Acchan wears a lot of J-pop fashion - athletic wear. Open and easy to move in. The designs are simple, but with his brother’s help, he makes his clothes his own.
Ryuuchan paints little designs on his clothes - some of which are inside jokes that not even Atsushi and Aku know.
Acchan likes it when no one knows what his designs mean, and he flaunts his custom sweater/shirt around.
He wears crocs. Unironically. He likes he can kick them off whenever to climb anything he wants. Everyone hates them, but they can’t handle it when he tries to go find them.
If he can get away with it, he’d wear clashing patterns.
He’s destructive to pants in specific- he goes through them quite a bit. Atsushi can’t get him to stop.
Ryuu-chan is very simple. He likes self-expression and to look smart. He tends to wear layers, and Acchan encourages colorful jackets for Rashomon. He gets told he dresses too old for his age; to his reply is ‘yuh.’
He likes it when his outfit’s pallets match. He will test color theory on some outfits, but rather they’d just match them.
He likes it when his jacket is darker than his shirt.
Though he makes designs for Acchan, he doesn’t really like wearing graphic tee/sweaters.

Haircuts:
Acchan watches a lot of TV - some of which are 80s TV. HE REALLY WANTED A MULLET. He kept telling everyone he was going to grow one, but Atsushi was insistent he didn’t. Aku stepped in to let him know that hair is important to a kid’s self esteem. Surrendering his rejection; Acchan is allowed to grow out his mullet. He doesn’t brush his hair, so he tends to look like he’s been electrocuted.
Ryuuchan grew his hair like Chuuya's [mostly to try it out]. Unlike his brother, he cares for his hair really well. He prefers to pull it back to keep it from getting in his mouth. His hair has never passed his shoulders, and he’s ok with that. [It grows too fast, so he gets major cuts periodically. It returns to the length after a few months.
Academics:
Acchan is either really good at school or fails hard. He has a natural understanding to patterns and repetition but if school requires critical thinking; he panics and answers like “fish” on a math test. If there is a formula to the school work - he will blossom. He’s also been asked to join sports groups because he is the fastest runner in his class. Atsushi encouraged it until Acchan played soccer and kicked the ball so hard with the tiger that he had to pull him from sports that required kicking or throwing. [Atsushi was mostly worried for other kids' safety]
Ryuu-chan is attached to creative classes, though he does really well in all his closes. He, however, gets stressed with the school starts to bring up university. He gets in his head and tends to over study and get exhausted on test day.
Personality:
Acchan is really sweet to everyone he comes across. He tends to come home late from school because he gets stopped to do a series of heavy labor requests for the neighbors. He’s also very hungry and asks for food for payment. He comes home with snacks everyday. He’s well spoken if he is interested in a particular subject but when him and his brother fights over hypotheticals - all intelligence leaves.
Ryuu-chan is pretty reserved - though not socially avoidant. He’s too polite [engrained bc of Atsushi] and tends to do everything everyone asks. Unlike his brother, Ryuu-chan gets asked to do complicated tasks. Old people also really like talking to him, and it often feels like they seek him out to talk to him. He tends to dip if his social battery gets too much.
Urusei Yatsura Week 2015 - Day 1: Favorite Character
Ryuunosuke Fujinami
I could literally write a book about how wonderful a character like Ryuunosuke is. It really irritates me when people tend to say she's the "original concept' that Takahashi got for Ranma 1/2 and, while that may be true, it completely diminishes the importance of her character. Ryuu hates men as she's been extremely affected by the strict upbringing of her father, who constantly pushes his idea of masculinity on her in order to erase her identity as a woman just so he can have a proper heir for taking over his tea shop, Hamajaya. Despite these bizarre circumstances, she strives to put a little femininity into her life as she has never truly had the chance to do so until she becomes friends with Lum and the gang. Ultimately, Ryuu-chan is the entire reason I even watched and read Urusei Yatsura. While I love the abundant female cast in the series, Ryuu-chan has always had a special place in my heart because she's strong and determined to live her life on her own terms.
