Ataru is the best male martial artist in Urusei Yatsura, except perhaps
for Ryuu's father.

Shu-chan practices rigorously with the sword and still can't beat Ataru
with it.

One of the comedic factors about Ataru is his ninja training, because
Rumiko thinks that ninja are clowns.

The difference between Ranma and Ataru is that Ataru would never use
violence against a woman.  (Ataru has been spotted fence-walking, but only
when pursued by two girlfriends...)
