Mew Marks

Mew Marks are the marks people get when their DNA gets merged with an animal's. Ichigo Momomiya, Minto Aizawa, Retasu Midorikawa, Bu-Ling Huang, Zakuro Fujiwara and Ryou Shirogane all have the marks. Oddly, Berry Shirayuki has had her DNA merged with two animals, but it is unknown where her mew mark is. Some fans assume that she was too close to the injection gun at the time of her DNA infusion and as a result had the DNA entered her body directly without leaving a mark.

For the most part, the marks appear to be positioned on the midline of the characters' bodies. Ryou and Ichigo may seem like special cases, but Ryou's apparent mark is located on his neck, and is apparently symmetrical, similar to Ichigo's which is located on her inner thigh. If either character were to stand in a standard anatomical position (feet flat, palms forward), the mark is seen to be on the midline of the body as well.

In Mew Mew Power, most of the time, the mew marks were erased. Ichigo's was erased in the first episode, but when it appeared in the second episode, it was lower down on her leg. The reason is probably that 4Kids believed them to be tattoos, and didn't wish to encourage this matter to the children, who were watching the show.

Ichigo Momomiya
Ichigo's mark is a pink heart with four whiskers underneath, located on the inside of her right thigh.

Minto Aizawa
Minto's mark is shaped like a pair of bird wings, located on her back between her shoulder-blades.

Retasu Midorikawa
Retasu's mark is shaped like a pair of fish, resembling the western horoscope; Pisces. It is located on her chest.

Bu-Ling Huang
Bu-Ling's mark is shaped like two monkey tails, located on her forehead.

Zakuro Fujiwara
Zakuro's mark is shaped like a pair of wolf ears, located around her navel.

Ryou Shirogane
Ryou's mew mark is on his neck. However, he is always hiding it with the collars on his shirts, so it is never seen.

Ringo Akai
It is unlikely that Ringo has a marking on her body.

Berry Shirayuki
The location of Berry's mark remains unknown. It has been speculated by fans that because of her proximity to the injection gun, her animals' DNA passed directly into her body without leaving a proper mark.
