Instead of her usual pink attire, Hello Kitty is clad in blue overalls and yellow tee, a warm combination fitting for the summer. Hello Kitty made her debut in 1974, and this version is a reminder of that. Today, many Sanrio characters exist, including Keroppi, Badtz-Maru, Cinnamoroll, Gudetama and Aggretsuko to name a few! However, Hello Kitty has, and always will have a special place in hearts around the world. Here are a few Hello Kitty facts that could help explain why:
- Although Sanrio is a Japanese company, Hello Kitty is actually British. She was born in London, to parents George and Mary.
- Hello Kitty's birth year is the year she was created (1974), making her 44 in November!
- Hello Kitty was named the Japanese Ambassador for Tourism in Hong Kong and China in 2008.
