The manga and anime series Tokyo Mew Mew features a cast of characters designed by Mia Ikumi. The series is set in Tokyo, Japan, where five adolescent girls, called Mew Mews, are infused with the DNA of endangered species in order to combat aliens attempting to take over the Earth. The manga series is followed by a short sequel series, Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode, in which a new Mew Mew and a new threat are introduced.

The Mew Mews' transformations change their appearances and allow them to use special powers. The group is lead by the main character, Ichigo Momomiya, whose first task is to gather the other four Mew Mews: Mint Aizawa, Lettuce Midorikawa, Pudding Fong, and Zakuro Fujiwara. Their primary opponents are three aliens, Kish, Pie, and Tart, who use alien parasites called chimera animas to change animals into monsters. The aliens were originally from Earth, but were forced to leave by environmental changes. They have returned to kill all of the humans, who they feel are destroying their planet, and to pave the way for their fellow aliens to return. The aliens are led by the powerful Deep Blue, who returned to the planet long before the others and lies asleep inside a boy, Masaya Aoyama, who is initially Ichigo's crush and later boyfriend. In a la Mode, middle school student Berry Shirayuki becomes the sixth Mew Mew and, in the absence of Ichigo, the temporary leader of the Mew Mews. Along with the other Mew Mews, she battles the Saint Rose Crusaders. Led by Duke, Royal Highness, Happy Child, Blue Bayou and Sweet Juliet, the Saint Rose Crusaders a group of human teenagers with various psychic abilities who wish to turn the world into their own utopia. They use chimera animas to aid this goal, and make several attempts to kill Berry before the Tokyo populace against the Mew Mews.

Creation and conception

Mia Ikumi spent a year designing the Tokyo Mew Mew manga before the release of the first volume in February 2001.[1] The story she originally presented to her editors, Tokyo Black Cat Girl, was intended to be a horror story and featured a heroine named Princess Azumi. An intergalactic police officer named Masha gave her the ability to transform into a cat-girl and asked her to aid him in defeating alien invaders called the Baku.[2] The production team decided to focus on five female superheroes and asked Ikumi to reconstruct the lead character. The darker Princess Azumi was changed into the brighter and more colorful Ichigo. Ikumi notes that initially had reservations about the changes, as the character was originally designed for a more dramatic series.[3]

While coming up with designs for the four other Mew Mews, Ikumi created other girl-animal combinations. In her notes, she says one of her favorites was a mouse girl which would have had the same green coloring as Lettuce, but a personality similar to a character from another unnamed manga series. As the choices were narrowed down, however, the mouse design was one of several designs rejected for the series.[3] With the main Mew Mew team designs determined, Ikumi named them after various foods: Ichigo (Strawberry), Mint, Lettuce, Pudding, and Zakuro (Pomegranate). During one of the project meetings, an editor felt the names might be hard to remember and suggested colors for the names instead, but the food names were eventually kept.[4] In determining the attack names, Ikumi initially suggested Ichigo's main attack of "Strawberry Bell Bell" as a joke, but the editorial team thought it was funny, so the name was kept. She notes that future attack names were basically chosen by which sounded funniest.[5] Masha is the only character from Ikumi's Tokyo Black Cat Girl to retain his original name and general appearance, though his gender was changed to female for Tokyo Mew Mew.[6]

In the anime adaptation, the character designs were adapted from Ikumi's original artwork by Mari Kitayama. Ikumi expressed approval of the character designs, and the voice actor selections.[7]

Mew Mews

The Mew Mews are young girls who have been injected with the genes of endangered species, giving them the ability to transform into a Mew Mew. Endangered species were chosen because it was felt that they had the strongest desire to preserve their kind. The superheroes are biological weapons tasked with fighting the chimera anima, the monsters created when alien parasites infect a living host. They also are called on to fight the aliens that later appear and are the source of the chimera anima invasion. The creation of the first five Mew Mews occurred accidentally, with Ryou originally intending to inject a chimera anima with the endangered animal genes directly, to see if they could reverse the affects of the infection.[8]

The Mew Project itself, however, started five years before the time when Tokyo Mew Mew is set. It was started by Dr. Shirogane, the father of Ryou Shirogane. In the manga, it is never fully explained why the project was started or how they knew about chimera animas and the aliens. Dr. Shirogane does mention that they must learn how to inject animal genes into human DNA in order to fight the aliens.[9] In the anime, it is said that Dr. Shirogane discovered the fossilized remains of an ancient civilization, called the Chimera, during an archaeological dig. He began researching the race of people who lived there, with his assistant Keiichiro Akasaka, in a laboratory based at his home. This would eventually become the Mew Project.[10] When Ryou was 10 years old, a laboratory explosion killed Dr. Shirogane, and his wife, leaving Ryou orphaned. He moved to Japan, with Keiichiro to continue the Mew Project.[9] In the anime, the lab explosion was caused by a Chimera fossil that Dr. Shirogane had found waking up and setting the house on fire.[10]

