Ichigo Momomiya

Ichigo Momomiya, also known as Mew Ichigo and Zoey Hanson, is the main protagonist from the Tokyo Mew Mew series.
== Charactah Account ==
Ichigo was just a normal 13-year-old junior high student who was on a date with Aoyama Masaya until her DNA is mysteriously merged with the DNA of an Iriomote Wildcat. Now she is the "leader" of a group of girls, whose DNA were also merged with that of an endangered species, called Tokyo Mew Mew. The Mew Mews have to save the world from Chimera Animas, the aliens, and the alien leader, Deep Blue. Originally, Ichigo wants nothing to do with the "Mew Project", instead wishing to simply spend time with her crush, Masaya. Later, she grudgingly accepts her fate, realizing what she is (a Mew) and the importance of the task assigned to her.
Ichigo has some aspects of the typical magical girl heroine personality: sweet and caring, shy around her love interest, prone to overlooking things the more perceptive and more intelligent can see, and is overactive when she is mad or excited. Ichigo reacts very angrily whenever a loved one is hurt, and dislikes being treated like an object, hence her reaction to Kishu. Ichigo tends to go dreamy and blushes when in the presence of her crush, Masaya, typically head over heels, and she occasionally becomes confused with her feelings, and is prone to act rashly. Many times, she puts her own relationship before saving the world. Overall, she is a friendly person who's willing to give second chances to the people she likes.
She is injected with the DNA of an Iriomote Wildcat. Later she finds herself acting like, instead of a wildcat, an ordinary housecat and, remembering the dream sequence of a cat jumping into her body when she was injected, realizes something has happened to her.

== Trivia ==
* In an episode of Mew Mew Power, Ichigo said that she was not a good dancer. She provided evidence for this when she revealed that, when she attempted to do the famous Macarena dance, she sent five people to the emergency room, just by dancing.
* The Iriomote cat (Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis) is a subspecies of leopard cat endemic to Iriomote Island. It is classified as "critically endangered" on the IUCN Red List, with an average population of under 250.
** It was initially classified as a separate species, but mtDNA analysis in the 1990s led to its reclassification as a subspecies.
* Ichigo is the only Mew Mew who needed some help for her mutation to speed up. All the other Mew Mews' mutations are all complete and they are either unaware of the mutation (Minto and Bu-Ling) or they found out how to unlock it (Retasu and Zakuro).
* Ichigo is the only member of the group whose garter is placed on her right leg, whereas the other members' garters are placed on their left leg. In à la Mode, Mew Berry also has her garter on her right leg, which may mean it signifies that they are the leaders of Tokyo Mew Mew.
* Ichigo's transformation phrase and attack is the only one not including her name, hers being "Mew Mew Strawberry Metamorphose" and "Ribbon Strawberry Check", while the other Mew Mews have their names included in their transformation phrase and attack. (The reason for this is because her name "Ichigo" is the Japanese translation of strawberry).
* Despite popular belief, she and Ringo Akai are not related in any way, despite having a few similarities.
* Ichigo is afraid of ghosts, as seen in episode 3.
