Relationships
Berry Shirayuki: Tasuku cares deeply about Berry. They are childhood friends and are neighbours, but to Tasuku, he feels as if they practically live together. In the first chapter of Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode, Tasuku said that he wanted Berry to stay in the same school as him so they could have a "lovey-dovey" school relationship. Also, he says there was no point of her leaving, because they would just get married and live together anyway. He constantly hugs Berry so she says "he is like a monkey".
At first he thought she did not feel the same way. When he discovered Berry was a Mew Mew, he told her that it didn't bother him and he will never quit being her friend. As the story progresses, initially he tries to hide his feelings, but finally admits to himself that he is in love with Berry.
Eventually he asks her if he can stop being her "childhood friend" before kissing her, apologizing, and running away before she can answer. Berry confesses her own feelings later after she saves him from Duke and kisses him, after which he asks her to stay with him forever and she agrees.