In the main Tokyo Mew Mew, there are five Mew Mews: Ichigo Momomiya, Mint Aizawa, Lettuce Midorikawa, Pudding Fong, and Zakuro Fujiwara.[8][11] Each Mew Mew has a "mew mark" left on their bodies after the injection of the genetic material which identifies them as being a Mew Mew.[8] When transformed, each girl has powers related to their animal DNA, and they can combine their powers to boost Mew Ichigo's power. The group were originally just called the Mew Mews, until they accidentally were caught on live television broadcast while fighting chimera anima. With reporters asking who they were, Mew Ichigo introduced the group to the viewers as "Tokyo Mew Mew", which became the name the public would call them thereafter.[11] As part of being a Mew Mew, the girls work as waitresses at the Cafe Mew Mew, their headquarters, where they can also gather information from customers on chimera anima activity.[8] In Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode Ichigo moves to England, leaving the Mew Mews without a leader. A sixth Mew Mew, Berry Shirayuki, is created to fill her shoes, and becomes the first Mew Mew to be fused with the DNA of two animals instead of one.[12][13]

Ichigo Momomiya

Ichigo Momomiya (桃宮　いちご, Momomiya Ichigo) is the series' main protagonist and the leader of the Mew Mews. Ichigo is merged with the DNA of the Iriomote Cat, giving her the ability to transform into Mew Ichigo, a powerful heroic cat girl. The transformation also causes her to exhibit various feline mannerisms in her human form.[8] As Ichigo's power increases, the cat DNA inside her grows stronger, causing her Mew Ichigo cat ears and tail to appear when she is excited. Eventually it grows strong enough to turn her into a small black cat; to change back, she must be kissed by someone—human or animal.[14][15][16]

At the start of the series, Ichigo has a crush on Masaya Aoyama, but she believes he is oblivious to her feelings, he later returns them and they begin dating.[8] A mysterious protected named the Blue Knight appears midway through the series as her protector, who is later revealed to be Masaya.[17] Throughout the series, the alien Kish makes repeated advances towards Ichigo, which Ichigo repeatedly rejects.[8][11][18] In the final battle with Deep Blue, revealed to also be Masaya, Kish dies trying to protect Ichigo. Though she can not accept his final declaration of love, she cries over his death and holds him as he dies.[19] After Masaya kills himself and Deep Blue, Ichigo saves him by transferring her own life force into him, killing herself. The mew aqua in Masaya's body is able to revive her.[19][20] At the end of the series, the other Mew Mews hold a mock wedding for Ichigo and Masaya before Masaya goes off to study abroad in England.[20] In Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode, it is revealed that Ichigo decided to join Masaya in England having lost all of her Mew Power. When they begin to manifest again, she returns to Japan aid in the battle against the Saint Rose Crusaders.[21] In the anime adaptation, her voice actress is Saki Nakajima. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation her name is changed to Zoey Hanson and she is voiced by Amanda Brown.[22]

Mint Aizawa

Mint Aizawa (藍沢 みんと, Aizawa Minto) is the second Mew Mew to be introduced in the series. Infused with the genes of an Ultramarine Lorikeet, Mint grows a pair of bird wings on her back and a bird's tail when she transforms into Mew Mint.[8] Initially depicted as spoiled, snobbish, and self-centered because of her wealth, as the series progresses she is shown to be a very empathetic person who cares deeply about her friends. Mint idolizes fellow Mew Mew, Zakuro Fujiwara.[8][11] In the anime adaptation, the first meeting of the future Mew Mews is removed, so the circumstances of Mint's first appearance are slightly modified.[23] Mint's anime depiction is voiced by Yumi Kakazu. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation her name is changed to Corina Bucksworth and she is voiced by Andi Whaley.[24]

