Well, after long deliberation with the Brahmin I've got myself an avatar.
It pictures Ranma, main character of the Ranma 1/2 manga and anime series created by Rumiko Takahashi.
Ranma is a highly skilled teenage martial artist, who is accidentally cursed while training in China with his father. Cold water transforms Ranma into a rather fetching female version of himself, and hot water reverses this. Shortly afterwards, Ranma's father, who himself transforms into a huge panda bear by the effect of the same curse introduces him to his old friend, Soün, and his three daughters, and asks to pick one for his wife.
A large amount of the stories are based on martial arts based combat (or where martial arts plays an important part), often with weird styles or in strange situations. Also, there are several girls interested in Ranma, and several guys interested in Ranma's fiancée, the beautiful and temperamental Akane.
