When the character "Hello Kitty" is mentioned, what first comes to your mind? I am sure, this image pops out, first and foremost, outta your head:
Yep, Hello Kitty it is! A fictional character created by the Japanese Company, Sanrio, and designed by Yuko Shimizu. This character, since its inception in 1974, has been a global marketing phenomenon that spawned a lot of products that includes school supplies, fashion accessories, toys, apparel, and even high-end consumer products. It even had several TV series produced and has become a definite staple of Japanese popular culture.
Hello Kitty is indeed popular as I have known a lot of people that are enamored with this character and it ranges from all ages; from toddlers to even grown-up women. I have relatives, friends, and colleagues alike who are obviously fans of this cute character. They cannot be at fault though; with the image of a Japanese Bobtail CAT with a red bow designed in a cute Chibi style, who can blame them.
...hold on, did I say "CAT?"
