Tokyo Mew Mew (東京ミュウミュウ Tōkyō Myū Myū?), also known as Mew Mew Power, is a magical girl manga and anime series, created by illustrator Mia Ikumi and writer Reiko Yoshida.
The manga was published in the Nakayoshi magazine in 2001, and has also been collected in tankōbon (graphic novel) form, both published by Kodansha. The anime series, produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Noriyuki Abe with character designs by Mari Kitayama and music by Takayuki Negishi with help from Ikumi and Yoshida, aired on TV Aichi in Japan. An English translation of the manga has been published in North America by TOKYOPOP. It was also published in English in Singapore by Chuang Yi. There is also a sequel series entitled Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, spanning two volumes, and Reiko did not help create the sequel. The anime series was licensed in North America by 4Kids Entertainment as Mew Mew Power, and like many of 4Kids' properties, Tokyo Mew Mew features prominently in the debate over fansubs.
The animation/artwork underwent several changes around the later episodes of season 2 (mainly around episodes 40-52); the characters start to look more detailed and more bishōjo/bishōnen. For example, the style for Kish and Zakuro Fujiwara drastically changed in the later episodes. The animation style experienced other minor changes during the series, but this is the most noticeable.

[edit] Story
A girl named Ichigo Momomiya, and four other girls, Mint Aizawa, Lettuce Midorikawa, Pudding Fong, and Zakuro Fujiwara, have their DNA mysteriously "infused" with the DNA of endangered species. Gaining special abilities and a different appearance, they later find out that they have been chosen to protect Earth from a group of aliens who wish to 'reclaim it': Kish, Tart, Pie, and the mysterious Deep Blue, who have the power to control jellyfish-like parasites which infect animals, turning their hosts into monsters called Chimera Animas.
At the same time, these five girls must also work as waitresses at the Café Mew Mew, which is secretly the headquarters of Tokyo Mew Mew, owned by Ryou Shirogane and Keiichiro Akasaka. To make things more difficult for Ichigo, since she is mainly doing all the work at Café Mew Mew, she must also deal with finding out whether her crush, and later in the series boyfriend, Masaya Aoyama, likes her or knows that she is a Mew Mew. She is also pursued by two other boys, Ryou Shirogane and the alien Kish. Ichigo is only troubled for a part of the series, however, for she finds out that Masaya does indeed have feelings for her and they become inseparable by series end.
At the time Tokyo Mew Mew was published in Japan (2001), there were around 2,580 species of animals facing extinction. This number most likely increased by the time it was translated (2003).
[edit] International adaptations
Tokyo Mew Mew has been translated into other languages, sometimes with various alterations made. However, Mew Mew Power, the 4Kids' English adaptation of the anime, is generally seen by fans to be the worst, due to major alterations, such as renaming of characters, episodes (and various clips) moved around, visible alterations to backgrounds, and cuts of scenes ranging from a few seconds to almost half a minute each.
[edit] Spin-offs
Many other Tokyo Mew Mew stories exist. Most of them are based off the manga series.

