Sentaro Daimonji



Sentaro Daimonji is the heir to the Daimonji School of the Martial Arts Tea Ceremony, of which his grandmother is the current head.

Sentaro means "boiling great son," which may be a reference to the fact that he is about to inherit his family's legacy. Daimonji is "(Dai) faithful service to those older + (mon) problem (or some monkey reference) + (ji) pity".

The heir to the House of Daimonji and fiancé of Satsuki Mikaoji, Sentaro is a user of the martial arts style of tea ceremony. As sole heir to the school, he is expected to marry, but wishes to choose his bride rather than have one selected for him. Ranma gets wrapped up in the situation when Sentaro kidnaps her, thinking to make her his bride since she appears strong. In the manga he hopes Ranma can defeat the monkey that is posing as his fiancee, while in the anime it is his grandmother he wish Ranma to defeat. After he learns Ranma is in fact a man, his interest switches to Akane. In the course of battle, Sentaro tries to kill both Ranma and Sanae until he finds that his real fiancee is Satsuki. Sentaro often rides a horse named Tsukikage when he is out in the town.
