Tricia Takanawa is a reporter for Quahog 5 News. Her ethnicity is Japanese, and she is based on an on-the-scene reporter also played by Alex Borstein from a news segment sketch on MADtv. Tricia is usually at the scene of some unenviable news broadcasts, such as a hurricane in "One if by Clam, Two if by Sea", where she is knocked down by a flying car, the height of a flu epidemic, in which she vomits, while hung over the toilet, during the actual news report in "Stewie Loves Lois", interviewing a Renaissance Fair Jester in "Mr. Saturday Knight", and a guy who rides his ten speed in the heavy rain in "Peter's Daughter. In "Da Boom", she is eaten by Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons. Tricia also interviews the Mass Media Murderer, while he is escaping the prison, who wants to kill Chris Griffin in "To Love and Die in Dixie".

She has been known to have a major obsession with David Bowie. When she meets him in Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, she loses all control, and tells him, in a completely different voice than she usually has, then begins to dry hump his leg. Tricia also gave a makeover to Meg in "Don't Make Me Over", and was seen dancing in the musical number "Peter is Slow" in "Petarded", and she once did a three part story where she ended up having sex with Glenn Quagmire, who thought she was a "Spanish Chick".

Tricia Takanawa is the Asian reporter of Quahog 5 News on Family Guy, who works with Tom Tucker, Ollie Williams, formerly Diane Simmons and now with Joyce Kinney. She, along with her newsroom colleagues, embodies the stereotype of image-conscious news reporters who cover shallow stories and fluff articles on TV newscasts.

She is also a friend of the Griffin family and more of the various people of Quahog. Tricia has also a mother but never seems to be satisfied with her, as noted in "12 and a Half Hungry Men". Tricia is a friendly reporter with a dissonant serenity. She speaks with a slight, nasally-sounding Asian accent.

Tricia Takanawa is a Japanese woman with short black hair. She has ever so slightly yellow skin, that became more normal-colored in later seasons. She has squinted Asian eyes and red lips. She wears a blue buttoned news woman jacket shirt and underneath that, she wears a yellowish orangish shirt. She also wears a short blue skirt in the same color as her jacket shirt and she also wears a pair of black high heels. She talks with a stuffy, high-pitched, nasally voice.

Tricia is a friendly reporter with a dissonant serenity often quirky and manipulative behavior. But she's nice to help others, and her emotion is very logical and on detail and formal when she reports. But outside being a news reporter or weather reporter she's very gentle and genuine and nice even her voice is monotone and no emotion, but she still shows slight emotions through her monotone voice.

And she ends the report with lines of:

"Back to you, Tom." (Her workmate in the studio)

And

"Back to the channel 5 News studio"
