Hello Kitty is the most well known character produced by
Japanese company Sanrio. Hello Kitty was created in
Tokyo in 1974 and registered in 1976, characterised
as a white kitten often with a bow in the left ear or some
other decoration. Hello Kitty is host to a whole collection
of similar characters and she even has her own kitten. Originally
this character was marketed at the pre-adolescent female
however Hello Kitty has become so famous around the world
that even Pop Stars and other famous people have been seen
wearing or sporting some form of Hello Kitty merchandise. In
Japan, Hello Kitty has become so part of the culture penetrating
every aspect of daily life that she can be seen
on the side of airplanes, shop windows, noodle packets, hand
bags and a million other products.
