Miwa Honjo (jpn. 本条 みわ Honjō Miwa) is a supporting character in the manga and anime series Tokyo Mew Mew.
Story[]
Miwa is one of Ichigo's best friends and her classmate, along with Moe Yanagida, who she is rarely seen apart from. She and Moe appear in most episodes of the 2002 anime, usually either at school or hanging out with Ichigo. In episode 23, she develops a crush on Keiichiro Akasaka after they meet at a tea shop. She and Moe (who has a crush on Ryou Shirogane) are encouraged by Ichigo to make gifts for the boys to win their hearts. Despite all the effort they put into their gifts, the girls are rejected and their hearts are broken.
In the same episode, Quiche would steal Moe and Miwa's spirits in order to create a pair of Chimera Anima lovebirds, which are then defeated by Mew Ichigo. Upon recovering, Moe and Miwa learn that Ryou and Keiichiro appreciate the gifts. Still infatuated with the boys, Moe and Miwa vow to open a fan club for them.
Despite their close friendship, Moe never finds out that Ichigo is a Mew Mew.
Appearance and personality[]
Miwa has large blue-grey eyes and a brown pixie cut. She's light-skinned and roughly the same height as Ichigo.
Much like Moe, Miwa is an optimist with a bright outlook on life. She is fully supportive of Ichigo and Masaya's relationship, often accompanying Ichigo to Masaya's kendo matches. In Mew Mew Power, she acts somewhat harsh and rude towards Zoey (Ichigo), often poking fun at her friend and getting Zoey worked up.
In the 2002 anime she shows an interest in poetry, and in the 2022 anime she expresses a desire to become an author.
