Old Washer Woman

The Old Washer Woman (水まき婆さん) is an unnamed woman who appears frequently in the manga and anime. She lives between the Tendo Dojo and Dr. Tofu's Clinic, so Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo always pass her house on the way to and from school. The old woman is usually seen cleaning the outside of her home by splashing water on the sidewalk, invariably splashing a cursed character when they happen to pass by.
