Ichigo Momomiya (jpn. 桃宮 いちご Momomiya Ichigo) is a character from the manga and anime series Tokyo Mew Mew, and the main protagonist and heroine of the story. She is the first of the Mew Mews to be introduced and her D.N.A is merged with an Iriomote cat.

Tokyo Mew Mew/Mew Mew Power Ichigo is first introduced when she is on a date with her love interest, Masaya Aoyama. She is attending a Red Data Animal exhibit with him[1]. She meets the future Mew Mews at the exhibit[2].

In the anime, Masaya and Ichigo go to the park after going to the exhibit. Suddenly, there is an earthquake and then Ichigo is injected with the D.N.A of an Iriomote cat. Later on, she begins having cat-like aspects, such as eating a lot of fish, being more acrobatic (as in she can land on her feet like a cat does), and sleeping more than average. During the date, she passes out when she is injected and has a dream of a cat going inside her or merging with her. When she wakes up, Masaya says she has been sleeping for hours. A bit later Masaya is then attacked by a Chimera Anima and Ryou Shirogane gives her a Mew Pendant and encourages her to transform into Mew Ichigo.

Midway through the series, Ichigo gains a mysterious protector – the Blue Knight who later turns out to be Masaya. Throughout the series, Ichigo repeatedly rejects repeated advances by Quiche, one of her enemies, but, even though she could not accept his final declaration of love, she cried and held him when he died, showing how kind Ichigo is.

Ichigo dies while transferring her own life force into Masaya after Masaya sacrifices himself to kill Deep Blue, another one of her enemies, but is subsequently revived by the Mew Aqua in Masaya. Later on, Masaya decides to go to study aboard in England at the end of the series; but before he goes, Ichigo participates in a mock wedding with Masaya (manga only).

Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode In the sequel, it's revealed that Ichigo has decided to join Masaya in England. She returns to Tokyo partway through the series to aid her teammates (and the new Mew Mew, Berry Shirayuki) in the battle against the Saint Rose Crusaders. Her powers have deteriorated since the final fight against Deep Blue, leaving her temporarily unable to transform into Mew Ichigo.

Personality Ichigo is a sweet girl who is ready for just about anything life throws at her. Though kind-hearted, compassionate, and eager to help others, she is also hot-headed and, for better or worse, tends to wear her emotions on her sleeve. She isn't afraid of confronting bullies and standing up for others who've been wronged. Ichigo is, however, completely terrified of ghosts, to the point that Minto had to drag her around on a leash and force her to explore a supposedly haunted school. She is head-over-heels in love with Masaya Aoyama and often frets over his opinion of her, even having nightmares about him finding out she's a Mew Mew. Her favorite foods are waffles with maple syrup, pizza, fish, dried bonito, and strawberries. She dislikes carrots.

In Mew Mew Power, she is noticeably snarkier and less tactful.

Zoey(Mew Mew 2) Mew Ichigo

Civilian Ichigo has red hair. She normally has it in pigtails tied up in red ribbons. She wears a red ribbon with a bell on it around her neck (given to her by Masaya), and is usually found wearing her school uniform such as a black and light gray sailor dress with a red ribbon tied two white blouse short sleeves with black and white lines and a light gray ribbon on. When not, she is often seen wearing a yellow shirt and red shorts.

Café Mew Mew She wears a red dress with a white, heart-shaped apron and pink and white ribbons. She also wears pink socks and laces with black shoes. Instead of pigtails, Ichigo's hair is clipped with a lace headband and let down.

Mew Mew When Ichigo is transformed, her hair and eyes turn bright bubblegum pink and she grows black cat ears and a tail. Her tail has a dark pink ribbon tied around it with a bell. Her hair is let down and is curlier than her civilian form's. She wears a short light pink dress with matching arm garters and a leg garter on her right thigh, along with a choker around her neck. Her gloves are dark pink and reach to her wrists. Her boots are dark pink with black laces and end just below her knees. She has dark pink lace lining the top of her dress and the top and bottom of her arm garters, leg garter, and her choker. Her choker has her Mew Pendant dangling from it.

Her Mew Marks is a pink version of the imprint on her Mew Pendant on the inside of her right thigh.

Feline Form When transformed into a full cat, she has black fur with pink paw pads and pink inside her ears. She maintains her pink eyes and tail ribbon from her Mew Mew form and the ribbon choker from her civilian form.

Mew Mew New Her outfit remains the same aside from a few upgrades and different color palette. Her Mew Pendant is no longer in place of a red ribbon with pink heart gem in the middle. Her red garter now has a ribbon attached, and her gloves has a white band with a small pink heart gem. Her red hair is also noticeably feral-like in-appearance in both her human and Mew New forms.

Abilities As a Civilian She is full of energy, agile and enduring even in her civil form. In one episode, Ichigo joins the rhythmic gymnastics team at her school where she improved her stamina, agility, flexibility and reflexes. Sometimes her enhanced Mew Mew abilities (jumping high, landing on her feet) manifests in normal form, without her controlling it. She has some hand-to-hand skill that is combined with her acrobatic skills giving a combat advantage. She knows how to swim.

As a Mew Mew Ichigo is the leader of the Mew Mews. Ryou Shirogane, a wealthy, 15-year-old boy, gave Ichigo her Mew Pendant so she could transform into Mew Ichigo. Later on in Tokyo Mew Mew, Ichigo meets a grey cat called Alto, who was actually Ryou as a cat, who first finds Ichigo's lost choker. Her D.N.A is infused with the Iriomote cat. Her transformation phrase is Mew Mew Strawberry... Metamorphose, and she transforms into Mew Ichigo. At first, Ichigo constantly frets that Masaya would not return her feelings due to her powers, but when he did find out, he didn't mind. She first transforms when Ryou pushes her out of a tree. Ichigo's powers are love-based and emotion-fueled. She transforms partially (cat ears and tail appearing) when she is excited or embarrassed.

Feeling Frisky Ichigo, with her ears and tail popped out during an argument with Ryou.

If she is very excited or embarrassed she turns into a small black cat and must kiss another animal or human in order to return to normal.

With the D.N.A of an Iriomote cat, Ichigo is granted certain cat-like abilities. One is being able to land easily after falling from a great distance. Another is being able to predict the weather.

Transformation Mew Mew Ichigo's transformation is the most elaborate sequence out of the five team members. It begins with her Mew Pendant glowing with a burst of rainbow light. The next scene shows Ichigo in a curled up position, surrounded by the power of the Mew pendant with her DNA morphing in the background. She then throws her arms upward and twirls around in a burst of sparkles and her Mew uniform appears on her body in a swirl of pink energy. Her tail pops out and her gloves dissolve onto her hands. Finally, her ears sprout from her head and she concludes the transformation by gracefully lifting her leg and sending a stream of sparkles from her hand, which spirals around and dissolves into her choker and Mew Pendant. She then strikes her signature pose.
