Hello Kitty was originally designed by Shimizu Zanzi, a designer of Sanrio Company in 1974. Shimizu left the company about a year later. The trademark Hello Kitty was registered in 1976. The second designer, Miwa Jiezi, designed it until 198 when the task 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 Adventures in Alice's Mirror.

Dear Daniel, Titi Cat's boyfriend, was created in p>1999, which was inspired by a film Melody in which Bee Gees participated in song writing and Mark Lester played Daniel in 1971. .

Like many other cartoon characters of Sanrio, Hello Kitty is created by a lovely route (Kawaii in Japanese, Q version in Taiwan Province, and English cute pronunciation). The official explanation for why Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth is that she communicates with her heart, not through 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 in her left ear, but it is often replaced by a five-leaf flower, and there are some rare changes, such as a bunch of flowers.

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 Dutch Dick Brunet in 1955, so it is considered that Hello Kitty's line drawing style is not original.
