'''Amber''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|アイ|Ai}}''' '' | '''Amber''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|アイ|Ai}}''' ''I'') was the daughter of [[Dr. Fuji]], who died while she was still a child. She appeared as a speaking character during the beginning sequence that was originally cut from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', but later featured on the ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' DVD as '''''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin'''''. She also appeared in ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'' {{wp|radio drama}}, released in CD format exclusively in Japan. She is voiced by [[Kyoko Hikami]] in the original Japanese dub and by [[Kerry Williams]] in the English dub. | ||

* In the early stages of the radio drama's production, Amber was originally referred to as ''Me'', but was later renamed to ''I'' as the [[Takeshi Shudō|writer]] felt that it connotes a stronger assertion of self-existence. The name ''Me'' was later used on [[Molly Hale|a different character]]. | |||
