Hello Kitty

 

Personality

Hello Kitty isn't Japanese. She was born in the suburbs of London, England on November 1st.

She is a cute, bright, sweet, kind-hearted, and tomboyishly beautiful girl.

Her height is described as five apples and her weight as three apples.

She is good at baking cookies and loves Mama's homemade apple pie.

She likes to collect cute things. Her blood type is A. Her trademark signature is a red bow on her left ear.

 

 

Hello Kitty (ハローキティ, Harō Kitī), also known by her full name, Kitty White, is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio, created by Yuko Shimizu, and designed by Yuko Yamaguchi. She is portrayed as a female white Japanese Bobtail Cat with a red bow worn on her left ear and often wears blue overalls with a yellow shirt on top. 

The character's first appearance on an item, a vinyl coin purse, in Japan on November 1st, 1974. She sat between a bottle of milk and a pet goldfish and had turned her head sideways to face her newfound friends. In a word: cute. Or more accurately, kawaii, the distinctively Japanese breed of cuteness that injects adorable attributes into all aspects of the country's consumer culture. Registered in 1975, Hello Kitty is now a globally known trademark.

Hello Kitty is not normally given a mouth because "without the mouth, it is easier for the person looking at Hello Kitty to project their feelings onto her blank stare" and that "the person can be happy or sad together with Hello Kitty." A handful of feminist scholars say her non-communicative nature comes from the submissive female archetype.

Even when the two rarely had arguments, the twins manage to get back together fairly quickly.