[edit] Protagonists
[edit] Mew Mews
- Ichigo Momomiya (桃宮 いちご Momomiya Ichigo?) - The first member of the "Mew Project" and the main character of the series, Ichigo is a 12-13 year-old (see age dispute) girl who becomes infused with the DNA of an Iriomote Wildcat. Ichigo, a bit of a shy, clumsy ditz, originally wants nothing to do with the "Mew Project," instead wishing to simply spend time with her crush, Masaya. Later, however, she accepts her fate, realizing the importance of the task assigned to her. Ichigo takes her name from the Japanese word for "strawberry". She is 144.8 cm, about 4 ft 9 in. Ichigo is known as Zoey Hanson in Mew Mew Power, and as Strawberry Momomiya (and Mew Berry in her Mew form) in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Mint Aizawa (藍沢 みんと Aizawa Minto?) - The second member of the Mews, 13 year-old Mint is infused with the DNA of an Ultramarine Lorikeet. A snobbish girl from a wealthy family, Mint is at first not very enthusiastic about taking on her responsibilities as a Mew. However, as the series progresses, she proves to be a good friend and a valuable team member. She admires Zakuro very much, almost to the point of being an obsessive fangirl. She is 139.7 cm, about 4 ft 7 in. Mint is known as Corina Bucksworth in Mew Mew Power, and as Mina Aizawa in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Lettuce Midorikawa (碧川 れたす Midorikawa Retasu?) - 13 -year-old Lettuce is infused with the DNA of a Finless Porpoise. Though she comes from a supportive family, Lettuce is very timid and shy. Only after she joins the Mews does she gain the confidence she initially lacks. She is also very clumsy, tending to break many plates while working at Café Mew Mew. However she is very hardworking and always tries to do what is right. She is close friends with Pudding Fong. One of the tallest members of the group, Lettuce stands at 157.5 cm, about 5 ft 2 in. Lettuce is known as Bridget Verdant in Mew Mew Power, and as Lory Midorikawa in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Pudding Fong (黄 歩鈴, Chinese Pinyin: Huáng Bùlíng or Huang Bu Ling, Japanese: Fon Purin) - 8 -year-old Pudding, the youngest of the Mews, is infused with the DNA of a Golden Lion Tamarin. Pudding has a very unusual family life. Her mother died when she was young, and her father is on a pilgrimage to practice martial arts. Therefore, she must care for her four brothers and one sister. In spite of the stress brought on by this staggering responsibility, Pudding remains sweet and retains her childish nature, possibly to cope with her family issues. In the manga, she has a pet monkey named An-Nin, who she is often seen playing with. She develops a huge crush on Tart, one of the aliens. They are more than friends but she still just calls him a friend. Though they play, hug and kiss, they are not seen as a genuine couple. In the Japanese version, she gave Tart the nickname "Taru-Taru". Pudding is 134.6 cm, about 4 ft 5 in. Pudding is known as Kikki Benjamin in Mew Mew Power, and as Paddy Fon in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Zakuro Fujiwara (藤原 ざくろ Fujiwara Zakuro?) - 15-year-old Zakuro, a mysterious, beautiful model/actress, is the last Mew to be found, and is infused with the DNA of a Gray Wolf. At first, Zakuro is wary of groups, but she later decides to make an exception for the Mews. She does not talk much, but tries to make whatever she says matter, and is anti-social to the customers at Café Mew Mew. Zakuro comes off as mean, but is a lot more understanding and more intelligent than most. Zakuro takes her name from the Japanese word for "pomegranate". She is 167.6 cm, about 5 ft 6 in. tall. Zakuro is known as Renée Roberts in Mew Mew Power, and as Pam Fujiwara in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Berry Shirayuki (白雪 ベリー Shirayuki Berii?) - A Mew who appears in Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode and the last page of the last volume of Tokyo Mew Mew, taking over leadership for Ichigo when Ichigo goes to England with Aoyama. Berry is the only member of the team who was infused with the DNA of two animals: An Andean Mountain Cat and the Amami Rabbit. Her personality is similar to Ichigo's. Berry is 12 years old and lives just outside Tokyo. She is 5 ft 1 inch tall.
- Ringo Akai (赤井 りんご Akai Ringo?) - A Mew who appears only in the Playstation game, the comic that comes with it and Petite Mew Mew in Vol. 2 of Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode. Ringo is not infused with DNA like the other Mews; she wears a necklace containing Mew Aqua that allows her to transform into Mew Ringo. The animal she represents is the Humboldt Penguin. She is 10 years old and 4 ft 3 in. Despite the similarities and rumours, Ringo is not related to Ichigo. Her name is Japanese for "apple".
