I've seen him.
Don't know what Ataru drinks...

Ataru definitely drinks

My question was whether or not he drinks coffee, notif he drinks.
Obviously, he must drink something...

   "I don't know," said Kyosuke, sounding doubtful.  Actually, he
didn't feel like getting into any embarrasing situations, possibly

involving girls, that would get Madoka upset.  The last thing he
needed now was an upset Ayukawa.

Again, be consistent with the family/given names.It might confuse
readers.

Problem is, it's difficult to be consistent with those two, given
that Kasuga does call her Ayukawa and think of her as Madoka. And
Madoka does the same.  It's one of the most transparent indicators
that they are in love to an impartial observer.

But in this particular case..."...that would get Madoka upset."
<-Kyosuke thinking to himself.
"...he needed now was an upset Ayukawa." <-also thinking to himself.

Both lines are Kyosuke evaluating Ayukawa's emotional response
to his presense at a nightclub.

Similar for Washu, just because she's a "super-genius",
she doesn't necessarily know how to bowl.

Certainly she isn't going to know how to bowl better than
Ranma just because she's smarter than Ranma.  However,
bowling is a pretty obvious game.  Washu could easily be
familiar with a similar alien game in her 20,000 years of
history.  Urd also has had a good thousand years or more
to pick up the game if she felt like it.

With regard to Washu, being smarter does not mean shespent anytime with
something as frivolous as bowling.
Now I'll grant you that she can calculate the *exact*
position, necessary velocity, placement, stance, and
delivery style to knock down strikes and every mathematically
possible spare.  That still doesn't mean she can physically
put the ball on the right spot (anyone who's bowled
can tell you that's not a trival exercise).

Also, I'd mention that Kyosuke himself is not
beyond a little cheating when being shown up
too hard (in tennis, skiing, boat rowing and
other events in the past in the real KOR).

Is true.  Wouldn't even be unfair given that he
knows that the girls have powers.  However, he
might be leery of letting Washu see what he can
do.  (Of course, that could be a good reason to
have him do it.)  However, Kyosuke is usually
tempted when the girlfriends are watching.

Well, he's got to know about their powers by now.
He's been pulled through TVs by Urd, and mostly
likely seen Washu and her interdimensional port by now.
