"You think you can defeat Shampoo? Think again, stupid. You going to lose!"

Style: Joketsuzoku (Chinese Amazon Style) Fighting

Strengths: Shampoo is obviously very skilled. After all, she was trained by one of the best, her great-grandmother Cologne. Shampoo has only suffered defeats in one-on-one combat to Ranma, or to very powerful opponents. A very quick fighter, and yet fairly strong, Shampoo uses all of the techniques taught to her and takes advantage of an opponent's weakness or slowness quite quickly. She can also attack and defend with equal efficiency. Shampoo's strength is also high enough such that she is able to crash through walls and other strong substances without suffering injury.

Weaknesses: Of course, Shampoo's first weakness is her Jusenkyo curse, as she, like Ryouga, can't really fight in her cursed form. Also, Shampoo can be distracted by Ranma. She can also sometimes underestimate her opponents and begin to fight carelessly. Shampoo's low ability to improvise or learn new techniques may hurt her overall ability to perform at the level of some other, more technique-oriented martial artists.

Special Techniques:

Aside from being able to wield Bonbori, two sticks with large heavy balls attached to the ends, and various swords and Amazonian weapons, Shampoo possesses these techniques:

Xi Fang Xiao (Memory Loss Shiatsu Technique): Shampoo employed this technique on Akane once, to try and get her to forget Ranma. The technique involves blending special Chinese herbal shampoo with the pressing of pressure points on the head to manipulate memory. Akane, as a result, remembered everything but Ranma, and Ranma had to find an antidote.

Delivery Box Blowout (NOTE: Only seen in Manga): Shampoo somehow strikes the outside of a delivery container such that the food inside is ruined. She used this technique in a delivery race, where destroying the food meant disqualifying whoever had his/her food destroyed.

Ramen Suffocator (NOTE: Only seen in Manga): Shampoo used this technique to try and gain the upper hand in a delivery contest. It involves wrapping the opponent's head completely in cooked ramen, cutting off their oxygen supply. The only way out is to eat the noodles.

Remote Control Acupuncture: Shampoo uses her knowledge of pressure points to hit the sides of an opponent's head, causing them to fall unconscious. When he victim wakes, they are compelled to do whatever Shampoo wishes, essentially making them into a puppet for a temporary amount of time. Shampoo used this on Akane to attempt to get her magic soap back from Ryouga.
