Tokyo Mew Mew New Season 2 Reveals Cast for Pudding Fong’s Mother

Another legacy cast member from the Tokyo Mew Mew anime is coming back to voice the parent of their previous character in Tokyo Mew Mew New season 2. Hisayo Mochizuki previously provided the voice of Pudding Fong/Mew Pudding in the original, and is now set to return as Pudding’s mother. 

Prior to this we learned that Saki Nakajima, who previously voiced protagonist Ichigo Momomiya in the original series, is returning, this time to voice Ichigo’s mother in Tokyo Mew Mew New. Nakajima is acting alongside Satoshi Hino, who has been cast as Ichigo’s father. 

Serving as the 20th anniversary project for the series, Tokyo Mew Mew New is being directed by Takahiro Natori (Cannon Busters), with Yuka Yamada (Black Butler) on series composition and Satoshi Ishino (Date A Live) handling character designs at Yumeta Company x Graphinica.

Kodansha Comics publishes the original Tokyo Mew Mew manga in English and describes it as such:

On her first date with the cutest boy in school, Ichigo is exposed to a mysterious ray that meshes her DNA with that of the endangered Iriomote wildcat. She soon discovers that she has developed superhuman abilities and enhanced agility. Her new powers are put to the test when she leads a team with four other girls, each endowed with special abilities of their own. Together, they must now protect the Earth from an alien menace known as Deep Blue.
