Shampoo is a 16 year old, Chinese Amazon from the village of Joketsuzoku near Jusenkyo. Shampoo first met Ranma when he (at the time a girl) and Genma ate a large feast which was intended for Shampoo. Ranma then quickly beat Shampoo in order to win the first prize meal. At this point Shampoo was very angry about her lose and gave Ranma the "Kiss of Death," a promise to track him to the ends of the Earth until she could kill him.
When she finally found Ranma he was living in the Tendo Dojo. Not realizing that male and female Ranma were actually the same person, she fell in love with Ranma's male side. After he was able to defeat her, she gave him the "Kiss of Death," which when given to a member of the opposite sex, means that they are now engaged.
Another unique aspect of Shampoo is the way she speaks. Because she lived in China most of her life, her Japanese is very poor. In fact, during Shampoo's first few appearances she spoke only in Chinese. By her next visit, she had also fallen into Jusenkyo and was now cursed by changing into a cat when splashed with cold water.
