** ''Tokyo Mew Mew'' is a complicated case. In the original manga, the girls' hair always matches their [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow "signature color"]], transformed or not. In the anime, the colors were changed slightly towards the darker and less outrageous shades for the girls' regular forms, changing to their much brighter "signature colors" as they transform into their [[MagicalGirl Mew Mew]] forms. The most noticeable case is Ichigo: pink-haired in both forms in the manga, but has dark red hair and brown eyes in her regular form in the anime, which only changes to pink when she becomes Mew Ichigo. Go figure. The [[Anime/TokyoMewMewNew anime remake]] simplifies this by keeping Ichigo's red hair as a civillain but has it just brighten up to a more vibrant shade as a Mew Mew. Adding to this, her cat form and animal features were black in both the original manga and anime serries whereas in ''New'' makes them brown to better match the animal she's infused with; the Irimote Wild Catt.
