Tasuku Meguro is the best friend and love interest of Berry Shirayuki in Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode. According to the character infobox that appears when he is introduced, Tasuku is twelve-years-old and lives by the motto that "Berry is my priority". According to several flashback sequences and conversations between Tasuku and Berry, they have lived beside each other since they were born, and have been best friends all their lives. He sneaks into Berry's room every morning to give her a hug, a practice he started to take the place of Berry's mother after she died. During the events of a la Mode, after Berry transfers to a private junior high school an hour's subway ride away, Tasuku worries about how she will adjust and begins roller blading to her school each afternoon so he can wait for her after school.
