Nodoka is Ranma's loving mother. She hasn't seen him and Genma in over a decade though, when they left on their training trip. Stating that a doting mother would hinder Ranma's training, Genma made a contract with her to raise Ranma as "man amongst men", and if he failed, he and Ranma were to commit seppuku. However, because Ranma's curse makes him a woman half the time, they spent most of Nodoka's appearances hiding from her as Ranko Tendo and her pet, Mr. Panda. Nodoka's heart was constantly broken by knowing that she wanted nothing more than to see her son again. Eventually in the manga, she did meet Ranma and Genma and discovers their curses. However, she was more accepting than they expected. Mostly because she eventually began to suspect that Ranma and Ranko were, in fact, the same person. (Wikipedia)
Mrs. Tendo is the mother of Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane, and the wife of Soun. She passed away many years ago leaving Soun to raise the children. It is never said how she died, but the family still thinks of her lovingly. After Mrs. Tendo's death Kasumi assumed a more motherly role and helped with household duties. (Source: Rumic World)
Nina is a classmate of Ayu. When Ayu first met her, she had lost her "magic computer," and as it turns out, Nina actually comes from another world called the Magic Kingdom! Nina is in fact, a magician, and with the help of her little computer, she can put enchantments on things and people. Although her intentions are usually very good, the results aren't all that magnificent... Nina is currently studying aboard at Ayu's school and lives with a host family (mix of magic and normal human marriage). Nina also has a cat pet, Rio, who can be turned into human form when taking a magic pill. Nina admires Ayu a lot and will do anything to try help her! Nina is also the first one to discover Kaji's true personality. She also likes to refer to herself in the third-person.
Height: 162 cm The popular girl at school who makes friends with the new student at school, Nina, who is a magic girl. Ayu doesn't believe in magic or anything like that, she has to keep her cool to maintain her reputation. She loves to play tennis and has a huge crush on Tetsushi.
Outgoing and usually the instigator of the pack, she is identifiable by the fact that she does not wear a blazer over her shirt and tie like most other characters. She likes to achieve her objectives in a straight-forward manner and doesn't really seem to mind other people's circumstances. Because she was absent during the first few days of school, she was unwittingly assigned as a member of the discipline committee. She has an older brother Kitsune, whom she apparently holds in very low regard, and an older sister Oniyuri. As she does not have a very good relationship with her family, she often runs away from her home. Due to this reason, she and Suzume missed the first few days of school as they were very far away from home on the school opening day. She's Suzume's childhood friend. She's 164cm tall and her three sizes are 81-55-82. Her name contains a kanji of tiger (虎, tora?) and the first kanji letter of her name (上) can be pronounced as 'Ue' (West), thus revealing her name's relationship with White Tiger of the West (白虎).

Blood Type: AB Birthday: July 19, 1983 Age: 18-22 Favorite Manga: "Let's Go" Rai Junior High, Royalty in Motion Favorite Anime: None Favorite Game: The Game of Life Zodiac Sign: Cancer She is Kousaka's girlfriend. Fashionable, violent, confident, occasional smoker, and not at all attracted by the sexual charms of anime characters, Saki is not an otaku in any sense of the word. She follows Kousaka into Genshiken, and is eventually blackmailed by the first Genshiken chairman into joining the club. Surprisingly, Saki actually saves Genshiken from being shut down on two separate occasions, though her motives have more to do with revenge and guilt than becoming more of an otaku. Despite being vehemently against otaku activities such as wearing nekomimi (cat-ears) at the start of the series, Saki eventually becomes comfortable with the other club members to the point that she can be considered their close friend (aside from the possible exception of Kuchiki). Saki has a tendency to use nicknames. She calls Sasahara "Sasayan", Kugayama "Kugapii", and Ogiue "Ogichin" by nicknames, and even though she at first refuses to call Kuchiki by his self-appointed nickname ("Kucchi"), Saki starts using that nickname as well. In the spin-off series Spotted Flower (unknown if confirmed as canon), she is no longer in relationship with Kousaka. She is now married to Madarame and is pregnant with his child. In spite of this, it is assumed that everyone is still friends and stay in contact with each other. The story revolves around their married lives, especially with the pregnancy and otaku life affecting their sexual intimacy. (Source: Wikipedia)
