Furinkan High School



Furinkan High School is a co-ed high school in Furinkan that is attended by Akane Tendo, Ranma Saotome, Tatewaki Kuno, and Nabiki Tendo. The school is one of the most commonly seen locations in the series. It is run by Principal Kuno and Hinako Ninomiya teaches English here.

Shortly after arriving in Furinkan, Ranma was enrolled here. On his first day he managed to earn both the rivalry of Tatewaki Kuno in his male form and conversely his love in his female form. Akane used to have to fight a horde of male students who were pursuing her every morning until they recognized her engagement to Ranma and gave up on her. Ukyo Kuonji later became a student here after arriving in Furinkan. Other characters seeking Ranma such as Ryoga Hibiki and Shampoo tend to drop by Furinkan during the day because he can be found here. The school is also a favorite target of Happosai for his underwear raids.