Lettuce Midorikawa

Lettuce Midorikawa (碧川 れたす, Midorikawa Retasu) is the third member of the Mews Mews formally introduced to the readers. Infused with the DNA of a Finless Porpoise, Lettuce's legs can change into a porpoise's tail while she is underwater, greatly improving her swimming ability.[25] Lettuce is portrayed as a very shy character lacking in self-confidence and the subject of frequent bullying. She is afraid of her Mew Mew powers at first, causing them to go out of control until she is calmed by Ichigo and Mint.[8] Other characters in the series consider Lettuce to be a kind and selfless person.[8][25] As Lettuce spends more times with her fellow Mew Mews, their regular encouragement helps her to become a more confident person.[9] In the anime series, her voice actress is Kumi Sakuma. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation her name is changed to Bridget Verdant and she is voiced by Bella Hudson.[26]

Pudding Fong

Pudding Fong (黄 歩鈴, Fon Purin) is the fourth Mew Mew introduced to the readers.[8] Infused with the DNA of a Golden Lion Tamarin, Pudding grows a monkey tail and ears while transformed, and fights with a pair of rings. Though her age is never stated, Pudding is said to be the youngest of the Mew Mews. She is full of energy and loves having fun, to the point Mint considers her very immature and the other Mew Mews agree that her monkey DNA is a perfect match for her personality.[11] Despite her childlike nature, Pudding is raising four younger siblings and managing the family finances, while their father is training in the mountains.[18] The manga never mentions Pudding's mother, while the anime adaptation states that she died.[27] Midway through the series, Pudding is captured by their enemy Tart and held hostage. Rather than fearing him, she befriends him.[28] In the final battle, she is reluctant to fight Tart, but does when he affirms they have no choice. After he is defeated, she cries over him.[19] At the end of the series, Pudding kisses Tart and tells him she does not want it to be goodbye and he says he may return to see her.[20] In the anime adaptation, the relationship between Pudding and Tart is somewhat expanded and their the circumstances of their initial friendship changes. Instead of being saved by the Mew Mews, Tart himself saves Pudding from the underground cavern when he realizes she is suffocating from a lack of oxygen.[29] She is voiced by Hisayo Mochizuki. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation, her name is changed to Kikki Benjamin and she is voiced by Kether Donahue.[30]

Zakuro Fujiwara

Zakuro Fujiwara (藤原　ざくろ, Fujiwara Zakuro) is the last of the main Mew Mews introduced. As with the others, she first appears at the endangered animal exhibit without being named.[8] Zakuro tends to be a loner, and initially refuses to join the other Mew Mews. She changes her mind after they come to her aid when she is targeted by Kish. Infused with the DNA of a Gray Wolf, Zakuro has a wolf tail and ears while in her Mew Mew form. Zakuro is presented as a mature character, who works as a professional model. As her biggest fan Mint effuses, Zakuro has "long, glossy, raven hair" with "dark, intelligent, yet sensitive eyes" and "long, strong and thin legs".[11] In the anime adaptation, Zakuro's background is more developed and she is said to be estranged from her family, having left home two years before.[31][29] Junko Noda provides her voice in the anime. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation, her name is changed to Renée Roberts and her voice is supplied by Mollie Weaver.[32]

Berry Shirayuki

Berry Shirayuki (白雪　ベリー, Shirayuki Berii) is introduced in Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode as the sequel series' main protagonist, the sixth Mew Mew, and the temporary leader of the Mew Mews while Ichigo is studying abroad.[12][33] She becomes the first Mew Mew to be infused with the DNA of two endangered species: the Andes Mountain Cat and the Amami Black Rabbit.[21] Like Ichigo, she is given a robot companion, Ucha, who gives her guidance and transforms into the wand Berry uses to fight.[13][21] As the "second strongest" Mew Mew, Berry becomes the primary target of the series antagonists, the Saint Rose Crusaders.[13][34] Throughout a la Mode, Berry comes to realize that she is in love with her close childhood friend Tasuku, causing her some confusion until she is able to come to terms with her feelings.[12][35] Together, they use their warm feelings of love to release the city's citizens from the Saint Rose Crusaders hypnotism and to change the hearts to the Crusaders.[36] At the end of the series, Berry and Tasuku are still a couple, the "lovebirds” of the café, work side-by-side as the cafe's new door-to-door delivery service and celebrate being in love.[36]

Antagonists

Aliens

In Tokyo Mew Mew, the primary antagonists are aliens who appear on Earth and attack it with chimera animas to "reclaim it". According to the aliens, their ancestors lived on Earth 3 million years ago, but had to leave after a series of catastrophes nearly lead to their extinction. The planet they ended up on had an inhospitable surface environment. Its sandstorms and high temperatures forced the aliens to live underground. The aliens never forgot Earth, their home world, and they longed to return to it. Having returned to Earth, the aliens are disgusted by the humans now living on Earth as they feel the humans are destroying the planet.[14] To accomplish their goal of reclaiming the planet, they are using the chimera animas to accelerate the environmental damage the humans are causing to destroy all current life on the planet.[11]

