Shampoo
It
be Shampoo the lovely catgirl to be more specific. One of the few
splendors of Ranma 1/2
well that is besides the comedy but seriosly Shampoo runs around in her
pyjamas which is a great thing i think we will all agree to that especially
the members of the Shampoo worship mailing list and i just happen
to be a member......what a surprise huh but anyways last but not least
i must add her ditsy attidute which is a major turn on ide say she would
willingly do anything. Happy me.
Shampoo
is an Amazon from the Amazon village, Joketzukoku. When
Ranma
and Genma
had left Jusenkyo after they had fallen, they chased each other to Joketzukoku,
where an annual contest was being held. Since they had just been
dunked, they were one hungry girl-panda pair, and they ate a small feast
which happened to be the prize for the winner of the contest. Shampoo
had won, and, infuriated that her prize had been eaten by an outsider,
challenged the female Ranma. Ranma beat Shampoo, adding injury to
insult, and Shampoo gave Ranma the "Kiss Of Death", which meant that Shampoo
would hunt her forever and kill her.
Shampoo followed Ranma and Genma to Nerima where she found
the male Ranma. He accidentally defeated her (he didn't want to fight
her), and Shampoo said "Wo Ai Ni" which means I love you In Chinese.
It would later be found that Amazon law states if a woman is defeated by
another woman, she must kill her, but if a woman is defeated by a man,
she must make him her husband. Shampoo continued to fawn over the
male Ranma, while trying to kill the female Ranma, until Ranma revealed
to Shampoo that he and her are one and the same (try sayin' that four times
fast). But Shampoo had fallen in love with Ranma, and, with conflicting
emotions, said "Bie Liao" which means we'll never meet again, and left.
Shampoo returned to the village, and her great-grandmother
faced her atop the poles of Jusenkyo, where she said Shampoo had brought
shame to the tribe by returning in defeat, and proceeded to train her all
over again. Well, she got knocked into the Spring of Drowned Cat,
Maonichuan. She therefore undergoes the Jusenkyo curse.

Shampoo travelled back to Nerima with her great-grandmother and used the
curse to sneak into the Tendo dojo as a cat. She broke into Ranma's
bath to catch him, but Ranma went phobic when he saw her because of his
ailurophobia(he's afraid of cats).
Shampoo and her great-grandmother run a ramen restaurant called the Cat
Cafe in Nerima, and Shampoo often tries to win Ranma's affections, or,
in most cases, scheme for them. She is trained in Amazon combat,
and, if fighting, will be armed with a sword or "bonboris", a pair of round
mallets.
