Dong Jing Mao Mao

东京貓貓/Dong Jing Mao Mao (written as Tokyo Mew Mew by Mandarin fans but it literally translates to Tokyo Cats) is the Mandarin Chinese dub of Tokyo Mew Mew. All of the dialogue is an almost exact translation of the original Japanese and there are no cuts or edits done to the show. The opening, ending and all insert songs stay in Japanese.

This version was dubbed in Taiwan (quite a few people in Taiwan can speak Chinese in both the Mandarin and Taiwanese dialects. Most Mandarin dubs are dubbed in Taiwan).

Home Video Release
All 52 episodes of the Mandarin dub were released on both DVD and VCD in Taiwan and China. The VCDs came in 13 volumes with 2 discs (4 episodes) each. All 13 volumes were later released in 2 VCD boxsets. All releases have hardcoded Chinese subtitles that can't be removed.



Name Changes
The names of the Mew Mews weren't actually changed but are Mandarin translations/pronunciations of their Japanese names, since most of their names are written from kanji which is borrowed from the Chinese writing system (e.g.: Mei/Xiao-Mei means Strawberry and TaoGong is the Mandarin pronounciation of the kanji characters that spell Momomiya).
