Ringo is a character in the Tokyo Mew Mew video game for PlayStation that was only released in Japan. She is never included in the actual manga series as a Mew Mew, but appears in the bonus story Petite Mew Mew at the end of Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode volume two, and has her own bio page near the end of Tokyo Mew Mew volume six. In the videogame, the Mew Mews meet Ringo while visiting a nature reserve island. Ringo has an older brother named Mashio (赤井 真潮, Akai Mashio), who is a ranger on the reserve and bears a resemblance to Masaya Aoyama (he is also voiced by the same seiyū, Megumi Ogata). Her Mew Aqua pendant necklace was given to her by her mother who passed away.
In the video game Ringo lives with her brother Mashio after their mother died. There is no mention of her father. After Ringo's pet penguin Yuki-chan (this name means "snow") turns into a Chimera Anima, the pendant containing Mew Aqua on her necklace is activated and allows her to transform. Name Translation: "りんご Ringo" - Apple, "赤 Aka" - Red, "井 i" - Well. When her name is given in Eastern order, it translates directly to mean "red apple", which may have been intended as a pun. Ringo is not infused with the Red Data Animal DNA like the other Mew Mews. Her necklace contains Mew Aqua that allows her to transform into a Mew Mew. She represents the Humboldt Penguin. Her attack is actually a healing technique. She can somehow understand all animals, not just penguins.