Deep Blue is the first alien to return, taking the form of a human boy and then going to sleep within him.[37] Kish, Pie, and Tart arrived later, with the purpose of removing the humans who were destroying their planet, so the remaining aliens could return.[14] After Deep Blue is destroyed and the aliens defeated, they return to their own planet with some of the mew aqua to change their current world into a place as beautiful as the Earth they had left behind.[20] The aliens are simply called aliens in the manga and original anime, however in the Mew Mew Power adaptation they are called "Cyniclons" and their history is changed so that they came from an uninhabitable planet and, jealous of the humans, decided to conquer the Earth and make it their new home.[38][39] The aliens have no role in Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode, however they appear in a single panel in the first volume when the Mew Mews complain about the aliens leaving behind some chimera animas.[12]

Chimera anima

Chimera animas (キメラ・アニマ, Kimera Anima) are blob-shaped parasitic aliens which the invading aliens use to infect animals and change them into monsters.[8][11][n 4] The Mew Mews' special attacks force the parasites out of the host bodies, after which Masha "eats" the parasites to retrieve them and the host returns to normal.[11] Kish, Pie, and Tart left Earth to return to their own world at the end of Tokyo Mew Mew, but nothing is said about the chimera animas. In Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode, it is revealed that some were left behind which are somehow being used by the Saint Rose Crusaders to aid in their plans for world domination.[12][13] In the anime series, chimera anima can also infect plants, human spirits, a fossil, and with mew aqua.[40][41][42][43] In the 4Kids Mew Mew Power English adaptation, infected animals are called "Predacytes" and the parasitic aliens, which are unnamed in the original, are named "Predacyte Infusors", or "Para Paras" for short.[44][45]

Kish

Kish (キッシュ, Kisshu) is the first of the aliens to come to earth,. Introduced at the end of the first volume of the manga, Kish primarily acts in a playful and carefree manner, seeming to enjoying fighting with the Mew Mews and treating it like a game.[8][11] Throughout the series, Kish is shown to developing increasing stronger feelings for Ichigo, first regarding her as an "interesting toy" that he'd kill for his leader to an obsession.[11][15] Eventually ke kidnaps Ichigo and confesses his love, then demands she cry because he loves seeing her frightened.[17] Towards the end of the series, Kish again declares his love to Ichigo, but when she rejects him he attacks her and begins strangling her while crying and asking how he can make her love him before eventually releasing her.[46] After Deep Blue is awakened, Kish turns against him to protect Ichigo and is killed.[19] After Deep Blue's defeat, Kish is revived with the power of the mew aqua. He returns with the others to their planet, after wishing Ichigo happiness and stealing one last kiss.[19][20] In the anime adaptation, his voice actor is Daisuke Sakaguchi. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation his name is changed to Dren and he is voiced by Andrew Rannells.[47]

Tart

Tart (タルト, Taruto) is one of two aliens who comes to Earth to aid Kish after he continues losing to the Mew Mews. Energetic and often childish, Tart taunts Kish for losing to the Mew Mews, saying he's weak.[48] He primarily fights using physical attacks and chimera animals, but is also capable of manipulating plants and using them to bind people and to use an energy beam attack.[49][28] Tart shows a distinct dislike for Ichigo and when they encounter one another, he refers to her as an "old woman" and she calls him a "midget" in order to annoy each other.[49][28] Midway through the series, Tart and Pie capture Pudding and store her under the Tokyo Dome. While guarding her, Tart appears to be bewildered by her refusal to be scared and her attempts to befriend him. After she is freed by the others, he laughs while looking at some candy she gave him.[28] In the anime adaptation, this incident is expanded to have Tart actually saving Pudding's life when she starts to suffocate after the cavern is sealed off.[29] At the end of the manga, when the aliens are leaving to go to their own world, Pudding kisses him and he tells her he might return to get another candy drop from her.[19][20] In the anime adaptation, Tart is killed by Pie when he tries to protect the Mew Mews.[42]. He is voiced by Asai Kiyomi. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation his name is changed to Tarb and he is voiced by Jimmy Zoppi.[50]

