The main correspondent for Quahog Channel 5 News. Unlike her fellow news people, Tricia displays a strong, stoic attitude. Whenever Tucker or Simmons would switch the scene to Takanawa, either of the two would always say "Asian Correspondent Tricia Takanawa", or "Asian Reporter Tricia Takanawa". She is known for her flat, nasal voice and dead-pan attitude, even when laughing and during sex. She often starts a story by naming the presenter who has just linked to her, notably in her flat nasal tone such as "Dian-ne..." or "To-om...". On one occasion, however, she completely loses control while meeting David Bowie. Diane confirms her as being Japanese, Tricia is often made to do dirty jobs, such has covering a flu segment (prompting her to throw up), and to be abused in a hurricane report. In an uncanonical episode, she is grilled and eaten by Tom and Diane. Her explosion when she met David Bowie was publicised after she started to hump his left leg like a dog. In "North by North Quahog", she is not allowed into a hotel because of her ethnicity. In some episodes of MADtv, Borstein portrays a correspondent named Sue Napersville with a similar voice.
