The Gambling King (博奕王キング Bakuchiō Kingu?) is a self proclaimed master of chance games. In reality he can only defeat young children and those with the intellect of an Elementary schooler (mostly through finding and using his opponent's tell). Ranma and Ukyo first met the Gambling King when they were children at a local fair. They decided to put a stop to his constant winning against the small children and decided they would beat him at his own game, but the pair end up losing Ukyo's Okonomiyaki and the deed to the Tendo Dojo. Years later, the King returns to claim his payment.
