Ranma Saotome






Ranma, the only son of Genma and Nodoka Saotome, was taken from his home by his father when approximately 2 years old, to begin a 13-14-year training trip to perfect his skills in the martial arts.

While he was still a child, he befriended Ukyo Kuonji, the daughter of a travelling okonomiyaki chef and martial artist, although he was unaware that she was a girl. Genma engaged Ranma to Ukyo in exchange for her father's food cart, but he abandoned Ukyo and ran off with the cart without ever telling Ranma about the engagement or correcting him about Ukyo's real gender.

Later, near the end of the trip, Genma took Ranma to a training ground in China named Jusenkyo that few people used, due to the springs being cursed. Falling into them would transform a person into whatever first fell in. Not knowing this, and not having the patience to listen to a warning from the local guide, Genma attempted to train with Ranma atop the bamboo poles which jutted up out of the pools. When Ranma knocked Genma into Shonmaoniichuan/"Spring of 'Drowned' Panda", he was surprised to watch a panda emerge from the pond and leap onto one of the poles. Genma, now cursed, was able to hit a surprised Ranma into Nyannichuan (Niángníquán), or the "Spring of 'Drowned' Girl". Thus he turns into a female version of his original form when splashed with cold water, which is only (temporarily) reversible through contact with hot water.

Princess Mononoke Cartoon




Princess Mononoke
Princess Mononoke (,Mononoke-hime?) is a 1997 Japanese animated historical fantasy feature film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. It was first released in Japan on July 12, 1997 and in the United States on October 29, 1999 in select cities and on November 26, 1999 in Canada.

It is a jidaigeki (period drama) set specifically in the late Muromachi period of Japan but with numerous fantasy elements and centers on the struggle between the supernatural guardians of a forest and the humans who consume its resources as seen by the outsider Ashitaka. "Mononoke" (物の怪 ?) is not a name, but a general term in the Japanese language for a spirit or monster.

Roger Ebert placed the movie sixth on his top ten movies of 1999. Mononoke also became the highest grossing movie in Japan until Titanic took over the spot several months later. Overall, Mononoke is the third highest grossing anime movie in Japan,[citation needed] next to 2001's Spirited Away and 2004's Howl's Moving Castle, both also by Miyazaki.

Pokémon (anime) Wallpaper
Pokémon abbreviated from Pocket Monsters (Poketto Monsutā?), is an ongoing Japanese animated series, which has since been adapted for the North American and European television market. It is somewhat based on the Pokémon video game series and a part of the Pokémon franchise.

Originally a single series, Pokémon, it has since been made into three series, including Pokémon: Advanced Generation and subsequently Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, which continue the story of Pokémon, while its spin-off Pokémon Chronicles or, as it is known in Japan, Pokémon Sunday (formerly Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku) is a series of stories revolving around some of the recurring characters.

Pokémon LeafGreen



Pokémon LeafGreen
Pokémon FireRed (Poketto Monsutā Faiareddo?, Pocket Monsters Firered) and Pokémon LeafGreen (,Poketto Monsutā Rīfugurīn?, Pocket Monsters Leafgreen), are enhanced remakes of the original Pocket Monsters Red and Pocket Monsters Green video games, the latter of which was released exclusively in Japan. They were developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console, and were the first titles compatible with the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter which was bundled with the games. They were first released in Japan in January 2004 and released to North America and Europe in September and October respectively. Players could obtain the game early at the Pokémon Center New York on August 28, 2004, as part of a special pre-release event for players who pre-ordered the game. These two games, along with Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald form the third generation of the Pokémon video game series, also known as the "advanced generation".

Being an enhanced remake of the first generation of games, FireRed and LeafGreen feature the first 151 Pokémon from the original Game Boy games, along with many others from later games in the series. This feature allows many of these Pokémon to be obtained for the first time in the newer games, as the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games are incompatible with the Game Boy Advance games. The upgraded games are once again set in the fantasy world of Kanto and follow the progress of the central character, Red or Green in his or her quest to master Pokémon battling. Both games are independent of each other but feature largely the same plot and, while both can be played separately, it is necessary to trade between the games and the other advanced generation titles in order to fully complete the games' Pokédexes. There was a trademark filed for "Pokemon WaterBlue version" suggesting that LeafGreen may have not have been intended to be available worldwide, but for some reason "Pokemon WaterBlue" never came into development.

Pokemon Cartoon Wallpaper
Pokémon (Pokemon?, IPA: /ˈpoʊkeɪmɒn, ˈpɒkimɒn/) is a media franchise owned by the video game company Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri around 1995. Originally released as a pair of interlinkable Game Boy role-playing video games, Pokémon has since become the second most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's own Mario series. Pokémon properties have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary on February 27, 2006, and as of 23 April 2008 (2008 -04-23)[update], cumulative sales of the video games (including home console versions, such as the "Pikachu" Nintendo 64) have reached more than 186 million copies.

The name Pokémon is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand, "Pocket Monsters" (Poketto Monsutā?), as such contractions are very common in Japan. The term "Pokémon", in addition to referring to the Pokémon franchise itself, also collectively refers to the 493 fictional species that have made appearances in Pokémon media as of the recent release of the newest Pokémon role-playing games (RPGs) for the Nintendo DS, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Like the words deer and sheep, the word "Pokémon" is identical in both the singular and plural, as is each individual species name; in short, it is grammatically correct to say both "one Pokémon" and "many Pokémon". In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pokémon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the Pokémon representation agreement. Pokémon USA Inc., a subsidiary of Japan's Pokémon Co., now oversees all Pokémon licensing outside of Asia.
