If you’ve never heard, seen or worn “Hello Kitty,” you may have been living in a cave over the past decade. Hello Kitty has become an global fashion and marketing phenomena, spanning each continent and breaking sales records in division stores around the world. But precisely who is this adorable, mouth-less “kitty” that has captured the hearts and minds of so galore adoring fans? Hello Kitty was in the first place devised in the 1970′s by Japanese company Sanrio, and is the company’s most famous fictional character. The kitten-like animation was in the first place devised underneath the name “Kitty White,” but this name was never applied commercially. The reputation was introductory marketed in the United States and has been an unofficial ambassador for the charity, UNICEF since 1983. The Hello Kitty brand became much more prominent for the duration of the late 90s when celebrities started out adopting Hello Kitty fashion in their wardrobes, with Mariah Carey being one prominent example. Today Hello Kitty Merchandise stocks the shelves of almost all American division stores and the Hello Kitty reputation has even been featured in promotion campaigns buy merchandising giants like Target in the US. Products such as Hello Kitty bedding, the Hello Kitty wrist watch line, and the much sought-after Hello Kitty digital camera are just a few of the plethora of goods offered in a Hello Kitty version. Among American celebrities sporting the Hello Kitty brand, Cameron Diaz, Carmen Electra, Heidi Klum, Christina Aguilera, Steven Tyler, Mandy Moore, and Raven Symoné lead the list. Paris and Nicky Hilton have likewise been photographed wearing the Hello Kitty brand, as has pop-singer Lisa Loeb, who is presently advancing the hot-pink “Hello Kitty guitar.” Females are by far the greatest market for Hello Kitty products. And at times it seems their appetite for Hello Kitty merchandise is insatiable. There’s a new Hello Kitty Robot, for example, equipped with both face and voice recognition, and the capacity to dance around while talking to it is owner. And let’s not forget the newly-released Hello Kitty debit card. Nearly any product you may think of has (or soon will be) branded with the Hello Kitty logo. But what is genuinely behind this international obsession? What incisively is the appeal of Hello Kitty, particularly to females? Part of the answer could lie in the mystery of Hello Kitty’s back-story. Kitty appears to be asexual and his/her reputation profile is held vague — this allows fans to attribute any characteristics they like onto Kitty, instilling the reputation with their own values, emotions and backgrounds. Not only does Hello Kitty appear to have no distinctive sexual characteristics, it likewise has no apparent ethnicity. Fans tend to “adopt” Hello Kitty into their own ethnicity, age group, likes and dislikes, and perhaps that’s part of Kitty’s charm. As you would expect, Hello Kitty does have an official bio, but it appears vague almost to the point of being mysterious. In any case, the huge international success of the reputation does not seem affected in the least by what we know with regards to him/her. As Kitty is fond of saying “You may never have too a great deal of friends.” And with a world wide branding juggernaut that has made inroads in each major market all over the globe, Hello Kitty will likely never have to worry in regards to not having sufficient friends.
