[edit] History

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Keiichiro appeared in the first episode of the Tokyo Mew Mew anime and the first chapter of the Tokyo Mew Mew manga. He works at the Cafe Mew Mew as the manager and chef and personally creates most of the desserts served. He is charming, tactful, kind, and sensitive, the foil to the blunt and brusque Ryou Shirogane. Like Ryou, Keiichiro is attractive and very popular with young women. He also calms Ichigo Momomiya down after she gets mad at Ryou.

In the past Keiichiro worked as an assistant of Ryou's father, Dr. Shirogane, and befriended Ryou. After Ryou's parents were killed by the ancient Chimera found by Dr. Shirogane, Keiichiro went back to Japan with Ryou in order to help him complete the Mew Project.
