Do the master of The Ryozanpaku Dojo resemble certain stereotypical
descriptions? If they do, which stereotypical appearance would this be?

Do the master of The Ryozanpaku Dojo resemble certain stereotypical descriptions?


Stereotypical might not be the correct word to describe the masters, however,
they all do have common personalities compared to the millions of fighting
mangas out there. I think it would be better to explain it as no one master
has a truly unique personality that doesn't exist in other series.

Here are some of their following cliche personalities:

Kensei Ma (Kung Fu) - Perverted, Passive  
Apachai Hopachai (Muy Thai) - Brainless brawn, yet soft on the inside  
Shio Sakaki (Karate) - Boastful, tough, brawler  
Koetsuji Akisame (Judo) - Cool, calm, collected tactician  
Shigure Kosaka (Weapons expert) - Quiet, deadly, mysterious  
Hayato Furinji (Furinji style) - Superman

As you can see, their personalities are quite common in other characters from
other series. There is nothing personality-wise that makes these characters
one of a kind.

Extra side note: Contrary to how the manga describes Akisame's style as
Jujutsu, realistically it is Judo. Sakaki's style is also technically Karate-
do as opposed to Karate-jutsu.

You're probably better off looking over [this TV Tropes
page](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple)
as there's a lot of common stereotypes/tropes that these characters are tied
to.

Kenichi is kind of a gag show on top of shounen fighting so it's so chock full
of stereotypes that it's hard to list them all.
