Tokyo Mew Mew (東京ミュウミュウ, Tōkyō Myū Myū), is a magical girl manga and anime series, created by writer Reiko Yoshida and illustrator Mia Ikumi. It aired in Japan on TV Aichi and TV Tokyo.

Originally published as a manga series, Tokyo Mew Mew was later adapted into a 52-episode anime series with the same title. The manga version included side stories, and a sequel titled Tokyo Mew Mew A la Mode.

The anime was licensed and released in North America by 4Kids Entertainment as Mew Mew Power.

Plot

The story starts with the main character, Ichigo Momomiya, and her date, Masaya Aoyama, visiting a Red Data Animal museum. An earthquake strikes and Ichigo enters a dream-like sequence. Later, Ichigo is introduced to Ryou Shirogane and Keiichiro Akasaka, and they tell her DNA is "infused" with the DNA of a Red Data Animal, and that she has gained special abilities and a different appearance to protect Earth from a group of aliens – Kish, Tart, Pie, and their leader Deep Blue – who wish to "reclaim" Earth. The aliens can control jellyfish-like parasites which infect animals and turns them into monsters called Chimera Anima. Ichigo fights using the alias Mew Ichigo, but is not alone—she finds four other girls just like her, they become friends, and call themselves Tokyo Mew Mew.

Characters

Mew Mews

Ichigo Momomiya

Ichigo is the first member of the "Mew Project", the main character of the series, and is called Zoey Hanson in the English adaptation. She is a 12 year-old girl who becomes infused with the DNA of an Iriomote Wildcat, allowing her to transform into Mew Ichigo. Ichigo's personality is much like that of a main character of a shoujo manga series; enthusiastic, outgoing and at times a ditz. At first, she does not want anything to do with the Mew Project. However, she soon realizes the importance of her task and accepts her role as Mew Ichigo.

Mint Aizawa

Mint is the second member of the Mews and is called Corina Bucksworth in the English adaptation. 12 year-old Mint is infused with the DNA of a Blue Lorikeet. As a snobbish girl from a wealthy family, Mint seems stubborn and mean at first, but she is a good friend and a valuable Mew. Most of the time she may not seem like it, but she is very sensitive and her feelings can be easily hurt. She also admires Zakuro very much, almost to the point of being obsessed.

Lettuce Midorikawa

Lettuce is the third member of the Mews and is called Bridget Verdant in the English adaptation. 13 year-old Lettuce is infused with the DNA of a Finless Porpoise, which allows her to transform into Mew Lettuce with power over water. Although she comes from a supportive family, Lettuce is very timid and shy; after she joins the Mews she gains more confidence and pride in herself. She is also very clumsy, tending to break plates while working at Cafe Mew Mew. She is very hard-working and tries to help out her friends whenever possible.

Pudding Fong

Pudding is the fourth and youngest of the Mews, and is called Kikki Benjamin in the English adaptation. 11 year-old Pudding is infused with the DNA of a Golden Lion Tamarin, which allows her to transform into Mew Pudding and have power over earth. Pudding has a very unusual family: her mother died when she was young, and her father is on a pilgrimage to practice martial arts, and she must take care of her four brothers and sister by cooking meals and keeping the house clean. Pudding always retains her childish nature, in spite of her huge responsibility. In the manga, she has a pet monkey named An-Nin, who she is often seen playing with.

Production

Manga

The Tokyo Mew Mew series began as a manga written by Reiko Yoshida and drawn by Mia Ikumi. They first met in a Chinese restaurant in a metropolitan hotel. Reiko describes Mia as a generous and fun person to work with, and Reiko is the supervisor for the project.

For each volume of Tokyo Mew Mew, the basic story plot is determined by Reiko and two other editors. They then turn it into a scenario, then finalize it. They then present it to Mia, who adds her own ideas to the scenario. The end result is a first draft of the manuscript.

Tokyo Mew Mew appears to be influenced from Mia's earlier work, Tokyo Black Cat Girl; they both have a female heroine who can transform into a cat with animal influenced moves, antagonists who appear monstrous, and having a love life. The basic plot of Tokyo Black Cat Girl was expanded; there is now a group of animal-influenced heroines. The connection between them is strengthened by that after Ikumi finished Tokyo Black Cat Girl in February 2000, her next big project was Tokyo Mew Mew. The character Masha is in both stories, and has similar abilities.

Spanning 29 issues, the manga was serialized in the Kodansha's shōjo magazine Nakayoshi from September 2000 to February 2003. The story is succeeded by Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, a two-volume sequel to Tokyo Mew Mew, originally serialized in Nakayoshi from April 2003 to February 2004, spanning ten issues. Reiko did not help create the sequel.

