Quiche

Quiche (キッシュ, Kisshu) is one of the antagonists from the manga series Tokyo Mew Mew and its anime adaptation. He is one of the aliens who come to Earth, wishing to "reclaim it."

Appearance
Quiche is a pale-skinned alien with emerald-green hair, golden eyes, and pointed ears. His hair is short in the back with two pigtails tied with red bands in front of both ears. His eyes have slit pupils.

Quiche is mostly seen wearing an olive green crop top with poofy sleeves and a high collar with a red line on it. Over his top, he wears a brown v-neck shirt (also a crop top) that looks stitched on to the olive green top. At the bottom of his sleeves are a red lining. He also wears a pair of baggy olive green shorts that are mid-thigh with a brown loincloth, his shorts are held up by a red belt and end with a red line around the panthole.

On his arms, he wears red sarashi on his forearms and his shins. He also has two olive green ribbons that are attached to the back of his shorts.

Personality
Quiche is a very playful alien who likes toying with his main enemy, Ichigo Momomiya. He has a rather cruel sense of humor, playing with his opponents for his amusement. He is very sadistic and enjoys seeing humans in pain, both physically and mentally. He can be seen as a bit fun-loving, such as when he tries to make sure that everything amuses him.

Quiche is very possessive over anything of his, and that includes people. He has a temper and doesn't have much control when angered.

Capacities
Quiche can fly at will, teleport and do the same with people and objects, even opening dimensional portals. He is able to distort materials, as shown in episode 13 and can breathe underwater.

He can extract people's spirits and is very flexible and agile. He has excellent melee skills even though he doesn't use it often. His ability is remarkable when he faces opponents.

In Volume 5 of the manga, it is seen that he can split himself into multiple copies. Quiche also can use bursts of energy to sometimes startle an opponent, or to destroy objects in his way. (Or people)

Weapons
In the manga, Quiche uses Tonfas while in the anime he uses a pair of sai that he calls "dragon swords". He is capable of using them in both of his hands and is very well trained at using them. His is capable of using lightning along with the sais and can shock his enemies.

In the new anime, the Tonfas are used for combat during a short period of the 3rd episode. He also had a small short blade to eliminate Ichigo which does not happen because of the intervention of the other Mews.

Name Changes (Manga)
In order to make Quiche's name easier for children to pronounce, most manga translations spell it as "Kish".

Name Changes (Anime)
Despite Quiche's name being written in Katakana, indicating that his name is foreign, some dubbers have chosen to use the Japanese pronunciation of Quiche, "Kisshu", for his name. Other dubs use either the 4Kids English name or come up with their own names; For example, his Cantonese name, Hei-Si, means "cheese".

Trivia

 * In the English dub, all of the aliens were named after negative characteristics; Quiche's name, Dren, is "Nerd" backwards.
