Manga Biography
After Shampoo is unable to defeat Ranma, she meets with her great-grandmother Cologne at Jusenkyo. While the two begin to fight above the cursed springs a man sits and watches the the fight with the Jusenkyo Guide. However, when Shampoo is knocked into a cursed spring the man declares shock and worry for her, as she is his daughter. After the Jusenkyo Guide explains that Shampoo fell into the spring of drowned cat (Maonīchuan), her father declares his shock and horror at what has happened to her.

After this point it is believed that Shampoo's father went with Shampoo, Cologne (and eventually Mousse) to work/live in the Cat Café, as he is seen occasionally cooking food to be served then served by Shampoo.

Non-cannon Appearances
His most prominent role is in the Ranma game for the PC engine, where he is the last boss. Shampoo's father challenges Ranma in anger over him "playing with his daughter's heart."