The series was published in tankobon (graphic novel) form, which consists of seven volumes, also by Kodansha.

Anime

The anime adaptation is very different from the manga. While the basic plot of the anime is the same, there are new characters, Chimera Anima and attacks for the Mew Mews.

In the manga, Ichigo receives nearly all the attention, as if she was the only Mew against the Aliens; the other major characters are treated as if they were minor characters. In the anime, the other main characters have much more backstory and unique personaities, with whole episodes are devoted to them as individuals. Keiichiro is probably the character who received the most development; in the manga, he is seen very briefly, and his only history was helping Ryou with the Mew Project.

Ichigo and Pudding's family were the only ones shown in the manga, and only briefly. In the anime, Mint and Pudding's families were given an episode each, Lettuce's family is shown briefly, and Zakuro's family and her childhood is mentioned.

Relationships between characters are also deepened. Ichigo is the only one in the manga to have a love life. Three of the five Mew Mews have an episode devoted to love lives in the anime. In the manga, it is shown briefly the Lettuce may like Ryou, but in the anime, it is given more detail. The relationship between Mint and Zakuro is also deepened; in the manga, Zakuro rarely said anything to Mint, giving the impression of ignoring her. In the anime, she appears to acknowledge Mint more, with their relationship like that of siblings.

Events are in different places; in the manga, Zakuro first faces a Chimera Anima in the dance studio. In the anime, she first sees one in a church. Events are changed; in the manga, the girls meet up before their DNA is injected. In the anime, they do not know each other until Ichigo finds out that they are Mew Mews. Some events also happen in a different order; in the anime the Blue Knight's introduction is moved to before the first Mew Aqua is found and before Ichigo and Masaya reveal their feelings for each other.

According to Mia, she was the only one who helped with the production of the anime. She was able to give her opinion on everything but the voices.

The anime series was produced by Studio Pierrot and aired on TV Aichi (broadcasts in Nagoya) and TV Tokyo (broadcasts in Tokyo) in Japan. It started airing one day after the forth volume of the Japanese manga was released, and ended on March 29, 2003. It consists of 52 half hour episodes.

Later in the series, the animation/artwork changed starting around episode 40 – the characters start to look more detailed and more bishojo/bishonen; The Mew Mew's eyes changed, and their hair color when in Mew form is brighter. The animation style experienced other minor changes during the series, but this is the most noticeable.

Ichigo: episode 7 and episode 49

Zakuro: episode 10, and episode 51

Music for the series was written and composed by Takayuki Negishi, with the cooperation of TV Aichi. The music was produced by Shin Yoshimura, NEC Interchannel. Two soundtracks based on the series were released, as well as four CD singles.

International adaptations

Tokyo Mew Mew has been translated into other languages, with the Chinese version being the first. The Italian version was very successful, having up to 1.6 million viewers, which caused the manga release to also be successful. It aired from March 1st through July of 2004. The other adaptations featured alterations, ranging from mild to severe.

Characters' names origin

The main characters in Tokyo Mew Mew are named after foods.

The Mew Mews are named after fruits – or other foods – that are similar to their signature colors: Ichigo's pink is similar to the red of a strawberry, Lettuce's green is similar to types of lettuce, Pudding's yellow is similar to the color of flan, 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. Mint is the only Mew whereas it is unclear of the connection of her signature color, blue, to the herb she is named after; however, her signature color may be referring to one of the colors of mint candies, which are made from the herb's oil.

References to foods in characters' names

The main characters in Tokyo Mew Mew have the kanji for colors in their last names, with the exception of Ichigo and Zakuro.

Ichigo's kanji (桃, momo) means "peach", and Zakuro's kanji (藤, fuji), means "wisteria". In Japanese, "pink" is called "peach color"."Peach color" (桃色, momo-iro) does not refer to the color of the peach fruit — a peach's color is called "skin color" (肌色, hada-iro). Although "Purple" has its own kanji (紫, murasaki), "light purple" is written wisteria color (藤色, fuji-iro). The kanji of the other characters' colors are also similar to traits of the characters, such as their signature color (for the Mew Mews), hair color or eye color.

Mint, Lettuce, Zakuro, Keiichiro, and Masaya also have the kanji of geographic features in their last names.

Masaya's, Keiichiro's, and Ryou's last names are also the names of districts in Tokyo: Aoyama, Akasaka, and Shirokane (Kanji is the same, pronunciation is different).

English adaptations

English manga translation

The English version of the Tokyo Mew Mew manga was released in United States by Tokyopop. It keeps the characters' original names. There are mistranslations present, but it does not affect the plot of the story. The manga is published in its original right-to-left form. It was also published in English in Singapore by Chuang Yi.

