Hello Kitty was originally designed by Sanrio designer Yuko Shimizu in 1974. Shimizu left the company about a year later. The Hello Kitty trademark was registered in 1976. The second designer, Setsuko Yonekubo, continued to design until 1980 when the task was handed over to Yuko Yamaguchi.

Hello Kitty was given British ancestry because British culture was very popular with Japanese girls at the time. Kitty's name comes from a cat owned by Alice in the book Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Dear Daniel, Titi's boyfriend, was created in 1999. It was inspired by Melody?, a 1971 film in which the Bee Gees participated in the songwriting and starring Mark Lester as Daniel.
