Ukyo & Co.

Nabiki, her two sisters, their friend Ukyo and their former enemy Xian-pu have grown up and have become women each grappling with their own lives and with all the good things and the troubles that existence on this world entails. These, however, are the main characters of the webcomic "A day like any others".
But not only that, there are also Sanae, Sentaro, Kaori and all the others... even if they could be considered secondary characters, they aren't really.

Akane Tendo

Akane, the youngest of three Tendo sisters, has become a beautiful young woman, she married the boy she loves and has inherited the family martial arts gym... it would seem that everything goes well... but Akane is always Akane!
In addition to never having learned to swim or cook, Akane has remained the usual tomboy who prefers to solve things in her own way, regularly getting into trouble, but from which she (almost always) manages to get out, much to everyone's relief.

Ranma Saotome

The only heir (for now) of the "prestigious" Saotome school of martial arts, Ranma managed after various vicissitudes to free himself from the curse that haunted him since, years earlier, he had fallen into a cursed pool of water that transformed him into a girl every time he came into contact with cold water and transformed him back into a boy only in contact with hot water.
After returning to a normal person he married his beloved Akane and together he became a martial arts teacher highly regarded for his skill and, unlike Akane, for his patience with his students.

After having cooled off her anger towards Ranma (guilty of abandoning her for the okonomiyaki kiosk of her father) and after having "convinced" Shampoo to leave Ranma and Akane alone, our Ukyo enlisted in the Self-Defense Forces becoming a member of a team of rescue. Seriously injured during a mountain rescue operation that ended badly, she willingly agreed to become the business partner of her friend Nabiki who, after leaving the world of fashion, became a psychologist... she will have made the right choice?

Sanae Tendo

Sanae is Nabiki's fifteen-year-old daughter, always cheerful and sunny, her dream is to become, one day, a supermodel like Nabiki was (even if Nabiki doesn't find it a good idea, and she sincerely hopes that Sanae will changes her mind).
Despite her young age, she's very mature and very often she is the only person capable of putting a stop to the exaggeratedly lively character of her mother.
However, she inherited a significant part of Nabiki's personality, including her incredible ability to conceal her feelings and contain her anger... but when Sanae really gets angry it's better to be on another continent!

The Panda

Big, fat and bulky, this anthropomorphic panda is the material personification of the panda that Genma Saotome transformed into when, due to the curse of the cursed springs, it came into contact with cold water.
Somehow (mostly thanks to Akane and Nabiki), the curse was lifted and the panda became a regular guest at the Tendo home until, one day, he disappeared ... mysteriously... to come back years later to get his revenge against Genma... who had sold him without thinking twice about a circus!
He recently found a job as a disk jockey in a well-known Tokyo nightclub, which has seen its earnings increase significantly thanks to the panda's skills...

Once she was the Amazon who came from the village of warrior women to take revenge for the shame suffered (for a change) by Ranma, now she is a Chinese martial arts teacher who owns her own gym... in the same street where she is located Ranma and Akane's dojo.
With a neighbor like that it would seem that the troubles are only just beginning, but in reality Xian-pu has completely lost interest in Ranma and company's affairs.

Kaori Kobe

Kaori, a former adult film actress, is the owner of "Cat's Paw Bar" as well as one of Nabiki's friends. She's forty (but looks at least ten years younger) and is a woman of incredible kindness, able to forgive even the culinary disasters generated by her Ami or by Nabiki, when she's given permission to use the kitchen.
She has the curious habit of working wearing a very showy black evening dress, a reminder of the time she took part in a fashion show with Nabiki.
Her youthful appearance often causes envy on the part of the other female characters, including Nabiki (because, according to her, no woman can be more beautiful than her).
Age: 40
Height: 1.88m
Hair color: Black
Eyes color: Green
Old occupation: Adult film actress
Current occupation: Barkeeper
Debut: Third part

Ami Nakamura

Ami is Kaori's business partner and life partner. Between the two she's the one who usually has more common sense, except when she gets dragged into the absurd situations caused by Nabiki and Kaori herself.
However, she's "trained" enough to be able to get out of all kinds of trouble and avoid becoming the target of Nabiki's jokes.
Unlike Kaori, she doesn't know how to cook well, which is demonstrated by the large number of ovens that ended up at the scrapyard before their time.
She also works wearing the same evening dress model used by Kaori.
Age: 32
Height: 1.73m

Sentaro Morita

Sentaro is a police officer from Aomori City.
He's a great friend of Nabiki and Ukyo (as well as Ami and Kaori), who he met during the investigations concerning a group of thieves who robbed exclusively high fashion shops.
Despite being serious and attentive, Sentaro is a troublemaker without equal and, due to his shyness, he's a real disaster with women, something that his friends never fail to remind him.
Obviously, he's -like Ranma- a favorite target of Nabiki's pranks.

