Tasuku Meguro

Tasuku Meguro (目黒 侑) is a character from Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode. Unlike Berry, he does not appear on the last page and volume of Tokyo Mew Mew.

History
He is Berry Shirayuki's friend from childhood. When her mother died, he found her crying behind the church because her mother always hugged her and she was upset that no one would hug her anymore. Because of this, he promised to give her a hug every day and he never broke that promise. Every morning he arrives at her house and gives her a hug, even if it annoys Berry (which could mean she has forgotten Tasuku's promise). In Volume 2, he is hypnotized by the Duke and runs away. He acts very cold and dressed in black. Berry, who has at this point fallen in love with him, kisses him to bring him back to his senses. After this they become boyfriend and girlfriend and start Cafe Mew Mew's rollerblading delivery service.

Tasuku has a lot of energy and appears to be obsessed with Berry because he likes to walk her home, and he jumps into her window every morning, to give her a hug. This could all go back to his promise to Berry, which would most likely keep her happy. In Volume 1, he makes Berry skip school when she pretends to have a headache to go on a date. He does this because Berry was acting weird after she got her powers. When he realizes that she is normal, he goes to get a drink, and Berry transforms to fight the evil. At first, Tasuku does not notice the fact that Berry is a Mew Mew, but he ends up seeing her tail, which was sticking out of her skirt. Soon after he discovers the truth when she must transform again to fight another Chimera Anima.

Tasuku also tries to protect Berry during the time when the Saint Rose Crusaders tried to get her blood. He borrowed a school uniform from the drama room to sneak into the girls-only school without being suspected.

Tasuku is always on his roller blades, and he always wears a jacket. Tasuku cares a lot about Berry, and even though they were once childhood friends, he secretly loves her.