[edit] Friends
- Masaya Aoyama (青山 雅也 Aoyama Masaya?) - Masaya is a popular 7th grade boy who is concerned about the Earth's environment. He acts in a generous manner to make it through in life and to hide the fact that he is cynical toward most people. He is Ichigo's boyfriend and crush. Masaya is known as Mark in both Mew Mew Power and Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- The Blue Knight (蒼の騎士 Ao no Kishi?) - The protector of Ichigo. Though he is seen with the other Mews, he is usually only around Ichigo. His identity is not known for some time. He tends to not have Ichigo fight, usually to fight alone, to the point where it be argued that he would even sacrifice himself to protect her. The Blue Knight's Japanese name is simply translated into English in both Mew Mew Power and Tokyopop's manga, and is translated into Italian as Cavaliere Blu in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Ryou Shirogane (白金 稜 Shirogane Ryō?) - The very-rich owner of Café Mew Mew, Ryou is a genius and is the first person to be injected with animal DNA, as he injected himself. He has a pet robot, originally called R2000, which he gives to Ichigo. He seems to harbor hidden feelings for Ichigo. Ryou is known as Elliot Grant in Mew Mew Power, and as Ryan Shirogane in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Keiichiro Akasaka (赤坂 圭一郎 Akasaka Kei'ichirō?) - The gentleman of the males, he is known to be feminine and kind. In the anime, he has an ex-girlfriend, Rei Nishina. An old friend of Ryou's late parents, Keiichiro assumed the role of Ryou's guardian after the couple's deaths. He also helps to manage Café Mew Mew, and is Ryou's partner in the Mew Project. Keiichiro is known as Wesley J. Coolridge III in Mew Mew Power, and as Kyle Akasaka in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Tasuku Meguro (目黒 侑 Meguro Tasuku?) - Appearing only in Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, Berry's best friend who later becomes her crush then soon after boyfriend. He finds out Berry is a Mew Mew, and accepts it quickly. He is deceived by the Duke, giving off the impression that he hates Berry. Berry pulls him out of the darkness, and they announce their feelings for each other.
- Masha (R2000) (マシャ) - A pet robot made by Ryou to detect Chimera Anima and evil aliens, and eat the jellyfish-like parasites. Ichigo gives the little robot the name "Masha", because it sounds similar to "Masaya". Masha's serial number may be a reference to the year Tokyo Mew Mew was being made, but not yet published, in Japan. Masha is known as Mini-Mew in Mew Mew Power, and as Mash in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Ucha (R2003) (ウチャ) - Appearing only in Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, Ucha is Berry Shirayuki's robot. It is similar to Masha in capabilities; however, it can speak complete sentences, has a bit of attitude, and looks like a strawberry with bunny ears. Ucha's serial number may be a reference to the year À la Mode was published in Japan, which was 2003.
[edit] Antagonists
- Pie (パイ Pai) - Probably the most competent of Deep Blue's underlings, Pie is serious, analytical, and very dedicated in his pursuit of the Mews, to reclaim his Alien's planet. He controls germ-like Chimera Animas, and has a fan that allows him to use wind and thunder attacks. It is hinted in the anime that he has a slight crush on Lettuce. He is 182 cm, about 6'5". Pie is known as Sardon (a pun on the word sardonic) in Mew Mew Power, and his name is unchanged in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Kish (キッシュ Kisshu, named after the unfamiliar food item Quiche) - One of the aliens attempting to reclaim the earth, Kish controls the alien parasites that turn their hosts into Chimera Animas. Initially, his sole intent is to save his dying race. Later, however, he loses focus of this goal as he develops feelings for Ichigo. Kish is known as Dren (nerd backwards) in Mew Mew Power, and is known as Kisch in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Tart (タルト Taruto) - A young, hyper alien who likes to have "fun" with the Mews. He is the only alien of the three who can control plant Chimera Animas, and is more or less friends with Pudding, likes her, although denies it. He is 150 cm, about 4'11". Tart is known as Tarb (brat backwards) in Mew Mew Power, and his name is unchanged in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Gateau du Rowa (ガトー・デュ・ロワ Gatou dyu Rowa; the correct spelling is "Gateau du Roi", "King cake" in French) - An alien that appears only in the Playstation game, and the main villain of that game. He is described as being aristocratic and intelligent. He is almost exactly as loyal to Deep Blue as Pie, and is the most sophisticated of any of the aliens, always trying to tell Kish to be more "elegant", though he pretty much lets him do whatever he wants despite the fact that he's supposed to be serving Gateau himself.
- Deep Blue (ディープ・ブルー Dīpu Burū) - An ancient spirit who is the leader of the aliens. His identity is shrouded in mystery until volume 6 in the manga and episode 49 in the anime. Kish generally does not trust him, especially when his identity was not known. Deep Blue is cold, cruel and will not hesitate to hurt Ichigo or anyone else. At the end of the seven-part series, he is killed by Masaya, with Ichigo's help, in order to save Tokyo. Deep Blue's name is unchanged in Mew Mew Power, and he is known as Profondo Blu (Italian for Deep Blue) in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti.