Hair color: Black

Maya Nijigara

This Nippo-Italian girl has been working for a well-known modeling agency for years, and was Nabiki's personal assistant when she was a top model. She was present when, during her last fashion show, Nabiki (together with Kaori) sent a large number of corrupt police officers to the hospital (this scum was in the service of a member of the Italian parliament involved in countless crimes who was in the running to become prime minister). In truth, the story is very complex and a book would not be enough to explain it; however, after Nabiki's retirement from the runways, Maya returned to managing new models, although she misses Nabiki very much.

Hair color: Dark pink (they're dyed)

Nanako Otonaka

A beautiful and charming thief met by pure chance by Sentaro and Nabiki on a market morning. Nanako is a highly sought-after thief on commission, that is, she's hired by private individuals to steal the most disparate things.

Skillful and dangerous, she doesn't find it very difficult to KO unwary people like Sentaro, however she can't compete with Nabiki.

Tamami Takeda

This young police officer is one of two shooters on the S.T.S. (Special Tactical Service), the same to which Sentaro belongs.
Tamami is known for the terrible tricks she plays on friends and colleagues and for her almost total lack of discipline towards her superiors (which has prevented her on several occasions from obtaining the rank of lieutenant despite having the skills to become one).
She grew up in a family where her father was hardly an example to follow, and for this reason she hates more than anything else in the world people who harm women and children.

Haruna Wakayama

Haruna is a seamstress who specializes in making dresses for a particular type of women: those too tall and too curvy to fit into clothes for "normal" women.
This makes her the official seamstress not only for Nabiki, but also for Kaori, who, due to their height and size, always have enormous difficulties in finding suitable clothes for them.
She always wears dark clothes because, according to her, they match the color of her hair.
Other than that, her most distinctive sign is two huge two-headed snakes tattooed on both arms. To those who ask her why she has them she usually replies "Because I like snakes!".

Mayumi "Yumi" Tokugawa

Mayumi is a young practicing psychologist who has been working with Nabiki and Ukyo for a few months.
She's very eager to learn all the tricks of the trade from her two "teachers", even if she can never understand why they sometimes behave like two complete idiots or why they make bets that they promptly lose.
Yumi is known for being as flat as a surfboard, which causes her a lot of envy of other characters, especially when Nabiki flaunts the cleavage of her dresses or when Kaori wears body-hugging clothes.

She's Haruna's half-sister and curiously, she has the same snake shaped tattoos on her arms (it is not yet clear who copied the other).

Reiko Mikami

A Tokyo ghost sweeper famous more for her attachment to money than for her skill, Mikami is able to send any type of monster, demon or ghost to the other world without too much effort (also because the bulk of the work is done by her underpaid assistant handyman Tadao).

Tadao Yokoshima

If Mikami is famous for her attachment to base money, Tadao is famous for the way he gets himself into trouble. As an assistant it wouldn't even be bad if he wasn't the kind of guy who doesn't understand anything anymore when he sees a beautiful woman, which most of the time leads him to do absurd and potentially lethal things (like asking Kaori's phone number) . Nonetheless, he is an indispensable member of Mikami's team (if things go wrong Mikami can use him as a human shield or blame him if the mission doesn't go as it should) and is very attached to both Okinu and Mikami.

The demoness

The infernal creature that haunts Nabiki, Mikami and the others on Hashima Island is a very powerful demon hungry for power, attracted on the island by the aura emanating from Asami.
Present for centuries upon this world, she can't remember which it was neither her name nor her origin, but she didn't care much (the only thing that is important for her is harm the humans).

After the closure of the mine and the consequent abandonment of the island, Asami spent decades in complete solitude.

Manola (Manu to her friends) is famous for being an unparalleled meddler who likes to get into trouble (this is what others think, but for her "trouble" is scoop), and this attitude of hers has led her to step on the toes of powerful people on several occasions... not that it worries her that much...
