She is head-over-heels in love with Masaya.
Sometimes she will go crazy if she is mad or excited. Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode reveals that Ichigo lost all of her Mew Powers and joined Masaya in England, but returned to Japan when her powers began to manifest again to aid in the battle against the Saint Rose Crusaders with her new teammate Berry Shirayuki.
#THE CAT RETURNS WIKI SERIES#
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). 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. 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. Midway through the series, Ichigo gains a mysterious protector – the Blue Knight who later turns out to be Masaya. 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. When she wakes up, Masaya says she has been sleeping for hours. During the date, she passes out when she is injected and has a dream of a cat going inside her or merging with her.
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. Suddenly, there is an earthquake and then Ichigo is injected with the D.N.A of an Iriomote cat in order to save her life. In the anime, Masaya and Ichigo go to the park after going to the exhibit. She meets the future Mew Mews at the exhibit. She is attending a Red Data Animal exhibit with him (Although she believes that he is oblivious to her feelings, he later returns them and they begin dating). Ichigo is first introduced when she is on a date with her love interest, Masaya Aoyama.
