Main
Tokyopop is an USA company which publish & translate the Tokyo Mew Mew Mangas into English. Whats good about the TMM mangas they publish is that they were publish after Tokyopop introduces 100% authentic manga style (i.e. right to left format), however they did not introduce honorifics in the manga which is too bad.
Original names to Tokyopop names ~ Bold names are the original names & italic are Tokyopop's names & I usually write the surname first, but because I am writing in the English way, so I have now wrote the surname last.
Ichigo Momomiya ~ Ichigo Momomiya
Minto Aizawa ~ Mint Aizawa
Retasu Midorikawa ~ Lettuce Midorikawa
Purin Fon ~ Pudding Fong
Zakuro Fujiwara ~ Zakuro Fujiwara
Berii Shirayuki ~ Berry Shirayuki

Keiichiro Akasaka ~ Keiichiro Akasaka

Most of the names are kept the same, the names which are different are Tokyopop's translations of their names into English to re-name the characters. For Example Retasu means lettuce, Purin means Pudding, Pai means Pie etc... All the characters surnames are kept the same except for Purin�s.
