Tatewaki Kuno was the greatest champion of Furinkan High School, until Ranma Saotome arrived. According to one student, he does remain its greatest pervert, though.
==Description==
A pompous, bombastic scion of a noble house, his father is the principal of Furinkan and this, coupled with his skill, makes him someone of importance in school. Caught up in his own ego and almost delusional obsessions with the samurai, he blatantly lusts after Akane Tendo - and doesn't lose any interest even when he finds himself also attracted to a mysterious "Pigtailed Girl", making no secret that his ultimate desire/intention is to have them both as his girlfriends. That neither of them is even attracted to him, never mind happy with the idea, is something that doesn't register.
==Powers and abilities==
Kuno is an extraordinary swordsman, capable of destroying entire walls and tree trunks with the movement of air caused by his rapid movements. He prefers to use a wooden sword for martial arts respect. According to Ranma, if Kuno used a real sword he would be unbeatable, but seeing his stupidity would end up losing him with that too. Kuno is also endowed with superhuman physical strength, exceptional speed and elevation.