Pie

Pie (パイ, Pai) comes to Earth with Tart to aid Kish in preparing the planet of the arrival of Deep Blue.[48] He is calmly analytical during his initial attacks on the Mew Mews, scientifically escalating the "mortality rate" of each chimera anima he sends and, when they are defeated, noting that "stronger tactics will be needed.[48][25][14] Unlike Kish and Tart, Pie does not outwardly express his emotions often, rarely smiling even when taunting the Mew Mews and after Deep Blue's awakening.[51] After Deep Blue is defeated, Pie and the others return to their world.[20] In the anime adaptation, Pie kills Tart when Tart protects the Mew Mews. Later, when Deep Blue destroys their base and all of the chimera anima, he uses his fans to protect the Mew Mews and dies.[42] His voice actor is Nobutoshi Kanna. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation his name is changed to Sardon and he is voiced by Pete Zarustica.[52]

Deep Blue

Deep Blue (ディープ・ブルー, Dīpu Burū) is the leader of the aliens who came to Earth years before the others and assumed the form of a human boy name Masaya Aoyama, in order to avoid detection.[14][37] Deep Blue went to sleep within his new body, leaving the Masaya personality with no memories of who or what he really was, though he retained some of Deep Blue's disgust for the way humans were treating the environment. Though Deep Blue is the series primary antagonist, he does not actually appear until the end of the sixth volume of the manga. Cold natured and cruel hearted, Deep Blue will kill anyone who gets in his way. Upon emerging, he attacks and injures Ichigo, not sharing Masaya's love for her.[37] When Kish challenges him to a duel to protect Ichigo, Deep Blue kills him without any hesitation.[19] This action enables Masaya to temporarily re-emerge and release mew aqua inside their body, killing both Deep Blue and himself.[19]

In the anime adaptation, Deep Blue is seen from the second episode as a voice coming from a blue light to whom Kish gives progress reports.[23] As the series progresses, Kish brings him some mew aqua allowing a shadowed version of his true form to be seen.[53] His method of death is changed to come at the hands of Mew Ichigo rather than Masaya, though Masaya aids her by taking over the body.[54] To keep the true identity of Deep Blue a secret in the anime, his voice actor's name is shown only as a question mark until the forty-ninth episode when his identity is revealed; after which the credits are changed to list Megumi Ogata, who also voices Masaya and the Blue Knight.[23][55][56] Deep Blue is one of the few characters in the Mew Mew Power dub version whose name remains unchanged.[57] His role is slightly modified from that of a savior for the aliens to his being a destructive force that wants to do nothing but destroy the Earth, causing the aliens to turn against him.[42][54] In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation of the anime series, he is voiced by Scottie Ray.

Saint Rose Crusaders

The members of the Saint Rose Crusaders, as seen in the first volume of Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode. From top left to bottom right: Royal Highness, Duke (in the hooded robe), Sweet Juliet, Blue Bayou, Happy Child.[12]

The Saint Rose Crusaders (セント・ローズ・クルセイダーズ, Sento Rōzu Kuruseidāsu) are a group of humans who act as the primary villains in the two-volume Tokyo Mew Mew sequel, Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode. The group is comprised of four teenagers and their leader Duke. In a flashback to the group's founding, Royal Highness, Happy Child, Blue Bayou and Sweet Juliet are said to have been born with varying special powers which resulted in their being shunned by other people. Their families also abandoned them by sending them away to a boarding school, where they met and, discovering their commonality, began to plot to blow up the school. As they talked about their plans, they were approached by a mysterious person, known only as "Duke", who convinced them not to waste their lives because they were necessary to the world and important.[35]

The Saint Rose Crusaders claim they are seeking to reshape the "boring grownup world" into their own utopia using their "intelligence, philanthropy, and elegance".[12] To do this they use the chimera anima that has been left behind by the aliens after the events in Tokyo Mew Mew. The Mew Mews continue to defeat the remaining alien parasites and the Saint Rose Crusaders try to capture and kill their new leader, Berry Shirayuki.[13][34] Berry is saved by other Mews and the returned Mew Ichigo, so the Saint Rose Crusaders use subliminal messages and hypnotism to turn the citizens of Tokyo against the Mew Mews, including Berry's best friend, and growing crush, Tasuku Meguro.[58][59][36]

Each of the Crusaders features in a single major attack against Mew Berry and/or the other Mew Mews, before fading into the background. Towards the end of the series, Mew Berry is able to break the brainwashing spell cast on the public and Tasuku, Duke admits that the methods the Crusaders used were wrong. They are last seen in the series standing together on the roof of a building, enjoying the warm feelings being spread by Mew Berry.[36]

