Nabiki Tendo

Nabiki Tendo is a sharp, money-minded middle sister of the Tendo family from Rumiko Takahashi's martial-arts romantic comedy Ranma ½, published in English by Viz. She has no combat powers but is known for her shrewd business instincts and opportunistic personality.

Nabiki Tendo made her English-language comics debut in 1992 through Viz, stepping onto the page in the company of Ranma Saotome, Akane Tendo, and a wonderfully chaotic cast that made Ranma 1/2 one of the most beloved manga properties of the Copper/Modern Age. Appearing across 23 catalog entries — including Ranma 1/2 and Ranma 1/2 Part Six — she's a fixture of a series that captivated Western readers discovering manga through Viz's pioneering translations. Whether you're a longtime fan of the franchise or just beginning to explore the era when manga first truly broke through to North American comics shelves, Nabiki is a character whose presence across this run makes her well worth seeking out.
