History
Cologne is the great-grandmother of Shampoo and accompanied Shampoo when she returned to Japan, opening the Cat Café in Furinkan. is a Fictional character in Rumiko Takahashi 's Anime and Manga series Ranma ½. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics. This is a list of locations from Ranma ½, the Manga and Anime series created by Rumiko Takahashi. She is a contemporary of Happosai, and possibly a leader (or the leader) of the Chinese Joketsuzoku tribe. is a Fictional character in the Anime and Manga series Ranma ½ by Rumiko Takahashi. This is a list of locations from Ranma ½, the Manga and Anime series created by Rumiko Takahashi. Cologne is very elderly, being either 118+ years old (manga) or around 300 (anime). Many years ago, as a young woman, she was quite beautiful (and normal sized), in contrast to Happosai, who was basically the same, only younger. The cause of her shrinkage is unknown.
Cologne calls Ranma Saotome "bride-groom" and "future son-in-law," (just son-in-law in the English-dub) and though she tries to trick and scheme to get Ranma to marry Shampoo at first (as well as at a couple of opportunities that fall into her lap), most of the time she is there as an aside, seeming to find joy in just watching the madness. is a Fictional character and the Protagonist of the Anime and Manga series Ranma ½ created by Rumiko Takahashi. She is a grand master of martial arts, and occasionally teaches Ranma new techniques, sometimes doing the same for his rivals. Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for Combat. She gets around by pogoing on a gnarled wooden staff that she sometimes uses as a weapon. A pogo stick is a device consisting of a pole with a handle at one end footpads on the other and a spring which supports the stick and user when on the ground
Fighting Ability
See also Cologne's techniques. This article cover fighting techniques used by characters in Ranma ½ that are not practitioners of Musabetsu Kakutō Ryū.
Of the entire Ranma cast, only Happosai could compare with Cologne's sheer skill, though the latter's full battle aura, Ryoga's perfect Shishi Hōkōdan, or Rouge's and Saffron's fire projection all seem quite beyond her in terms of raw power. is a Fictional character in the Anime and Manga series Ranma ½ by Rumiko Takahashi. She is the grand master of the Chinese Amazon martial arts and likely knows many ancient martial techniques that have been passed down for thousands of years. In addition to the martial arts, Cologne is knowledgeable in several other disciplines such as arcane lore, cooking, Chinese mythology, and magic artifacts.
It is likely that she trained generations of Chinese Amazon warriors before she trained Shampoo, making her at least partially responsible for the Chinese Amazon tribe being the powerful warrior tribe that they are today. Cologne is also capable of trickery in combat such as holding back her true martial arts abilities in order to lull her opponents into a false sense of confidence, which once worked on Ranma all too well. Overall, she is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Trivia
- In the Latin American dubbing she's said to be 3000ish, possibly a translation mistake. There is a Christmas episode where she says (referring the death of Jesus Christ and not literally):"Yo sólo tenía 500 años cuando todo ocurrió" ("I was only 500 when everything happened". Jesus of Nazareth (7–2 BC / BCE —26–36 AD / CE) )
- Although Cologne is Shampoo's great-grandmother, she often refers to Ranma as her "future son-in-law", which on a technical level would be incorrect unless she was Shampoo's mother. Alternatively, she may simply consider "Future great-grandson-in-law" to be something of a mouthful.
- A running gag in the series involves someone (usually Mousse) insulting Cologne by calling her a disrespectful name (e. g. , Mackerel Jerky, Mysterious Mummy, old ghoul, Dried Up Monkey etc. ) which is quickly followed by Cologne whacking him over the head with her staff, even if he is well out of its reach.
- In the anime, when introducing or talking about a technique Cologne has mentioned historical figures who succumbed to or were fooled by it.
