Ma Renka is Kensei's 17-year-old daughter who traveled to Japan to drag her father back home to China. She's fair-skinned with striking blue eyes and navy hair reaching her upper back, styled in an intricate braid with two strands framing each side of her face (giving off cat-ear vibes) and a single braid down the back like a tail. Chin-length bangs and sideburns complete the look. Like Miu, she has a notably curvaceous build and substantial chest.
Renka favors revealing Chinese dresses—sometimes pretty skimpy—that don't leave much to the imagination, suggesting she's not particularly modest. She wears a bell behind each ear, which becomes a minor running gag since Miu and Kisara both find the cat-like aesthetic endearing.
Initially dismissive of Kenichi, she quickly warmed up to him and developed what she'd vehemently deny is actual love. She and Miu constantly compete for his attention, though their rivalry is eased by Renka's catlike mannerisms, which Miu has a soft spot for. Kisara feels similarly thanks to the bells.
Renka's tomboyish and genuinely hostile toward strangers—she'll attack first and ask questions later, even coming after Kenichi when they first met because she figured him for a weakling. She has intense family loyalty (willing to kill her own uncle for shaming the Ma clan) and uses whatever means necessary to get what she wants, including forcing her father to return home. There's a recurring joke about her chasing anything that moves.
She's caring with friends and family but won't hesitate to be forceful if needed—though she'll immediately calm down if Kenichi asks her to. Around him specifically, she's flirty and competitive with Miu. Despite constantly being annoyed by her father's perverted streak and reminding him of his responsibilities, she loves him deeply. After visiting the dojo, she came to respect Kenichi's martial arts style and eventually started coaching him on developing his own technique.
