Gambling King is a self-proclaimed "King of Gambling" who tricks kids out of their pocket money with sneaky card tricks.
He looks a lot like the King card from a deck of playing cards.
His Tricks and First Victims
He used a cheating game to take away Ukyo Kuonji's food stand when she was just a child.
When Ranma Saotome tried to help Ukyo by challenging Gambling King, he lost too.
Gambling King made Ranma write a paper, giving away the Tendou Dojo as a bet, even though Ranma didn’t really understand what was happening.
Turning the Dojo Into a Gambling Spot
Much later, Gambling King returns with the proof that he owns the dojo.
He turns the Tendou Dojo into his own gambling hall, decorating and changing everything.
He acts like the place really belongs to him now!
Other Appearances and Games
In the OVA, he uses the full name "King Salmon."
He also appears as a playable character in the Super Famicom game "Bakuretsu Rantou Hen."
Gambling King’s unique look and sneaky ways make him one of the most memorable side characters from Ranma ½!
