Ringo Akai is only found in the PlayStation videogame that was released only in Japan. She is not part of the anime or manga series. Ringo doesn&#039;t have animal DNA, but she is able to transform into a Mew via a Mew aqua necklace that she got from her mother. Her mew animal is a Hombolt penguin, and she has an older brother named Mashio.    She transforms into a Mew Mew after Kishu turns her pet penguin into a predasite.    Ringo is Ichigo&#039;s cousin, and is 10 years old.    She actually does appear in the Petite Mew Mew manga sections of the Tokyo Mew Mew Series.

Ichigo is out on a hot date with her 'crush' when suddenly she's involved in an odd incident in which her DNA is merged with the DNA of an almost extinct wildcat. When four other girls' DNA is merged with the DNA of four other almost extinct animals, it's apparent that they're part of a much bigger plan. Ichigo and her friends have been chosen to become a part of a secret project called the "Mew Project." Their mission: To protect the planet from aliens who are using the planet's animals to attack humans.<br><br>
