"Anyone who threatens the engagement of Ranma and Akane is looking to get hurt! Don't think me weak!"

Style: Anything-Goes Martial Arts (Tendo school)

Strengths: Soun hasn't really been in action fighting-wise enough to assess his strengths. However, from what has been seen, he is a fairly skillful martial artist who has taught Akane how to fight. His skill level probably is the same as Genma's, although lack of practice may have made him a bit rusty. Soun also seems to work well in teams, and fights well in concert with other people.

Weaknesses: Soun is a very emotional person - this could take away from his fighting. Like Genma, he is somewhat of a coward who won't face danger head on.

Special Techniques:

Super Secret Ninja Tricks (Anime Only): See entry under Genma Saotome.

Big Head: Not really an offensive technique, more of a way to threaten people. Soun causes his head to look huge and demon-like to scare people.
