It began with the Neko-ken, but then I suppose it always does in one way or another. His father Genma (or the poster boy for idiots) had been quite unhappy with Ranma not having learned the technique by the 4th time Ranma had been thrown screaming back into the pit of cats, and so in one of his moments of brilliance (stupidity actually) he had decided to wrap the majority of what little fish product (sardines) he still had around Ranma's face. This he believed would inspire the boy to learn faster and face the cats face to face.
Like most of Genma's plan's however this did not prove to be such a good idea. By the time he had removed his boy from the pit the large majority of his head, both front and back had been decimated. Most of his hair and large portions of the underlying scalp had been ripped away, the front of his face had large fang and claw marks in it, but the worst were his lips and nose. For they, for the most part were completly gone. Not just little parts missing like a small section or a half, but gone. The only bright spot was that His eyes seemed to have taken no damage.
Now a normal father might have sent for a doctor, called for help, stopped the bleading, or even thought of his sons future, not Genma Saoatome. He believed his son had falied him and was a pathetic excuse for a martial artist. This was quickly followed by now the schools shall never be joined and how his plans for retirement had just gone up in smoke, and finally (though it took 10 minutes for him to figure this out) he thought of the man amoung men contract and how his wife would react to the new Ranma. But then in anothe flash of brilliance (or stupidity, you be the judge) he decided that if this Ranma could not be the man amoung men that he wanted (never mind that he had caused it) than he would just have to steal a new Ranma.
Then came the final blow. His father, the one he had worked so long and so hard for while he was down on the ground in pain and in mortal danger of dying from his already considerable injuries kicked him, began rant how he had falied him, how he was no martial artist just a ugly freak now, spit on him, disowned him while telling him to get out of his sight, and left him to bleed to death.
