Tricia Takanawa is an Asian reporter for Quahog 5 News. She gets all of the coverage out of the studio. Once did a three part story where she ended up having sex with Quagmire. In FG401 "North by North Quahog," she is not allowed into Mel Gibson's hotel because of her ethnicity. She attempts to sneak in at the end of the episode, but fails. In FG203 "Da Boom" she is eaten by Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons, however the episode is considered non-canon since it featured the world being destroyed by nuclear weapons from Y2K. Her ethnicity is Japanese. She is based off of an on-the-scene reporter (played by Alex Borstein) from a news segment sketch on Mad TV, although her speech pattern is also reminiscent of Larraine Newman's super-serious reporter at the Blaine Hotel from Season One of Saturday Night Live. Tricia is usually at the scene of some unenviable news broadcasts, such as a hurricane (where she is knocked down by a flying car), the height of a flu epidemic, in which she vomits, while hung over the toilet, during the actual news report and a guy who rides his ten speed in the heavy rain. Tricia is the most prominent Asian character on Family Guy.
She has been known to have a major obsession with 80s alternative singer David Bowie. When she meets him in Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, she loses all control, and tells him, in a completely different Asian voice then she usually has, "Oh! Make love to me Ziggy Stardust! I take you home! I make you fish ball soup! FISH BALL!" She then begins to dry hump his leg, to which Tom Tucker replies "Thank you Tricia, for setting your people back a thousand years". Tricia has also been seen giving a makeover to Meg, and dancing in the musical number Peter is Slow. She appears on the Family Guy Vol. 3 boxset cover.
