Yuka & Sayuri

Sayuri (dark brown hair often tied into a ponytail) and Yuka (light brown hair) are Akane's closests female friends. It can be said that they are Akane's version of Daisuke and Hiroshi, with the exception that they don't seem to be jealous of Akane as Daisuke and Hiroshi often seem to be of Ranma.

They are always around to help cheer Akane up and give her support and often to help underscore Akane's feelings towards Ranma (usually negative feelings).

They have fairly small parts in the anime, and even smaller parts in the manga. Their screen time pales in comparison with their counterparts Daisuke and Hiroshi.
