Hello Kitty (Japanese: ハローキティ?; Latin: Harōkiti) is a cartoon character created by the Japanese company Sanrio in 1974. Hello Kitty-related products usually appear in the bright pink image of a white cartoon kitten with a bow on its head. The Hello Kitty trademark, which deliberately ignores the mouth part, has become widely known since it was registered in 1976. Hello Kitty, which came out on November 1, 1974 and was registered in 1976, soon became the protagonist of cartoons. The Hello Kitty animation, designed with children in mind, launched related products not long after it was aired. The product that matches the animation's first Hello Kitty image is a small but exquisite vinyl coin wallet worth 240 yen (equivalent to about 19 yuan, about 75 NT dollars). It now produces more than 22,000 products and accounts for half of Sanrios's $1 million in annual profits. In Japan, Hello Kitty stars in at least one animated series of her own. "Hello Kitty's Paradise" aired for 16 episodes in 1993 and 1994. It was first published in English in November 2002. This kitten has also appeared on the face of MasterCard since 2004. This card may be intended to educate young girls on how to spend money. It was the first credit card targeted at young girls. History Hello Kitty was originally designed in 1974 by Sanrio designer Yuko Shimizu. Shimizu left the company about a year later. The second designer, Setsuko Yonekubo, continued to design until 1980 when the task was handed over to Yuko Yamaguchi. Hello Kitty was given British origin because British culture was very popular with Japanese girls at that time. Kitty's name comes from a cat owned by Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice Through the Looking Glass. Dear Daniel, Kitty's boyfriend who was created in 1999, was inspired by Melody, a 1971 film in which the Bee Gees participated in the songwriting and starring Mark Lester as Daniel. The fictional world of Hello Kitty includes a large cast of friends and family members. Since 2004, she also has a pet Persian cat she calls Charmmy Kitty and a pet hamster named Sugar. Charmmy is very similar to Hello Kitty but more like a cat. International success: Hello Kitty 30th anniversary 3-D magnet sold by 7-Eleven in Taiwan. Hello Kitty was first brought to the U.S. market and has served as UNICEF's U.S. Children's Ambassador since 1983. She really started to become popular in the late 1990s. Nowadays, you can see products with Hello Kitty in any American department store. Hello Kitty has appeared in advertising campaigns for retail chains. Many American celebrities have contributed to her popularity: Mariah Carey, Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum, Steven Tyler, Carmen Iletra, Mandy Moore and Nicky Hilton All have supported Hello Kitty products. Singer Lisa Loeb is such a fan that she even released an album specifically for Hello Kitty called Hello Lisa. Image style and possible origin Like many other Sanrio cartoon characters, Hello Kitty is created in a cute way (called Kawaii in Japanese, Q version in Taiwan, pronounced in English cute). The official explanation for why Hello Kitty has no mouth is (see external link below) because she communicates with her heart without any language.

But Kitty's mouth is still drawn in the animation because she needs to eat and talk. Hello Kitty often wears a bow on her left ear, but there is often a five-leaf flower instead, and there are some rare variations such as a bouquet of flowers instead. Some people think that Hello Kitty comes from the Japanese lucky cat (beckoning cat), and the name Hello Kitty can also be regarded as another English translation of lucky cat, which also means beckoning cat (beckoning cat). Some people point out that Hello Kitty is very similar to Miffy, created by Dutch Dick Brunet in 1955, and therefore believe that Hello Kitty's line-drawing style is not original.
