Tokyo Mew Mew

Thirteen-year-old Ichigo Momomiya gets a hot date-school dreamboat Masaya Aoyama. Unfortunately during the date she's zapped by a strange ray that scrambles her DNA with that of an endangered species. She is mixed with the Iriomote wildcat, giving her great agility, cute ears, and a tail. She can then transform into pink-haired super heroine Mew Mew Ichigo. It turns out that (similar to Sailor Moon) she's one of a team of five girls selected to protect the Earth from the mysterious alien known as Deep Blue. Each girl is endowed with color coding, special powers, and the cutest attributes of an animal from the "Red Data" list. Ichigo (whose name means strawberry) and her colleagues Mew Mint, Mew Lettuce, Mew Pudding, and Mew Zakuro (pomegranate) each get individual transformation sequences, magical weapons, and special powers. Guided by their magical companion, cute pink robot Masha, they set out to help save the Earth and its endangered creatures in a show based on the manga by Mia Ikumi and Reiko Yoshida.
