls him "husband"!

According to the scriptures of the Joketsuzoku, when defeated by an outsider, if it is a woman you give her the kiss of death and kill her, but if it is a man you marry him.

Ruthless with her rivals, she tries to make Akane forget everything about Ranma by brainwashing her with the special formula 110 shampoo (Ranma uses formula 119 to restore her memory). Crushed when Ranma finally reveals his secret to her and tells her he (Ranma) is really a girl, she goes home and renews her training at Jusenkyo with her great-grandmother Cologne. Cologne knocks her into Maoniichuan, where a cat drowned 1800 years ago. Now assured that Ranma is truly a man, she and Cologne return to Japan and try to get Ranma to fall in love with her, by any means necessary, even magic. Shampoo now waits on tables at the Neko Hanten, her great-grandmother's Chinese restaurant, and delivers ramen by bicycle, occasionally running down people on the streets and rooftops.

WHAT THE! Why would they name a character after a hair product?

Anyway I do like Shampoo but not so much. She is the one that brainwashed Akane and totally forgot about Ranma! That was selfish of her. She made Akane just forget about Ranma no one else. She wanted him all to herself. Ranma was crushed when he found out Akana didn't remember him. Ranma is the one that brought back Akane's memory of him by saying some familiar words!

Its so obvious Ranma has feelings for Akane and Akane has feelings for Ranma they just don't want to admit it. They will I'm sure of it :)

-shampoo is chinese amazon so her being amazon along with chinese would explain the 5'5".

-Shampoo is my favorite Ranma character, but I can't imagine her being 5'5". It's the far east. The Chinese don't get tall, and neither do the Japanese. The average Japanese woman is 5'2".-
shampoo is chinese amazon so her being amazonalong with chinese would explain the 5'5".

Man, Shampoo is the beast(literally speaking) and damn too cute to boot! I wish it was her and Ranma in the end. I prefer her over Ranma's other suitors.

The style of anime used is great,but what kind of a name in Shampoo anyway?

Flag[admin]#10 - Posted by Kuchiki-oneesama on Tuesday, June 8th, 2010 at 10:42am:

Shampoo, I admit, is kind of kawaii (like Yachiru from Bleach), but she's creepy. "Akane jealous that Ranma love me, not Akane? Too bad!" What the heck? If I spoke like Shampoo: "Ranma and Akane, no Ranma and Shampoo!"

Shampoo was the second character I ever heard of(the first was Ranma) but I don't like her. She loves Ranma because of the amazon law and always says "Ranma love Shampoo and Shampoo only!" When did Ranma ever say he loves her? Though I'll admit one thing, Shampoo sure is KAWAII! :D
