Yes, I am one of the millions like you, who for four decades believed that Hello Kitty is a cat. But it came out lately that Hello Kitty is not a cat but a little girl, a “perpetual third-grader” who lives in London. On the website of Sanrio, the creator of Hello Kitty, she is explicitly described as a “ a bright little girl with a heart of gold.” And do you know that Hello Kitty has a twin sister named Mimmy? And she loves to bake cookies and play music on the piano. And here's the best of all, she has a boyfriend named Dear Daniel.
Sanrio has never kept it a secret that Hello Kitty is a girl and not a cat but for 40 years the world thought that she is a cat.
Christine Yano, an anthropologist at the University of Hawaii and Harvard, was quoted in the Los Angeles Times on August 26th: ;
Hello Kitty is not a cat. She’s a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She’s never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it’s called Charmmy Kitty.
