■ Product Features
The youngest daughter of the Tendo house and practitioner of the Musabetsu Kakuto Tendo Ryu (“Anything-Goes Tendo School”), Akane joins the S.H.Figuarts lineup!
Akane is a beautiful, strong-minded girl and a capable martial artist, who is very popular among the boys of Furinkan High. With this figure, you can recreate a wide range of poses from sweet to angry, and she also comes with her trademark accessories, such as her schoolbag, the huge hammer, and P-chan, the cute little black piglet, who is actually Ranma’s old rival, Ryoga Hibiki in his cursed form.
Akane is the fourth figure in the S.H.Figuarts Ranma ½ series, the first three being Ranma Saotome (female, released in January 2016), Shampoo (June 2016), and Ranma Saotome in his male form (August 2016).

■ About Ranma ½
*Ranma ½* is a crazy martial arts love comedy by Rumiko Takahashi that centers around the interactions between Ranma Saotome, a high-school student and skilled martial artist who turns into a girl upon contact with cold water, and his fiancée Akane Tendo. They get off to a bumpy start and it doesn’t help that something, be it an old rival or a different challenge, always disturbs the “harmony”... Ranma ½ was also adapted into an anime series with the same title in 1989.
■ About the S.H.Figuarts Series
