==Biography==
Ryoga met Ranma in junior high school. During that time, they had an ongoing rivalry about who would get bread at lunch; Ryōga never won, and eventually got sick of this and challenged Ranma to a duel in the vacant lot behind Ryōga's house. Unfortunately, due to his notoriously bad sense of direction it took four days for Ryōga, and Ranma had left after the third day of waiting. For this, Ryōga started to chase Ranma and ended up in China, all the way to Jusenkyo, where he was knocked into the Spring of Drowned Piglet by a crazy girl chasing a panda — which is why he blames his curse on Ranma's "cowardice".
Eventually, Ryōga tracked Ranma down to Nerima, where he ended up cutting off Shampoo’s hair instead of Akane’s, However he still ended up falling for Akane due to her support when she found out what happened. With her help he ended up forgiving Ranma, though they still fought — as much for their mutual respect of each other's skills as because of their irritation. Upon finding out about the engagement he started trying to convince Ranma to choose Shampoo. As Shampoo was the one who was requested to take on Kodachi he ended up training her.
When Shampoo ended up being kidnapped by Azusa Shiratori Ryoga assured Akane that he would skate with her to win Shampoo back. However Akane ended up choosing Ranma as her partner since he was a better skater. Though she did teach Ryoga how to skate during which time she confided in him that she thought Ranma was going to choose Shampoo over her. He did ended up subbing for Ranma when he was forced to use water to wake him up and Ranma went to find hot water. He proved more of a hindrance and was ultimately paired up with Ranma-chan when Akane was knocked out protecting him. Ranma ended up pulling both him and Akane out of the ring when Mikado was attacked by Perfume.
Seeing how depressed Akane had become after he chose Shampoo over her Ranma decided to play matchmaker between her and Ryoga. With a little help from Nabiki and Formula 612 he was able to convince Ryoga to ask her out.
As Akane and Ryoga’s relationship advanced she offered to start training him in the Wind Style. This moment was marred by Maomolin attempting to claim Shampoo as his bride. While they weren’t able to rescue Shampoo they were able to free her from Maomolin’s curse after a brutal battle between Akane and Cologne. Ryoga ended up confessing his love for Akane when she used the Friendship Bracelets to split the curse between her and Shampoo.
Ryoga’s and Akane’s relationship advanced quite a bit but his shyness still prevented him from pushing it further. Eventually Mousse convinced him to go for what he want, unfortunately just before he was about to have his first kiss they were interrupted by Happosai. When Shampoo was kidnapped by Bu Xien Akane and Ryoga were quickly incapacitated. Later he went with Ranma to get Kodachi’s help in making an antitoxin to Bu’s poisons. She ended up knocking him out in an attempt to seduce Ranma.
After making his way back to Nerima Ryoga came across Mousse and mistook him psyching himself up to ask out Ukyo as encouragement to finally make his move on Akane, so asked her out to the fair.
Despite this step ahead Ryoga still proved to be very nervous causing him to waste a lot of time and money trying to wing Akane a prize. Knowing the game was rigged she eventually used the wind style to help him. Before they could move on they kept being interrupted from Yuka and Sayuri making a bet with someone regarding Akane’s skill, to Perfume chasing after Mikado, to Happosai suddenly showing up.
By this point Ryoga had completely given up considering him and Akane a lost cause when much to his surprise she kissed him saying that she already knew. After Ranma and Shampoo learned the Art of Focus Soon Li decided to take them to the mountains so that they could master it. She took Ryoga and Akane as well so that they could learn the Art of Chaos so that they could keep up with the twos dramatic increase in skill.
Akane and Ryoga engaged in a mass of completely wild activities, such as insisting on being called `George', going for short runs, and challenging Genma to a game of Shogi. Soon Li also added some activities that would help his and Akane’s relationship move along faster.
When Akane expressed her desire to meet his parents Ryoga expressed disinterest as it was unlikely they would be home. When he asked Akane why she wanted to go through the trouble she realized she didn’t want to prod the question of marriage out of him. the conversation was interrupted by Mousse so she changed the subject.
Ryoga expressed his confusion that Ranma asked him to be his best man given their antagonism, but Akane explained that he didn’t know how to act around people.
When Natsume and Kurumi challenged Akane and Shampoo for the dojo the two camped out in the mountains to get the most time to train, forcing Ranma and Ryoga to track them down to remind them of Kasumi’s wedding.
After a devastating battle Shampoo was the only one left standing. Ranma and Ryoga quickly rushed onto the field after Soon Li officially declared Akane and Shampoo the victors, while the others sighed their relief.
When the family woke up to find Shampoo and Akane gone and Perfume fallen into some kind of deep hibernation. After determining that later was ok they set about searching for the former. Unfortunately a few hours later Genma, Soun, Nabiki, Kasumi, Ryoga, Natsumi, and Kurumi ended up passing out.
When Shampoo disappeared the group searched for over an hour, but couldn’t find her. Returning to the dojo they received a call from Ukyo telling them that Shampoo was in the original universe. After confirming that the bracelets were gone, Akane and Ranma went to were Ukyo said Soon Li would be to find them. While Ryoga stayed behind to tell everyone else what was going on.