Duke

The leader of the Saint Rose Crusaders, Duke (公爵, Dyūku) is never clearly identified within the series as being male or female. Due to the ambiguous character designed used, it is left to the readers to decide. Reviewers of the series found it both interesting and disturbing that Duke's clothing is similar in design to the white robes worn by members of the Ku Klux Klan, an American white supremacy group once led by a man named David Duke.[60][61] Within a la Mode, Duke is not shown to have any racial prejudices: instead he appears before four ostracized children endowed with special powers that have been shunned by their families and societies because they were different. Duke, drawn by their loneliness and internal cries for help, takes them in, assures them that they are important, and helps them find purpose.[35] The manga suggests that Duke came up with the plan of using the remaining chimera anima to take over the world.[36]

Royal Highness

Royal Highness is the first of the Crusaders to reveal himself to the Mew Mews. He is presented as being somewhat vain about his appearance, referring to his own face as beautiful when it is scratched, and another character, Happy Child, says that Royal Highness angers very easily.[33] Royal Highness is seen displaying powers of telekinesis in flashback sequences, though he does not use them within the main story.[35] During the series, he is shown to be capable of mass hypnosis and as having a thirst for blood.[33] His primarily appearance in a La Mode is to commence the first attack on Mew Berry by posing as a special lecturer, Yuzen Akizuki (秋月 友禅, Akizuki Yuuzen). While he is being introduced at the school, it is stated that he graduated from an overseas university and is a Nobel Peace Prize candidate, though its unknown if this was part of his cover or true.[34][33]

Happy Child

Happy Child first shows himself to the Mew Mews when he comes to retrieve Royal Highness and later makes his main appearance during the second attack on Mew Berry. Happy Child is able to teleport himself, float in mid-air, speak directly into other people's minds, and attack with ultra-sonic waves.[33] In the flashback where the Crusaders first met Duke, Happy Child attempts to commit suicide by jumping off the roof. The others call out to him, using the name "Utamaro", but they are not able to stop him. Duke saves him by catching him when he goes over the roof's edge.[35]

Blue Bayou

Blue Bayou (ブルーバユー, Burū Bayū) is the least developed of the Crusader characters. He is described as having extraordinary physical strength and is shown in a flashback cracking a wall with his fist as a child.[35] He makes his main appearance when he teams up with Sweet Juliet for the third, and final, attack against the Mew Mews.[35]

Sweet Juliet

Sweet Juliet, the only Crusader whose job is mentioned, is a television drama actress. According to Blue Bayou, she is a "genius" in the field.[12][35] She is shown to tune things out when she cannot understand something.[58] For her part in the final attack on the Mew Mews, Sweet Juliet disguises herself as an announcer named "Otome Sakuragasumi" who gives an enthusiastic report of the Mew Mews saving the day.[35] Sweet Juliet claims to feel bad for Berry towards the end of the series, when the plan successfully causes the public to attack Berry for "making the Mew Mews evil", but she also notes that she "guesses" Berry deserves it.[62]

Supporting characters

Masaya Aoyama

Masaya Aoyama (青山 雅也, Aoyama Masaya) is the classmate and romantic interest of central character, Ichigo Momomiya. He later reveals that he shares her feelings and they begin dating.[8][11] Masaya is the only person outside of the Mew Project to know Mew Ichigo's real identity, though he initially pretends otherwise because he knew Ichigo did not want him to know.[63][16] In describing him to readers, Ichigo says Masaya as "smart", "cute", "very athletic" and "popular at school".[8] He is also depicted as being very polite and calm person, though he does have moments when he yells at others in anger and acts jealous and possessive regarding Ichigo.[11][46] Towards the end of the series, Masaya reveals that as an orphaned child, he began acting like a "perfect child" in order to be adopted. In reality, he felt sick of humans and disgusted by how they treated the planet. Ichigo was the sole exception, and it was only with her that he felt like a "real human being".[46] As the series progresses, it is revealed that Masaya is the Blue Knight, a mysterious protector of Mew Ichigo who appeared midway through the series. Masaya did not know that he was transforming, and the Blue Knight personality appeared to have no knowledge that he was Masaya. Once Masaya becomes aware of his transformation, he realizes it was born of his desire to protector Ichigo.[17] Shortly after this revelation, Masaya collapses and reawakens as Deep Blue, the leader of the aliens and the Mew Mew's final enemy. Deep Blue claims that created Masaya in order to deceive the world while he slept until the time was right.[37] In order to stop Deep Blue, Masaya releases the final Mew Aqua inside his body, killing both Deep Blue and himself. Ichigo gives her life to save him, and the mew aqua remaining his body then saves her.[19][20] At the end of the series, Masaya decides to go to England to study the endangered species used for the Mew Project and the Mew Mews hold a mock wedding for Masaya and Ichigo before he leaves.[20] In Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode, Masaya is the first to sense the new danger to the Mew Mews, and encourages Ichigo to return to help her friends.[35] Towards the end of a la Mode, he also returns to Tokyo.[36] In the anime series, his voice actor is Megumi Ogata. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation his name is changed to Mark and he is voiced by Scottie Ray.[22]

