<b>Soun</b> is the father of <b>Kasumi</b>, <b>Nabiki</b>, and <b>Akane</b>. He has raised them alone since the death of his wife many years ago.

<b<Soun</b> is somewhat over-emotional and cries often. He cares about the future of his children, and wishes the best for them, which consequently leads to him getting involved when his daughters wish he wouldn't. A good example of this would be he and <b>Genma</b> deciding to engage <b>Ranma</b> and <b>Akane</b> whether they liked it or not.

<b>Soun</b> is a very talented martial artist, but shows many of the same characteristics as <b>Genma</b>- laziness and especially cowardice. He was trained by <b>Happosai</b> alongside <b>Genma</b>, and the two have been close friends ever since. <b>Soun</b> has a deep respect for his future son-in-law, and knows he will make an excellent husband for his daughter. <b>Soun</b>'s primary goal seems to be getting his daughters married off so he can finally retire and have them take care of him.
