Hello Kitty

Hello Kitty is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio. The official answer from Sanrio as to why Hello Kitty has no mouth is that she speaks from the heart, in no one particular language.

  • Totally Kitty-fied

    I absolutely adore Hello Kitty and I'm one of the most dedicated fans in my area as both of the two local Claires stores where I live know me well in there! I've been an avid fan since about 1998 and I have a huge collection of Hello Kitty - everything from a CD walkman to wallpaper borders and duvet sets. I have a luggage set that I always use for my holidays and I always find Kitty when I'm on holiday. I just so adore it as it's so cute and girly and to me it's more than just a label, it's a lifestyle. I would love to go to Sanrio Puroland in Japan one day and I'm always on the lookout for unusual and rare Kitty stuff. My bedroom is totally Kitty-fied and my most cherished items are my Hello Kitty boombox and the leopard print fake fur handbag that my mum brought me when she went to the US last year. I think my favourite places to find Kitty is in Chinatown in London (you can get some lovely items if you know where to look) and also the range they did in France last year that was a back to school range was lovely too and one of the best I've ever seen. But yeah, I think my room (and life) would be a much duller place without it! Hello Kitty rules! *Miaow*

  • It's all very nostalgic for me

    Ever since I was a kid, I absolutely love, love the Hello Kitty character from Sanrio. I am in my 30's now and some might question why I love Hello Kitty so much. It's the cuteness of the character and the way it smells when you enter the Sanrio stores in the malls; it's all very nostalgic for me. To put it simply, it reminds of my childhood when it was safe to play outside and there was no regard for time or money, except when it meant that mom was taking me to the Hello Kitty store on Sunday so I can purchase my pencil and stickers. I nominate Hello Kitty!

  • Generosity, innocence, kindness and friendship

    Hello Kitty must be one of the cutest faces in the world. Hello Kitty symbolizes generosity, innocence, kindness and most importantly... friendship. Equally appealing to me.. as am a kid at heart (wink). I love the way they say the reason why Hello Kitty has no mouth is that she speaks from the heart, in no one particular language. Isn't that sweet?

  • I love her and all her friends

    I love her and all her friends! I used to always go to the store to get the candy and see what was there. I once had an all-Sanrio birthday gift list (I was 10, but still). Have a lot of Kitty stuff in storage in my parent's basement. I hope this brand stays around for years to come!

  • Innocent and playful times

    I grew up on Hello Kitty when I lived in the Philippines and in Thailand as a child, and even bought the products when we went on trips to Japan and China. Thinking about it now it is strange how it did not seem to matter what language the details on some of the products were in, it was the image of the cat that made me want to buy it. The brand became a lifestyle then, and now it is a reminder of innocent and playful times. I guess that is why a lot of grown ups still love the brand.

  • Make my day

    It's funny to see what sort of merchandise they can create in pink with a Hello Kitty theme, but even the littlest stickers and pencils just make my day. She is so cute, and Sanrio comes up with the best designs and themes. The items are all fairly affordable, and kids and adults love their items. I should know.

  • The list is enormous

    Sanrio is synonymous with Hello Kitty and her extended family and friends, and they've been chugging along since the '70s. I can't get enough of their candy-colored world of fuzzy kitties, alien-hunting penguins, and the myriad other critters which appear on toasters, vacuum cleaners, rice cookers, pens....the list is enormous.

  • I can't help myself

    I had my first Hello Kitty wallet at age seven - it had a Hello Kitty fan card inside. I'm now 32 and I smile every time I see a Hello Kitty store and can't help but enter and get something with her cute face on it.