Blue Knight

The Blue Knight (蒼の騎士, Ao no Kishi) is an unknown alien male introduced at the end of the fourth volume of the manga when he suddenly appears to rescue Ichigo during a battle with Kish.[15] He tells Ichigo that he "is hers" and that he was "born to protect her".[18] After his first appearance, the Blue Knight reappeared whenever Ichigo was in danger—fighting with an unnamed sword and disappearing soon after.[28] As the series progresses, Ichigo attempts to learn his true identity, suspecting both Ryou and Keiichiro at one point, before learning near the end of the series that he is an alternate persona of her boyfriend, Masaya. The persona, which had no memory until Masaya transformed to protect Ichigo in front of her, was created out of his desire to protect Ichigo.[17] After his true identity is revealed, the Blue Knight, now knowing he is Masaya, goes with Mew Ichigo to fight together with the other Mew Mews once. There is it revealed that Masaya/Blue Knight is are both alternate personalities of their worst enemy Deep Blue.[37] The Blue Knight disappears after Masaya's transformation into Deep Blue. In Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode, Masaya notes that he no longer possess the powers he had as the Blue Knight.[35] In the anime adaptation, the Blue Knight is given a larger role, fighting with all of the Mew Mews several times, advising them to the weaknesses of the monsters, and encouraging them.[64][65][66][67][68] His voice actor is Megumi Ogata. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation, he is one of the few characters whose original name is retained. He is voiced by Sean Schemmel.[64]

Ryou Shirogane

Ryou Shirogane (白金 稜, Shirogane Ryō) is a wealthy high school student, the head of the Mew Project, and the owner of Cafe Mew Mew. Ryou is said to be a genius in the manga, and in the anime series it is said that his IQ is higher than 180.[9][10] After his parents death when he was ten, he moved to Japan to continue his father's work, joined by his father's assistant Keiichiro. After he completed the technique for injecting genes into the future Mew Mews, he first used it on himself to ensure the chosen girls would not be harmed. As he was not a compatible host, the technique only gave him the ability to change into a cat at will for up to ten minutes at a time.[9] At some point he built the robot assistants of Mew Ichigo, and later Mew Berry, R2000 and R2003 respectively.[11][13] Ryou tends to talk roughly but displays a strong sense of personal responsibility, particularly with regards to the Mew Mews.[25] In his cat form, he helps Ichigo several times, using the name Alto, including kissing her to help change her back.[9] Ryou's age is never given in the series, though the official Tōkyō Myū Myū – Tōjō Shin Myū Myū! – Minna Issho ni Gohōshi Suru Nyan game guide lists him as being fifteen years old.[69] In Mew Mew Power promotional material he is listed as being sixteen.[70] In the anime series, his voice actor is Kouichi Toochika. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation his name is changed to Elliot Grant and he is voiced by Sean Schemmel.[70]

Keiichiro Akasaka

Keiichiro Akasaka (赤坂　圭一郎, Akasaka Kei'ichirō) is the manager and baker at Cafe Mew Mew and Ryou's partner in the Mew Project.[8] Five years before the start of Tokyo Mew Mew, Keiichiro worked with Dr. Shirogane, Ryou's father, on the Mew Project. After Dr. Shirogane's death, he continued working on the project with Ryou.[9] Keiichiro's age is not given in the manga and anime adaptations. In the official game guide for the 2002 Playstation game Tōkyō Myū Myū – Tōjō Shin Myū Myū! – Minna Issho ni Gohōshi Suru Nyan, he is listed as being twenty-one years old.[71], while in Mew Mew Power promotional materials, he is stated to be seventeen.[72] The Mew Mews consider him to be a gentlemen, with a charming, tactful, and kind personality. He can be mischievous and flirtatious as well, such as offering to kiss Ichigo to change her out of her cat form.[9][28][63] In the anime series, his voice actor is Hikaru Midorikawa. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation his name is changed to Wesley J. Coolridge and he is voiced by Andrew Rannells.[72]

