[edit] Manga

[edit] Tokyo Mew Mew

Zakuro is first seen at the museum, where she stops some girls from bullying Lettuce. Later, the girls go to a model shoot to find out if she's a Mew Mew, and she is. She transforms and fights off the crow Chimera Animal that attacks the studio, and then walks off, saying she works alone and won't join the team. This doesn't deter the girls, as they follow her to a show where she's appearing as a guest, and they fight off the Chimera Animal. Zakuro says she'll make an exception for the Mew Mews, and joins the group.

[edit] Tokyo Mew Mew A La Mode

After Ichigo returned from England, Zakuro and the others (Ichigo, Mint, Lettuce,and Pudding) meet Berry Shirayuki the newest Mew. But soon they face a new challenge called the Saint Rose Crusaders. They all transfer schools to Berry's to keep an out for the Crusaders. Later, the Crusaders brainwash the people who are fans of Tokyo Mew Mew, to believe Berry was the evil Mew Mew, ruining Tokyo Mew Mew. But the other Mew members stand by her side.

[edit] Anime

[edit] Tokyo Mew Mew

Zakuro appears in episode 10 of Tokyo Mew Mew, which consists of two episodes. The girls go to a model shoot to find out if Zakuro's a Mew Mew. Pudding interrupts by performing tricks and the agent, who speaks English, gets angry. Zakuro walks in and talks to the agent in English (In the English and Spanish dubs, she speaks in French) and the girls watch and admire her.

Mint runs over and asks if Zakuro has noticed anything strange happening lately. Zakuro walks off. The girls follow her to a church later that night and Kish attacks with a crow Chimera Animal. She drives them off and Mint calls her the fifth member of the team, but Zakuro pushes Mint away and leaves.

In the next episode, the girls go to try and convince Zakuro to join the team, but Kish comes in and traps them in a sandstorm that leads to another dimension. He says he won't bring them back unless Ichigo and Zakuro fight each other (which could be for Kish's entertainment), and the winner has to work with him. He leaves and Ichigo retreats to the cafe. She later goes back to talk to Zakuro, but Zakuro refuses to work with the people that changed her body (referring to being infused with a grey wolf). Ichigo tells Zakuro that all she wants to do is save her friends, but Zakuro has to go do her TV show.

While the show is airing, one of the workers is attacked by Kish and her soul is used for a cobra-like Chimera Animal. Ichigo tries to fight but is slammed into a wall and constricted by the Chimera Animal. Ichigo tells Zakuro to run because she's a friend. She tries to attack Kish but her powers don't seem to work. Zakuro transforms and appears in the other dimension and uses her whip to get the girls back to the real world (like "ripping" through the dimension) . After they get back, their weapons resonate and Ichigo defeats the Chimera Animal. Zakuro says she doesn't like friends, but will consider it this time, and joins the group.

[edit] Mew Mew Power

In Mew Mew Power, Renee is a bit more antisocial and sarcastic.

[edit] Personality

Zakuro is a beautiful model who seems cruel and cold on the, but is helpful and intelligent when she feels she needs to be. At Cafe Mew Mew, Zakuro is cold and antisocial to the customers. She is very shrewd and insightful. She is curious about the aliens reason for coming here and of how they really feel. She is always willing to test the virtues and commitment of the other Mews, whether they believe it to be cruel or not. She is also a very quiet girl, like Lettuce, but her actions speak louder than her words.

Mew Zakuro with her Zakuro whip

[edit] Tokyo Mew Mew

Weapon: Zakuro Whip
Attack: Ribbon Zakuro, Spear! (Can also be translated as "Ribbon Zakuross Pure" and variations of that)

Zakuro's attack is mistranslated in the English manga, mostliy liely to how "spear" is written in katakana, (スピル supiru), which sounds closer to "pure".

The pun of her weapon in the Japanese version is quite vague; it comes out to something like a cross between "zakuro" and "cross" (クロス kurosu), making it "Zakurosu-uippu" (ザクロスウイップ) which roughly translates to "Zacross Whip" (Zakuro Cross Whip). This can also be taken to mean "Zakuro's Whip" (see above attack name dispute).
