Despite being a boy, Tsubasa looks and dresses as a girl, making everyone believe that is a real girl. However, he still likes other girls and looks for them. One of this girls was Ukyo Kuonji, that despite appearing to be a boy, he actually knew that Ukyo is a girl. Tsubasa began to sent her gifts and love letters, even despite Ukyo saying him clearly that she is not in love with him. To stop Tsubasa, Ukyo revealed him that she is engaged with Ranma Saotome and show him a photo of her female appearance. This led Tsubasa to search for Ranma to get her out of his way.

Tsubasa, jealous, sent a challenge letter to Ranma, who was unaware of this, and suddenly he is attacked by Tsubasa, but Ranma beats him easily. Later Ukyo explains everything to Ranma and Akane while they confronts Tsubasa again, Akane shows him that Ukyo is a girl but Tsubasa tells that he is actually aware to this, then Tsubasa declares war to Ranma insulting her as "butt ugly". At the next day, Tsubasa sets up a challenge of Okonomiyaki selling to see who is the cutest girl. Tsubasa sells almost all the okonomiyaki while nobody sold it to Ranma. Then Ranma gets her comeback with a bunny suit and ties the challeng just before Akane stops him. Tsubasa then declares himself the winner just before Ukyo appears to buy the last okonimiyaki, Tsubasa then realizes that Ukyo have no feelings for him and leaves sadly. Ranma follows Tsubasa to console him and tells that she is cute to find another girlfriend. This causes Tsubasa to fall in love with Ranma and begins to harass her as how he did with Ukyo. Ranma decides to date him to finish with this, but he appears in the male form to make Tsubasa to like boys, then Ranma falls knocked to a fountain, changing to the female form, causing Tsubasa to help her, Ranma tells him that she wants hot water and Tsubasa carries him to the bathroom of the Tendo Dojo.