- Chimera Anima (キメラ・アニマ Kimera Anima?) - Chimera Animas are monsters created when small jellyfish-like parasites possess an animal, a plant, or a human spirit stolen from people by the aliens that turns them into monsters and under the control of whoever creates them. When they are defeated by Ichigo and her group, their host reverts back to normal and Masha eats or collects the jellyfish-like parasites.
- They are known as Predacytes in Mew Mew Power (possibly a pun on predator) and the jellyfish-like parasites are known as Predacyte Infusors In Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti they are known as Chimeros (Chimeri, pronounced ki-MAY-ri, singular of Chimero, pronounced ki-MAY-roh). In the English version of the manga the jellyfish-like parasites are sometimes called Parasite Aliens. The Chimera Animas themselves are known by two names in the English manga: Kirema Anima in Tokyo Mew Mew, and Chimera Anima in Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, which lead to confusion.
- Saint Rose Crusaders (セント・ローズ・クルセイダーズ Sento Rōzu Kuruseidāsu; kanji: 聖薔薇騎士団 Sei-bara kishi dan or Sei-shōbi kishi dan) - The villains of Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, they are a group of humans who take control of the remaining Chimera Animas and intend to use them for world domination. The members of the group are Royal Highness/Aizuki Yuuzen, Happy Child/Utamaro, Blue Bayou, Sweet Juliet and the leader, Duke. Aizuki poses as a teacher at Berry's school to get her blood.
[edit] Miscellaneous
- Sakurako and Kaoruko - Berry's friends from her school in Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, they are both very rich, which is presumably how they got into the private junior high school.
[edit] Similarity between characters' kanji and name origin
[edit] Name origin
The main characters in Tokyo Mew Mew are named after foods.[1]
[edit] The Mew Mews
- Ichigo = Strawberry
- Minto = Mint (Japanese equivalent in kana)
- Retasu = Lettuce (Japanese equivalent in kana)

[edit] Similarity to signature color
The fruit or other foods that the Mew Mews are named after are similar to their signature colors. Ichigo's pink is similar to the red of a strawberry, Mint's blue is like that used on some mint-flavored candies, Lettuce's green is similar to some types of lettuce, Pudding's yellow is similar to the color of some types of flan and/or pudding, Zakuro's color is a red-violet similar to the red of a pomegranate, and Ringo's red is the same as a red apple's color. Berry Shirayuki is the only exception to this.
[edit] Characters' kanji [2]
All the main characters in Tokyo Mew Mew have the kanji of colors in their last names, with the exception of Ichigo and Zakuro.
- Mint ( 藍 ai = indigo) not to be confused with 愛 ai = love

Also, the kanji of the other characters' colors are similar to traits of some characters, such as a signature color (for the Mew Mews) and/or hair/eye color.
Mint, Lettuce, Zakuro, Keiichiro, and Masaya's have the kanji of geographic features in their last names:

[edit] Alterations in Tokyopop's manga translation
The English version of the Tokyo Mew Mew manga feature several alterations of the text. Whether they were made purposefully, or translation errors, is not clear, as sometimes the translations of certain texts changed throughout the story, making it rather confusing, and the company who translated the manga (Tokyopop) does not have a section explaining Japanese terms.
[edit] Mews' weapons and attacks
 |
This article or section may contain original research or unattributed claims. Please help Wikipedia by adding references. See the talk page for details. |
In the original manga, the names of the Mews' weapons and some attacks have puns made by combining two English words. It was stated in the manga by illustrator Mia Ikumi that the names of the Mews' weapons and attacks are intended to be humourous. The syllabic structure of the Japanese language makes it easier to combine words (English or Japanese), but it is rather hard to translate the combined words fully in English (or any other language) and keep the humorous nature of the pun. Sometimes, the weapons' names are partially translated and romanized at the same time. An example of this would be Ichigo's weapon, ストロベルベル sutoroberuberu, called "Sutoro Bell Bell" in the English manga. ベル beru was translated to "bell", but ストロ sutoro was only romanized. Some names are romanized altogether, an example being Mint's weapon, ミントーンアロー mintoun arou, called "Mintoon Alo" in the English version of the manga. The reason for this maybe because Tokyopop wasn't sure what these words translated to, therefore simply romanized it.
