Profile: Yobei is a rich man who owns a mansion on a remote island that's shaped like a heron. He's looking for a certain girl who fits the footprint mark on his head.
When Onna-Ranma happens to end up on the island after being knocked into the ocean by Genma, she wakes up in Yobei's mansion. Of all the girls at the mansion who try to fit their foot into the mark on Yobei's head, only Onna-Ranma's fits.
Later Yobei explains how he got the mark - he had been about to eat a lavish and extravagant meal when someone jumped on his head, ate everything in sight, and left, with the only clue to the perpetrator's appearance the fact that they were a girl and that they had a pigtail. Onna-Ranma realizes it was really her, and, feeling guilty, decides to help Yobei with his hot spring, which he says has been blocked with a large boulder. Onna-Ranma easily breaks the boulder, turns into a guy due to the hot water, and leaves after exaplining to a surprised Yobei about his curse.
Personality: Yobei seems to be a kind man with the desire to find out what happened to him on the day his mealwas totally devoured. He's been having trouble with his hot spring and is thankful to Ranma when she finally solves his problem.
