A decade ago, during a training excursion in the countryside, Genma absconded with Ukyo's father's okonomiyaki food cart, abandoning her and violating the agreement he had struck with her father. Prior to this incident, Ranma and Ukyo were friends, although Ranma remained unaware of her female identity. Humiliated and mocked by her classmates, Ukyo resolved to dislike boys, adopted male attire and lifestyle, and dedicated herself to okonomiyaki-based martial arts. Following an intense fight, Ranma uncovers her true gender. At the same time, she learns that he has a strained relationship with his fiancée, Akane, whom he considers "uncute." They make amends, and she rekindles her love for him. Ranma continues to regard her merely as an old friend, and her schemes to capture his heart are typically less violent than those of his other rivals. While she lives to cook okonomiyaki and operates a restaurant called "Ucchan's" for that purpose, Ukyo would sacrifice it all to marry Ranma.
