Principal Kuno

A delightfully eccentric presence in Viz's beloved Ranma 1/2, Principal Kuno made his debut in 1997 as part of Rumiko Takahashi's wildly inventive martial-arts comedy universe. Emerging in the Copper/Modern Age, he inhabits a world packed with unforgettable personalities — sharing pages with the likes of Cologne, Happosai, Ukyo Kuonji, and the Saotome and Tendo families. His catalog footprint may be modest, but in a series this rich with charismatic characters, even a handful of appearances leaves a mark worth tracking down.
