Zakuro Fujiwara (藤原 ざくろ Fujiwara Zakuro?) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Tokyo Mew Mew. Zakuro is known as Renée Roberts in Mew Mew Power.
Zakuro appears in volume two of the manga, and in episode ten of Tokyo Mew Mew. Zakuro was a normal model and famous singing idol, until she became infused with the DNA of a Gray wolf. The Mews are excited to find the last Mew, but she did not want to join the Mew Mews because she prefers to be alone. She later changes her mind and joins the Mews, saying she will make an exception for them. She is more of a minor character; very little of her history is revealed, and she rarely talks, giving the impression being anti-social.
Zakuro is very different in the anime. She shows a softer side when she meets Momoka. She sees Momoka as when she was younger. She remembers her childhood, how her parents were never home. In episode 42, Zakuro reads a letter from her family, suggesting she doesn't associate with her family due to an incident, according to the letter:
"To my dear Zakuro. It's been almost two years since you left home. [...] We don't know if you ever forgave us for what happened back then, yet we're waiting for you to return whenever it might be."
In the flashback, Zakuro is shown crying over a man's body, saying "Why didn't you believe me?" It is unclear who the man is, as it could either be her father or another person who meant much to her. However according to what Zakuro says in episode 43, it suggests that the man in her flashback is someone she loved.
"I often go to that church to visit someone important to me, someone important who I’ve lost... Confused by what others said, we doubted each other even at the last moment."
Other than this, little is known about Zakuro's family. As Zakuro is shown going to a church, wearing a cross necklace, and her weapon is shaped like a cross, it is implies that she is Christian.
In Mew Mew Power, Zakuro/Renee is a bit more antisocial, grouchy, and sarcastic. She also seems a bit careless of her work as a Mew or waitress at Cafe Mew Mew. What was changed is that when the agent speaks in episode ten, he speaks French, and when Renee speaks to him, she speaks French as well. Also, her cross necklace was edited and scenes where she was praying in the church were removed.
