somebody said that Takahashi-sensei was a bit influenced from Dragonball
with Ranma in the first place.. you know... a story about a very
successfull martial artist and such..

well it is a wild guess, but when Ranma came out (in Japan) Dragonball was
on its high of success (in Japan)

or am I very mistaken there...?

(could be possible, it is too late in the evening in this edge of the
world, and there is too much champagne involved here ;-)

p.s.: while I'm watching 'Mamono Hunta Yohko', did anyone notice that
Yohko's a 'Ranma nibun no itchi' Fan?
