Ranma 1/2: Kuno Kodachi

Source: Marcello on Flickr

Infamously known as “The Black Rose” for her theatrical style of leaving the scene with a trail of black roses and a high-pitched laughter, Kuno Kodachi is the feared captain of the gymnastics team of St. Hebereke School for Girls. She is an expert in Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics, highly skilled in acrobatics and the use of a wide range of weapons. Kodachi is known to attack her opponents prior to the actual competition in order to win by default or, as she would put it, “fighting in all fairness before the match”.

This brings back a lot of fond memories. Then again, I could be completely wrong here, since the series is such a classic and this was taken in the last Japan Comiket 83! Let me know if you guys think otherwise. Thanks again to Marcello for letting me feature this!
