With NTV’s live-action adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's classic manga Ranma  ½  set to air on the 9th of December news has been slowly released regarding who has been cast as which character. Now Natalie Comic has collected images of the main characters including the eponymous Ranma, the gender switching martial artist.

Kento Kaku who starred in the recent live-action Paradise Kiss is confirmed as the male Ranma Saotome:

Casting seems fine... I have never been entirely convinced by Ranma, though.

Should be fun.

At first I groaned at this but now I'm sort of excited, in a casual way. Also, the news post reminds me I need to get the Paradise Kiss live action at some point in the future.
