Hello Kitty (Japanese: ハローキティィィ: Har not kiti) is one of the cartoon images created by Sanrio Company in Japan. Hello Kitty's related products usually appear as a bright pink white cartoon kitten with a bow on its head. The trademark Hello Kitty was registered in 1976 and is now widely known.
Although Hello Kitty was originally designed for the female market, now its products have involved toys, wallets, televisions, clothes, massagers, computer hardware and even sexual assistance. It is very popular, especially in Asia. Then an animated image of Hello Kitty for teenagers was born. The first Hello Kitty product is a small and exquisite vinyl coin wallet worth 24 yen (equivalent to about 19 yuan RMB and about 75 yuan NT). Now it produces more than 22, products and accounts for half of Sanrios' annual profit of 1 million.
In Japan, Hello Kitty has appeared in at least one animated series of her own. "Hello Kitty's Paradise" aired 16 episodes in 1993 and 1994. It was first published in English in November 22.
This kitten has also appeared on the surface of MasterCard since 24. This card may be used to educate young girls on how to spend money. This is the first credit card for young girls.
Hello Kitty was originally designed by Yuko Shimizu, a designer of Sanrio Company, in 1974. Shimizu left the company about a year later. The second designer, Miwa Jiezi, designed the project until 198 when it was handed over to Yuko Yamaguchi.
Hello Kitty was given British descent 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 book Alice's Adventures in the Mirror. Kitty's boyfriend Dear Daniel, who was created in 1999, was inspired by a film Melody in which Bee Gees participated in song writing and Mark Lester played Daniel in 1971.
Hello Kitty's fictional world includes a lot of friends and family members. Since 24, she has also had a pet cat named Charmmy Kitty and a pet hamster named Sugar. Charmmy is a lot like Hello Kitty, but more like a cat by comparison.
Hello Kitty was brought to the American market from the beginning, and has been the American Children's Ambassador of UNICEF since 1983. It was in the late 199s that she really became popular. Now you can see goods with the word Hello Kitty in any American department store. Hello Kitty once appeared in the advertising campaign of chain retail market. Many American celebrities have contributed to her popularity: Maria Kelly, cameron diaz, heidi klum, Stephen Taylor, Carmen Elettra, Mandy Moore and Nicky Hilton all supported Hello Kitty products. Singer Lisa Loeb is a fanatic. She even made an album for Hello Kitty called Hello Lisa.
Like many cartoon characters of Sanrio, Hello Kitty is created in a lovely way. The official explanation for why Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth is (see the external link below) that it can express emotional changes through other facial changes; But Kitty's mouth is still drawn in the animation, because she needs to eat and talk. Hello Kitty often wears a bow in her left ear, but there is often a five-leaf flower instead, and there are some rare changes, such as a bunch of flowers instead.
Some people think that Hello Kitty comes from a lucky cat in Japan, and the name of Hello Kitty can also be regarded as another English translation of lucky cat, which also means beckoning cat. It has also been pointed out that Hello Kitty is very similar to Miffy created by Dick Brunet, and their line drawing is different from the general drawing method.
