Mr. Kleppe. I have the memorial book to ranma 1/2 and anyone else who
has it has the chinese characters for shampoo mousse, and just about
everyone elses name.
Chinese characters, or Japanese? I'll have to see if I can order this
book. Thanks!

I have a somewhat similar muse reguarding Chinese. How would you
pronounce the kanji's that spell out special attacks?

ka-chu-ten-shin-ama-guri-ken
fire-in-sky-(something)-sweet-chestnut-fist
How ould this be romanised if some were using the chinese pronuciations?
These are not the kunyobi readings after all...

Are you asking how to translate these into Chinese? Perhaps someone on
the list who is fluent in Chinese could answer this better than I could.
