Blue Knight

''"I am the one who was born only to protect thee." - To Ichigo.'' The Blue Knight (青の騎士, Ao no Kishi) is an unknown alien male introduced at the end of the fourth volume of the manga when he suddenly appears to rescue Ichigo during a battle with Quiche. He tells Ichigo that he "is hers" and that he was "born to protect her". (You could take this literally, for this persona of Masaya was born out of his desire to protect Ichigo.)

Tokyo Mew Mew
After his first appearance, the Blue Knight reappeared whenever Ichigo was in danger—fighting with an unnamed sword and disappearing soon after. As the series progresses, Ichigo attempts to learn his true identity, suspecting both Ryou and Keiichiro at one point, before learning near the end of the series that he is an alternate persona of her boyfriend, Masaya Aoyama.

The good persona, which had no memory until Masaya transformed to protect Ichigo in front of her, was created out of his desire to protect Ichigo. After his true identity is revealed, the Blue Knight, now knowing he is Masaya, goes with Mew Ichigo to fight together with the other Mew Mews. There is it revealed that Masaya/Blue Knight is are both alternate personalities of their worst enemy Deep Blue. The Blue Knight's consciousness disappears after Masaya's instinctive spiritual possession by his darker innermost self Deep Blue.

Appearance
The Blue Knight is a fair-skinned humanoid alien with long blonde hair tied into a low ponytail and bright blue eyes. He has pointed ears and wears a long blue coat that is unbuttoned from the waist down, revealing a pair of shorts and blue boots.

Personality
The Blue Knight is a useful ally who offers encouragement to the Mews and is very knowledgeable about the weaknesses of the various Chimera Animas they fight.

He is very protective of Ichigo and will do anything and everything in his power to keep her safe.