Zakuro is the only Mew whose attack name is mistranslated many times throughout the manga series. Due to her weapon's and attack's names using two English words combined quite in a unique way compare to the other Mews, it's hard to fully translate them. Some of the translations have certainly been made incorrectly, such as the translation "Ribbon Zakuro Pure", which omits one of the syllables entirely.
[edit] Chimera Anima
|
This article or section may contain original research or unattributed claims. Please help Wikipedia by adding references. See the talk page for details. |
Tokyopop translated the name of the monsters (キメラアニマ Kimera Anima) as "Kirema Anima" in Tokyo Mew Mew, with the first word misromanized. The two consonants were switched for an unknown reason. The romanization was apparently done incorrectly . It was then changed to "Chimera Anima" in Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode. As nearly all of these monsters resemble animals, this gives an impression that "Anima" was a mistranslation, and that the word is in fact "Animal". However, the word "animal" (アニマル animaru) is written differently in katakana than the word "anima" (アニマ anima).
The word "Anima" (アニマ anima) in the monsters' name can be thought of as a pun, as there are many puns in Tokyo Mew Mew, intended to sound odd, or funny. The pun that appears to make sense would then be a reference to the jellyfish-like parasites; them being the soul, but a soul isn't parasitic. Another possible pun would be a shortening of the word アニマル animaru, thus keeping a reference to animals, similar to the Galaxia's minions in Sailor Moon, called Sailor AnimaMates there.[3]
[edit] Confusion of Ichigo's age
|
This article or section may contain original research or unattributed claims. Please help Wikipedia by adding references. See the talk page for details. |
Ichigo Momomiya's numerous ages can be seen as confusing or incorrect. In the beginning of volume two of the English manga, she is described as 11 years old. In volume three, she is then described as 12. However, according to the manga, Ichigo is also a seventh grader (first year of middle school by Japanese standards). It can be seen as odd that the company that translated the manga (Tokyopop) described her as 11 years old, because she has to be at least 12-13 to be in the seventh grade, unless she skipped a grade, or that she suddenly aged 11 to 12, which are both unlikely. A possible reason for this mistake is that in America, middle school sometimes starts at grade 6 instead of grade 7, as in Japan, but since Tokyopop stated her grade correctly, this seems unlikely. It is also unlikely that the mistake was present in the original manga. Tokyopop apparently overlooked the fact that Ichigo's age does not match her grade.
[edit] Ribbon translation error [4]
Tokyopop translated the first word of the Mews' attack as "Ribbon". But, in the Japanese version of the manga, it is written as リボーン riboun, which would translate as "reborn", not "ribbon", as it would be written as リボン ribon.
The words "reborn" (リボーン) and "ribbon" (リボン) are written in katakana according to their pronunciation by a native speaker of English. The length of the vowel can completely change the meaning of the word. But since the only difference between the two words is the chōon, which represents the length of the a vowel, it's easy to make a mistake when translating them back into English.
In the opening song of the anime, Rika Komatsu sings the word リボン ribon, and it sounds very different from the Mews saying リボーン riboun in their attack name.
It is possible that リボーン riboun was intended to be a pun on リボン ribon, since there are many puns in Tokyo Mew Mew. However, it does not mean that リボーン riboun can be translated two ways, and the Mews' attacks are not associated with ribbons.
[edit] Other mangas with "reborn"
There is also a shounen manga titled "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" translated by Viz Media. Its logo shows katakana characters リボーン associated with the word "Reborn" written in Latin letters. [5] Therefore, リボーン has been proven to be "reborn" by a different company that did the translation.
リボーン is used in the Sailor Moon manga, in Sailor Saturn's attack "Death Reborn Revolution" (デス・リボーン・レボリューション desu riboun reboryuushon). Tokyopop (known then as Mixx) translated the Sailor Moon manga. It can be seen as odd how Tokyopop translated リボーン correctly then, and yet did not in Tokyo Mew Mew. It is possible this happened because of different translators. Interestingly, "Death Reborn Revolution" does involve ribbons, so in that case the pun on the word "ribbon" is obvious.
"Reborn" in Saturn's attack has also been mistranslated as "ribbon" many times by fans, so this wouldn't be first time there has been confusion about "reborn".[6]
