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 ancestry because British culture was very popular with Japanese girls at the time. Kitty's name comes from a cat owned by Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice Through the Looking Glass. Hello Kitty's boyfriend Dear Daniel, who was created in 1999, was inspired by the 1971 movie "Melody" in which the Bee Gee band participated in the song creation and starring Melody as Daniel.

The fictional world of Hello Kitty includes a host 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.
