Mint is the first member of Tokyo Mew Mew to be discovered by Mew Ichigo.

History

Mew Mint on the cover of the Tokyo Mew Mew manga vol.2Mint is a rich girl who was used to the lifestyle until she became infused with the DNA of a Blue Lorikeet. At first she is shocked and has no idea what to do and Ichigo guides her along. But quickly accepts her being a Mew Mew and realizes the tasks she needs to do.

Tokyo Mew Mew

Mint Aizawa (Corina Bucksworth)Mint's introduction in episode two ("A new comrade – Justice lies in a real lady ~Nya!") is a little different from her manga introduction. Ichigo never meets her and her other comrades until this episode. Mint gives her a handkerchief after her dog, Mickey, licks Ichigo's face, and Ichigo later follows her to her house when Masha detects something strange; she was going to look for a Chimera Anima, not to find out if Mint is the second Mew Mew. Also, Ryou never tells Ichigo that Mint is her comrade - it only becomes apparent when her Mew Mark is revealed before the battle when her dress was ripped in the back.

Ikumi's name is written 征海.In the anime Mint's ballet school is called the Ikumi Ballet Group. This is a reference to Mia Ikumi.

Mew Mew Power
Corina also appears in the second episode of the anime, called "Mew Two" (which may be a reference to the Pokémon Mewtwo, as Pokémon was dubbed by the same company, 4Kids). There are a couple of differences and additions, but it is relatively the same. For instance, the first and last part of Mint's transformation are omitted and her lines are changed. Her character changes slightly, for she acts like a bit of a neat freak and is more obsessed about not talking to people below her social rank.

Personality

Mint with her dog Mickey.Mint can be mean, lazy, snobbish, and at times, very sarcastic. One of the only people Mint is nice to is Zakuro Fujiwara, as she admires Zakuro very much. Her favorite thing in the world is her pet dog Mickey, whom she really cares for. Mint enjoys having her afternoon tea and rarely helps out at the cafe. Although Mint may seem like a snob, she really is empathetic, brave and a nice person and cares about her friends. Her feelings are very important to her and can easily be hurt. She is often seen drinking tea at work, calling it her "daily ritual", instead of helping others.

Family
Mint's family is rich and lives in a mansion. Her mother and father are almost never home, and her grandmother has to look after her.

She has a brother named Seiji Aizawa (藍沢誓司, Aizawa Seiji?) who appeared in episode nine, and not in the manga. He is older, and more serious then Mint. He doesn't spend much time with her, because he has to deal with some important and difficult things, like business. Because of this, he once called Mint "lucky", because she only does ballet. The Mews met him in the episode, but he didn't pay much attention, due to him being busy. When Mint was to perform ballet, she wanted Seiji to come, but he was busy again and couldn't attend, even the Mews tried to persuade him. When he finally came, however, Mint told him to get back to work, making him angry. As Seiji was leaving, a Chimera Anima attacked them. Mint scolded the monster for hurting her brother, who tried to protect her. After she and Mew Ichigo defeated the Chimera Anima, Seiji gave his sister some flowers to show he still cares for her.

Romanization
In the Japanese version of the manga, Mint's name is written in katakana and hiragana. When she is in Mew form, her name is written in katakana, and when she is "normal", her name is written in hiragana. This was most likely done so that she can hide her identity as Mew Mint, and for emphasis, as it is common to write Japanese words in katakana.Due to the difference being different writing systems, this was omitted in the English version of the manga, as English has only one writing system.
