History Characters / KenichiTheMightiestDiscipleRyozanpakuDojo

* OlderThanTheyLook: He's estimated to at least be over 90 years old, but could pass for being in his early 40s! The fact that he has vibrant blond hair just like his grand-daughter makes him look even younger.

* LeotardOfPower: Technically a unitard rather than a leotard, but it still [[JustForPun fits.]] Justified since she does actually do gymnastics and it's her club uniform.

* {{Bokukko}}: She uses the masculine pronoun ''boku'' to refer to herself, which serves to contrast her with other female characters.

[[folder: Shio Sasaki]]

* TookALevelInBadass: Took hundreds. A few volumes, and he can drop his former tormentors. A few arcs, and he's accidentally hospitalizing them by the dozen. All thanks to the sheer fortitude to survive [[TrainingFromHell Ryozanpaku]]. To put things into perspective. At the start of the series he was terrified stiff of guys with small knives, or just guys who wanted to beat him up. Now he can even take on guys armed with huge swords and firearms. By the end of the series, he mastered Ki usage to its third and final level during his fight against Kajima.

* TransliterationTrouble: Many scanlations and the official Italian translation translate his family name as "Ba," because that's how it's pronounced in Japanese, but it's supposed to be pronounced the Chinese way.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She goes barefoot as [[spoiler: Bulu Indah.]]

* RatedMForManly: Very manly and boisterous.

* NotGoodWithPeople: She seems to get along better with her pet rat than with anyone else.

* AmazonianBeauty: Her musculature is more than a little inconsistent, now and again (like the cover of Volume 57), she's portrayed with a clear six-pack. Her attractiveness is definitely consistent though.

* BigOlEyebrows: Her eyebrows, like her grandfather's, are noticeably thicker than many other characters.

* SamuraiPonytail: She has long waist-length raven hair usually tied back in a high ponytail.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: His relationship with Miu goes through several not-quite-there swerves due to things like Miu's reluctance to admit to jealousy or Kenichi's (and [[BoyfriendBlockingDad Hayato's]]) idea of whether or not he's good enough for her. [[spoiler: Ultimately, TheyDo.]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Her relationship with Kenichi goes through several not-quite-there swerves due to things like Miu's reluctance to admit to jealousy or Kenichi's (and [[BoyfriendBlockingDad Hayato's]]) idea of whether or not he's good enough for her. [[spoiler: Ultimately, TheyDo.]]

->Voiced by: Creator/UnshoIshizuka (JP), Creator/ChristopherSabat (EN), Juan Carlos Tinoco (LA)

* AwesomeByAnalysis: He invented a martial technique specialized in this.

* HeroicBuild: Well over 6 feet tall, made of solid muscle, and doesn't look his actually age.

->Voiced by: Hiroshi Arikawa (JP, TV anime), Yuzuru Fujimoto (JP, OVA), Creator/RBruceElliott (EN), Jesse Conde (LA)

* WillTheyOrWontThey: His relationship with Miu goes through several not-quite-there swerves due to things like Miu's reluctance to admit to jealousy or Kenichi's (and [[OverProtectiveDad Hayato's]]) idea of whether or not he's good enough for her. [[spoiler: Ultimately, TheyDo.]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Her relationship with Kenichi goes through several not-quite-there swerves due to things like Miu's reluctance to admit to jealousy or Kenichi's (and [[OverProtectiveDad Hayato's]]) idea of whether or not he's good enough for her. [[spoiler: Ultimately, TheyDo.]]

%%* BigOlEyebrows

* OverprotectiveDad: More like ''selectively'' protective grandfather. Keeping Miu by his side as he travelled the world battling evil, fine. Sending her out to protect Kenichi, encouraged. But any prospective suitors (i.e. Kenichi) must defeat the Elder first.

%%%* AbsoluteCleavage:

* NiceHat: To cover up his bald spot.

* UpToEleven: The 100-dan karate master. Dan rankings don't go above 10 in karate or other Japanese martial arts. He's probably well aware of this, but nobody's brave enough to call him on it.

* MsFanservice: She is a beautiful young woman with a slender frame yet remarkably curvaceous-figure and well-endowed breasts who ends up with ClothingDamage in a majority of her actual fights. The {{Fanservice}} factor is UpToEleven in the middle and later chapters where she spend most of the time completely naked due to being captured and they don't want her using anything that she can utilize as a weapon.

* RapunzelHair: When she lets it down it comes down to her hips.

* TookALevelInBadass: Took hundreds. A few volumes, and he can drop his former tormentors. A few arcs, and he's accidentally hospitalizing them by the dozen. All thanks to the sheer fortitude to survive [[TrainingFromHell Ryozanpaku]]. To put things into perspective. At the start of the series he was terrified stiff of guys with small knives, or just guys who wanted to beat him up. Now he can even take on guys armed with huge swords and firearms.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Her habit of flipping people who touch her from behind (accidentally or not) often gives her grievances. Mostly when Kenichi is the one on the receiving end.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Doesn't wear shoes as [[spoiler: Bulu Indah.]]

%%* MartialPacifist

* BaldOfAwesome: He's lost his hair on the top of his head. Hence the NiceHat. Doesn't make him any less capable in combat.
