This website is being made to answer the following question to my passion project:
How did Hello Kitty rise from Japan and become a world-wide pop culture icon?
So Tell Us Already!
Hello Kitty was made in 1974, by Sanrio! With the intention to put her on children's items and stationary.Hello Kitty launched in the domestic Japanese market and became very popular, very quickly.
Part of the reason Hello Kitty became SO popular SO quickly in Japan is because her kawaii charm was very appealing to children. Her design is versatile which has led to opportunities of collabs with countless brands!
Hello Kitty is and always has been a representation of friendship, happiness and the kawaii culture, embodying positivity and innocence.
In the late 70's, Hello Kitty came to America and other countries thanks to the success she brought Sanrio in Japan!
