Extended information:
Hello Kitty is created based on cuteness. The official explanation for why Hello Kitty has no mouth is because she uses her heart to communicate without using any language, so she can express richer emotional changes through facial expressions. But in the animation, Hello Kitty's mouth is still drawn because she needs to eat and talk. As for Hello Kitty in Hello Kitty Love Roam, although she can talk and eat, she is true to the original work and has no mouth.
Hello Kitty often wears a bow on her left ear, but it is often replaced by a five-leaf flower. There are also some rare changes such as a bouquet of flowers.
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). cat). Some people also point out that Hello Kitty is very similar to Miffy, created by Dutch Dick Bruna in 1955, and therefore believe that Hello Kitty's line-drawing style is not original.
In recent years, Hello Kitty has gradually become an urban office style, hoping to capture the hearts of working people. There are Hello Kitties wearing high heels, and sometimes they even show off a little bit of cuteness.