Tasuku Meguro

Tasuku Meguro (目黒 侑, Meguro Tasuku) is the best friend and love interest of Berry Shirayuki in Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode.[12] He has lived beside Berry since they were born and have been best friends all their lives.[12] After her mother's death, he begins giving her a hug each morning to replace her mother, and express his own feelings. He also roller blades a long distance to her new school to check on her.[12] When he discovers Berry has become a Mew Mew, he reassures her that it does not bother him and he will never quit being her friend.[59] As the story progresses, Tasuku admits that he is in love with Berry, but initially tries to hide his feelings.[58] Eventually he asks her if he can stop being her "childhood friend" before kisses her, apologizing, and running away before she can answer.[62][58] While he berates himself for his behavior, Duke uses the opportunity to hypnotize him, causing him to turn against Berry.[58] When Berry confesses her own feelings and kisses him, Tasuku is freed from the spell and asks her to stay with him forever, to which she agrees.[59][36] After the Saint Rose Crusaders are defeated, Berry and Tasuku continue working at Cafe Mew Mew, working together as the cafe's new door-to-door delivery service and celebrating being in love.[36]

Masha

Masha (マシャ, Masha) is a robot created to detect chimera animas and mew aqua. Originally called by her model number of R2000, Ichigo renames her "Masha" after Masaya.[11] After the aliens are defeated, Masha chooses to stay with Ichigo when she goes to London with Masaya.[13] In addition to detecting the chimera animas, Masha eats the jelly-fish like parasites that come out of the victims after they are defeated.[8][11] She can also merge with mew aqua found by the Mew Mews to transform into the Mew Aqua Rod, allowing any of the Mew Mews to perform the Ribbon Aqua Drops healing attack.[51] Primarily communicating by repeating the sounds "pi" and "tweet", Masha does not appear to be designed to support high level speech initially, though in Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode one frame shows her speaking in a complete sentence.[13] In the Tokyo Mew Mew anime adaptation, Masha is a male instead of female, has a more extensive vocabulary, and tries to assist the Mew Mews in some battles, though unsuccessfully.[40] In the original Japanese series, he is voiced by Junko Noda. In the Mew Mew Power English adaptation, his name is changed to Minimew and he is voiced by Tom Wayland.[73]

Ucha

Ucha (ウチャ, Ucha) is the second robot created by Ryou.[13] Appearing only in Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode, the R3000 is given to Berry Shirayuki who names him Ucha.[13][21] Ucha has similar abilities to Masha, however it can also speak in complete sentences and tends to complain a lot. It also has a different appearance, resembling a strawberry with bunny ears, and can transform into Berry's staff weapon.[13]

Merchandise

Several types of merchandise have been produced based on the likeness of the characters in the Tokyo Mew Mew series.[74] Apparel such as clothing, backpacks, and other accessories, have been released, as well as full costumes used for cosplay.[75][76][77] Other merchandise includes action figures, plush dolls, key chains, and calendars.[78][79][80][81][82]

Reception

The characters of Tokyo Mew Mew have received praise and criticism from several publications for anime, manga, and other media. AnimeFringe's Patrick King Ikumi's character designs for being a perfect first for the feel of the series, noting that "one of the most attractive aspects of Tokyo Mew Mew is easily Mia Ikumi's ultra-cute artwork. Big eyes, cat ears, fuzzy tails, and short skirts all come together in a cuteness combo that's hard to resist."[83]

The new characters introduced in Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode received more mixed reviews. Mania Entertainment's Mike Dungan found new Mew Mew Berry Shirayuki to be a "fun character" due to her energy and cheerfulness and found Tasuku to be a well-crafted complement praising the way his seeming clinginess avoids being annoying.[84] However, Janet Crocker of Anime Fringe felt Berry was an overly shallow heroine that was just mirroring the life of the character Mew Ichigo from the original Tokyo Mew Mew in a shorter form. She also dismissed the Saint Rose Crusaders' costumes and plans as being nothing more than concepts borrowed from Sailor Moon. She also criticized the specific designs used for the character Duke, whose white robe she felt was too similar to those used by the white supremacy group, the Ku Klux Klan.[60] Anime News Network's disagree, feeling Berry acted like a "typical preteen girl" without crossing the line into being a potentially annoying and avoids the appearance of being a standard "a marketable character trying to rack up charm points".[85] He also felt that Tasuku was "an excellent complement to [Berry], with his outgoing charm and clinginess that is surprisingly never annoying".[85]