Mew Mew Power

In February 2004, 4Kids announced that they licensed Tokyo Mew Mew, but changed the name to Hollywood Mew Mew. In August 2004, they officially announced the title was Mew Mew Power. A sneak preview was shown on August 14, 2004.

Mew Mew Power features major alterations: The characters are renamed, episodes and clips are moved around, backgrounds are visibly altered, and scenes are cut — ranging from a second to more than a minute each. The 4Kids' English adaptation replaced the original background music and songs with a completely new score.

On September 5, 2007, the Mew Mew Power page on 4kids' site was removed, and on September 6, 2007, the forum was removed from 4Kids.TV, confriming that 4Kids was not able to obtain the second half. Around September 19, the Mew Mew Power page from their properties on the "4kidsentertainment.com" site was deleted, implying that they lost the rights to the first half, or it expired.

Mew Mew Power is currently being broadcasted on the Popgirl Channel in the United Kingdom.

Reception

The Japanese merchandise program consisted of over 20 licensees creating over 200 different products. Tokyo Mew Mew also was featured in a theatre seen often at malls and parks called Kigurumi, which usually promote television shows that are popular. On July 25, 2001, there was a live version of Tokyo Mew Mew called "Mew Five", who were at Tokyo Mew Mew events, as a part of the promotion of Tokyo Mew Mew. The Mew five consisted of five girls:

• Youki Yoshida (吉田有希, Yoshida Yūki) as Mew Ichigo; was age 12
• Satomi Akesaka (明坂聡美, Akesaka Satomi) as Mew Mint; was age 13
• Yurie Matsui (松井友里絵, Matsui Yurie) as Mew Lettuce; was age 13
• Ayaka Izumi (泉綾香, Izumi Ayaka) as Mew Pudding; was age 11
• Mako Sakurai (桜井真子, Sakurai Mako) as Mew Zakuro; was age 14
• Mao Mita (三田真央, Mita Mao) as Mew Zakuro (in September of 2002 the actress for Zakuro changed)

In the commentary at the end volume two, the staff of Tokyo Mew Mew actually created Ichigo's battle outfit for Youki Yoshida to wear.

The Mew Five received a lot of attention. They released a CD in July 27, 2001, with the song Mamoritaikara (Because I want to protect).

There was a Tokyo Mew Mew festival during the golden week which Ikumi attended. There a gallery, and merchandise. She created a poster featuring all 12 characters. The signing was two days long.

When 4kids announced that it licensed Tokyo Mew Mew in 2004, this caused disdain for fans of the original show. The "Mew Mew Alliance" was launched shortly afterwards, asking fans of the original show to write to 4kids to release an uncut, bilingual version, which they do not typically do.

Tokyo Mew Mew has been described as "fun and entertaining", as a great show for kids and for fans of Sailor moon. Reviewers have compared Tokyo Mew Mew to Sailor Moonsince they both have a female protagonist, five original members who have a signature color and power, and same basic plot. Because of this, Tokyo Mew Mew might be seen as a clone of Sailor Moon.

Very notable about Tokyo Mew Mew is the message of saving the environment; the Mew Mews are infused with an endangered animal's DNA, the aliens cause environmental damage, and the Mew Aquas repair said damage. However, this message does not stay throughout the series.

Publications and other media

15 CDs of Tokyo Mew Mew were released. Most of the background music was released in a two-part original soundtrack, released September 25, 2002 and January 22, 2003 respectively. The CD albums and singles contain the theme songs, the characters' image songs, transformation music, and two insert songs by Rika Komatsu — Glider and My Days (Ano Hi wo Wasurenai).Glider is used as background music for one of Ichigo's attacks. There are also games, one for Playstation, titled Tokyo Mew Mew (released December 5, 2002) and one for Game Boy Advance, titled はめパネ 東京ミュウミュウ Hamepane Tōkyō Myū Myū (Setting panels Tokyo Mew Mew) released July 11, 2002; both of them were released only in Japan.

Content notes

Name: Pudding's name – Pudding Fong (黄 歩鈴, Chinese Pinyin: Huáng Bùlíng or Huang Bu Ling, Japanese: Fon Purin) – is actually Huang Bu-ling, relating to her Chinese origin; the pun in her name relates to the fact that "Bu-ling" and "pudding" are written the same in Japanese katakana, and that flan is called pudding in Japan.

Reiko: On both the original Japanese and English manga covers, Reiko Yoshida is not mentioned. There are book covers that say Reiko helped, but Ikumi on one of the pages in the book, titled "Special Thanks!" does not credit Reiko.
