He's annoying too, but I love the part when Shigorai put his finger to that one spot and he fainted. :D Fav. Part right their. Lol

What part was that?
Spoiler Alert:When Yuki goes off to college at the very end of the series and he offers his gf (Machi Kuragi) his dorm room keys and she says "why would I need thous?" so he says "fine" and throws them out the window. She jumps out the window and says "what's wrong with you!?"
lol I laughed sooo hard :p
Ok...
Ok then.
Ritsu Sohma
Ritsu Sohma (草摩 利津 Sōma Ritsu) is the Monkey of the Zodiac. Extremely apologetic, he takes after his mother, the hostess of the Sohma family's onsen, whose position he is in training to take over. Most Sohmas call him "Ri-chan" and, to Shigure's amusement, Tohru calls him "Ri-chan-san" (see Japanese honorifics). He debuts in Chapter 45. He cross-dresses to ease his nerves.
Because of his anxiety, Ritsu dresses as a female, as cross-dressing helps him calm his nerves. He has blondish-brown hair, and is almost always seen in a kimono. Tohru innocently mistakes him for a woman the first time they meet because of his feminine looks. He cuts his hair short in the final volume and slowly starts to dress like a male.
He is depicted as a beautiful but unstable young man with very low self-esteem and a tendency to overreact to everything. He apologizes frantically for everything, even for things that are not his fault. As Momiji said, he may act hysterically if he panics, but has a kind heart.
History:
During his childhood, his parents apologized for everything, even if it wasn't their fault, just like Ritsu. Feeling useless to his parents, he decided to dress like a girl to feel more comfortable at home and around his parents, but that just made them apologize even more. The parents suffer from anxiety, and because of family genetics, Ritsu has inherited it from his parents.
Curse Broken:
When Ritsu's curse broke (the spirit of the monkey left him), he dropped a plate, or vase, containing water and flowers. His mother was alarmed as he started crying.
Ritsu tells Kagura, while giving her one of his women's kimonos, that he has asked Mitsuru on a date (in at least one English version, Ritsu almost tears a kimono in half after Kagura asks he'll marry Mitsuru). It's not stated clearly what Ritsu did later in life. It is said that he did went to learn from his mother on how to take over her onsen.
Relationships:
Mitsuru
When the two meet, they realize they have a common personality. In a bonus story in the first fan book, he and Mitchan are a couple.
Monkey of the Zodiac:
Ritsu is the year of the Monkey. Being cursed by the monkey spirit, Ritsu is blessed with a extremely agile body, able to climb to high grounds easily. He is also blessed with a highly reflex body, able to react fast enough to stop himself from falling off Shigure's house's roof.
