Deep Blue is a character from Tokyo Mew Mew. He is the leader of the Aliens, Kish, Tart, and Pie. He is name in unchanged in Mew Mew Power, and Profondo Blu in Mew Mew: Amiche Vincenti (Italian version).
Manga
Template:Spoiler Deep Blue is the leader of the aliens trying to take over Tokyo. His identity is shrouded in mystery until volume 6 of the manga, in which it is revealed that, like the Blue Knight, he is part of Masaya Aoyama. Unlike the kind and gentle Masaya, Deep Blue is cold, cruel and will not hesitate to hurt Ichigo or anyone else. When he tries to kill Ichigo Momomiya, he's stopped by Kish who challenges him to a duel. Deep Blue wins, but Masaya releases the Mew Aqua inside their (his own) body by stabbing himself with his own sword, reversing the damage caused by Deep Blue and defeating the alien's leader.
Anime
At the time when the Aliens release the previous Chimera Animals upon the city, Ichigo goes to stop them from stealing Masaya's spirit while the other Mew Mews handled the Chimera Animal crisis. When Kish tries to steal Masaya's spirit, it doesn't work and Masaya transforms. He doesn't turn into the Blue Knight, but goes ballistic and turns into Deep Blue. Ichigo doesn't want to fight Masaya in this form, which results in the other Mew Mews having to fight him. Deep Blue easily defeats the Mew Mews (except Ichigo) where they de-transform after blocking an attack heading toward Ichigo. Ryou Shirogane turns into Alto to get to Ichigo before he finishes her off. Deep Blue escapes upon Alto's arrival and Ichigo pursues him. She finally goes into a face-off against him trying to get Masaya from within to remember while the other Mew Mews battle against Pie and the Chimera Animal that was responsible for the death of Ryou's parents. Ichigo is losing badly until Masaya within Deep Blue begins to fight him until Deep Blue is dead and Masaya is free once Ichigo uses her finishing attack on Deep Blue. His identity is shrouded in mystery until episode 49. Deep Blue's voice is first heard on episode 2, but we don't see him until episode 26, and then only as a shadow.
Physical Description
He has distinctive long, pointy ears, and his skin is so pale it's almost white. He always wears a long, dark blue cloak that goes down to his feet, and he wears dark blue shorts under it. He seems very well-to-do with his appearance and dress.
