The 16-year old sister of <b>Tatewaki Kuno</b>, <b>Kodachi</b> attends an all-girls school. She falls in love with <b>Ranma</b> after he saved her from falling from the Tendo dojo roof, after a failed attack to cripple <b>Akane</b> before the Rhythmic Gymnastics competition between Furinkan and St. Hebereke.

<b>Kodachi</b> is perhaps the least-understood character. She'll willingly cheat and lie to get her way, which is to marry <b>Ranma</b>. She knows <b>Ranma</b> doesn't love her, but believes she can convince him to marry her. Some say her philosophy is "all is fair in love and war," but I think it's really: "If you want something, go get it. It's not going to come to you, after all."

As the most lively character in the series, she sure does scare a lot of people, some to the point of thinking her insane. And I have to point out that <b>Kodachi</b> is no more insane than any of the other characters; she's just obsessive in her own way. Like her brother, she is blinded by her love for <b>Ranma</b>.

Her plans are far-reaching and well-planned; in one case <b>Kodachi</b> tried to get revenge against her brother for destroying a poster of <b>Ranma</b> by distributing doctored photos of female <b>Ranma</b> around Furinkan. The photos, by the way, were very suggestive, much to <b>Ranma</b>'s dismay, and much to <b>Kuno</b>'s delight. How was this getting revenge, you ask? All of <b>Kuno</b>'s time was spent chasing after the photos that <b>Kodachi</b> managed to steal his photo album of the pig-tailed girl. :)

She keeps strange pets at her home, particularly Midorigame, her pet alligator. (btw, the name literally translates as "Green Turtle" :)
