Hikaru Gosunkugi

Hikaru Gosunkugi is a 15 year old Freshman at Furinkan High School. He is one of the least popular students there, and has no friends. Tatewaki Kuno pays Gosunkugi for the photos he takes in hopes of discovering Ranma's weak spot.

Like many of the other male characters in the series, Gosunkugi is in love with Akane even though he is too shy to tell her. He also realizes that he would never stand a chance against her other suitors like Ryoga and Kuno. Gosunguki has earned the nickname "Voodoo Spike", because of his interest in the occult. He is often seen with lighted candles tied to his head and nailing straw voodoo dolls to trees. Unfortunately, in the anime, most of Gosunkugi's parts were given to Sasuke Sagurature.
