[edit] History

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Kish appears in episode 3 of the Tokyo Mew Mew anime and volume 2 of the Tokyo Mew Mew manga.. Kish's race originally lived on Earth, but it became uninhabitable so they moved to another planet. However, this planet was even worse. All the aliens were forced to live underground for thousands of years. They finally came back to Earth, only to find that it had been taken over by humans. It is unknown how the humans ended up on planet earth.

Kish came to Tokyo to operate his plan of taking over Earth to save his dying race. The only thing that stands in his way are the five Mew Mews, called Tokyo Mew Mew. Later, when Masaya turns out to be Deep Blue, Kish assists Ichigo in the fight against him. However, Deep Blue stabs him, and Kish dies, but Ichigo manages to defeat Deep Blue. Kish is revived at the end of the battle.

When the three aliens are about to go back home, Kish says he'd finally gotten over Ichigo.

[edit] Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode

In Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, Kish makes a small appearance when he sneezes on his planet after Mint mentions him on Earth. In Japan, it is believed that if you sneeze, it means someone is talking about you.

[edit] Mew Mew Power

In the English dubbed anime, Dren's reason to take over Earth is different from the manga and original Japanese dub: The planet he lived on was not Earth and was a separate planet. It was becoming uninhabitable, so he, Tarb, Sardon, and Deep Blue attempted to take over Earth.

Dren also says more Mew Mew puns than he does in Tokyo Mew Mew. There are also several other alterations to him.

[edit] Appearance

Kish and his race of aliens have distinctive pair of big, pointy, elf-like ears. He wears a baggy shirt that shows his belly and baggy shorts that go down to about his knees, and his fore arms and shins are wrapped in dark red bandages. He has fangs that show whenever he opens his mouth. His two companions include Pie and Tart (Sardon and Tarb in Mew Mew Power).

[edit] Personality

Kish cares a lot about the people on the planet and is very passionate.

In the anime however, Kish turns out to be a slightly more violent and driven individual. Though he remains preoccupied about things concerning his goals, and displays moments of caring, he is very obsessive over things he wants and cannot have immediately (i.e. Ichigo, for one thing). He enjoys wreaking havoc upon humans and those who oppose him, yet not quite to a sadistic extreme, perhaps because he is always stopped before he goes too far. He will fight anyone opposing him to the end, even when his enemy is unable to continue. This may also mean he is practical. Kish in the anime is rash at times, but he is militarily intelligent when it comes to devicing plans, not quite as structured as Pie's, but all the same valuable assets when it comes to fighting the Mew Mews. Kish also likes to be in the lead, accepting the position of subordinate only in special circumstances (and yet he still occasionally defies Deep Blue in speech and actions). His resistance also lies in some mistrust of Deep Blue as Deep Blue never shows himself, and though this suspicion was dismissed as egotism by his comrades for the greater part of the anime, the alien's suspicions proved true when Deep Blue turned out to be a destructive force that aimed to destroy the Earth, rather than helping Kish and his people reclaim it for themselves. Kish in the the anime and manga seem to have moments in which they appear dark and purely evil, but this appears to be only a reaction to certain circumstances.

[edit] Profile

Name Translation: His name is not Japanese, but he named after an unfamiliar food item, Quiche.
Name Pronounciation: Kee-shoo (romanization of Quiche)
English Name Origin: Backwards spelling of nerd.

Height: About 178 cm (about 6'3 in Mew Mew Power)
Weight: Unknown
Blood Type: Unknown
Hair Color: Dark green

Love Interest: Ichigo Momomiya, but a rather complicated one, as it differs between the anime and the manga.

In the anime, Kish first meets Ichigo in a park. Attracted by her cuteness, he leaped off the roof of a building and surprised her with a kiss on the lips (and it hasn't been the last). At first, Kish sees her as a toy he could hug and kiss, but later fell in love with her, despite her constant rejections and her obvious love and loyalty toward Masaya Aoyama. Kish has tried numerous times to make Ichigo "his", including trying to kill her boyfriend, Masaya Aoyama (Mark in Mew Mew Power). Near the end of the anime, Kish threatens to murder Ichigo if she doesn't become his. When the three aliens are about to go back home, Kish says he'd finally gotten over Ichigo.

In the manga, he confesses his love to Ichigo, asking "What can I do to make you love me?" But in the end, he realizes that Ichigo loves Masaya, and finally accepts it. He ends up returning to his planet with Pie and Tart and openly accepting that he and Ichigo were never meant to be.

[edit] Weapons and Abilities

Kish is one of the three aliens; Kish's main weapons are Dragon Swords, which he slashes at the Mew Mews. These swords resemble sais, but are not handled as such. He can also conjure up Chimera Animals and has the ability to fly and teleport.

[edit] Trvia

Many fans believe he is obsessive of Ichigo, but this is not correct when reffering to his manga self, especially since he gives her up in the end. Overall, he is quite loving and caring, but sometimes quite forceful.
