Washu is the mad scientist that created Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki. Washu is also my favorite Tenchi Muyo! character. Washu is not one to be messed with. She always seems to be ready for whatever happens to be in her way. Some of her inventions include: Mecha-Washu, Mecha-Ryoko, The Galaxy Destroyer, A door that can connect any two points within space, and a machine that can generate any space/time that you want. All this and they still had to buy a kareoke machine.
Washu is among the three goddess in the Tenchi Universe. She was also the most powerful. Why? Over 20,000 years ago, Washu's powers and memories were sealed away into three gems. This was why she created Ryoko. Ryoko is capable of using this sealed power this power if she has all three gems. During the process of creating Ryoko one of her assistants named Yakage, who was in charged of creating the perfect sword for Ryoko, stole some of the earliest cells and made his own Ryoko. Her name is Minagi and appears in the No Need For Tenchi manga. After the creation of Ryoko, Kagato trapped Washu within her own invention and used Ryoko to do his evil bidding.
Washu was trapped in a large crystal in the mirror dimension of Soja, Kagato's ship which was invented by Washu as well. Washu was released when Kagato came to earth to get Ryoko. Thinking that Tenchi died the girls go to avenge Tenchi and Mihoshi accidentally releases Washu.
Washu's lab is actually located on five separate planets. These planets are connected using interdimensional wormholes all connected to the main lab. The labs include a supercomputer lab, a biology lab, a lab for extracting "samples", a cybernetics core, and the main lab holds the shell created by Kagato for Tsunami.
She prefers the appearance of a 12 year old over the appearance of an adult, because when she was young (20,000 years ago) she had a child. But child was taken away from her because of the father's social status. Washu figured that if she looked like a child, such things wouldn't matter. At the end of OVA episode 8 Washu reverted to her true form and offered to have another child if it was Tenchi's. This offer made Aeka and Ryoko somewhat angry.
