Kasumi Tendo

Kasumi Tendo
How does a homemaker make it into the Top 20?

Well, the fact that she practically takes care of judges ranmaofdallas and Genma Saotome, a couple of freeloaders in her father's home, adds a lot of weight to the decision to place Kasumi Tendo in the Top 20. You do have to admit...she is more attractive than her youngest sister. Plus, there has to be something really attractive about her to make nearby neighborhood Doctor Tofu act goofy when he sees or hears from her.



Here is the analysis:

Stuart Scott explains:

"Although her mind is sometimes out there between North Dallas and Andromeda, Kasumi Tendo is probably one of the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet. SweetnessKasumi has many great qualities about her. She can cook very well. She keeps an exceptional home. She keeps her composure during all sorts of adversity, even though she has had to take on the duties of her late mother, and has had to take care of her father and two sisters, along with a couple of freeloading guests. (ranma and Genma - 'Hey! What the hell???') Some say Kasumi Tendo has some sort of martial arts ability, but this has yet to be proven. Now, Kasumi does have some sort of wicked attraction about her...attraction to the point where the neighborhood doctor goes totally nuts everytime he either sees her or talks to her on the phone. Now that's gotta be wicked attraction, when you can get a man totally off his game. So I guess with all she has to offer, even though a lot of it remains in the background, it is apparantly good enough to bring Kasumi Tendo to number 19."



Rich Eisen explains:

"Yes, Kasumi Tendo is sweet and attractive, but whatever martial arts ability she is rumored to have has not been confirmed, like Stu said. Hold on...this just in...Kasumi's in 'Dead or Alive'!Kasumi apparently does something else in her spare time. When she's not cooking, cleaning, or taking care of family and freeloaders (ranma and Genma - 'Rich! What the f#@&???'), she goes out and kicks a few people's butts! She has the moves of a ninja, yet still remains sweet and polite after a good ass-whoopin'. Gomen nasai...daijobu? or I'm sorry...are you all right? can be heard from Kasumi sometimes after she kicks your butt. We're not sure if it's a question of sarcasm, or a question of sincerity and concern, but it is pretty funny to hear, especially after a quick fight. Rumor has it that Xelloss Metallium tried to hit on Kasumi while he was visiting ranma and Genma, and ended up getting his ass kicked in the Tendo Dojo. ranma and Genma were heard to remark that there is no way either of them would mess with Kasumi. ranma did want to make sure she was included somewhere in the Top 20."
