I have been in love with Hello Kitty and the other characters for a long time now. Its has also come to attention that I am not the only one in my age group (23) that still loves this cat. So what makes this cat so popular ? Is it the way she makes you smile ? That&#8217;s one of the reason I like her.</p>
<p>So I have decided to do some research and this is what I have  come up with.</p>

<p>Hello Kitty, a very peculiar and curious white cat, is characterized by a distinctive bow or some other decoration on her left ear, and the absence of a mouth except in an animated series (see below).</p>

<h2><span class="mw-headline">History</span></h2>
<p>Hello Kitty was given the English name (Kitty White) because British culture was popular with Japanese girls when she was created (though the name is rarely used in popular culture). Kitty&#8217;s name came from one of the cats that Alice kept in the book <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through_the_Looking-Glass" title="Through the Looking-Glass">Through the Looking-Glass</a></em> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Carroll" title="Lewis Carroll">Lewis Carroll</a>. When Hello Kitty&#8217;s boyfriend &#8220;Dear Daniel&#8221; was created in 1999, designers took his name from the 1971 film, <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_%281971_film%29" title="Melody (1971 film)">Melody</a></em>, which starred <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Lester" title="Mark Lester">Mark Lester</a> as a character called Daniel and features songs by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_Gees" title="Bee Gees">Bee Gees</a>.</p>
<p>Hello Kitty&#8217;s fictional world includes a whole array of friends and family members. Since 2004 she has even had a pet cat of her own called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmmy_Kitty" title="Charmmy Kitty">Charmmy Kitty</a> and a pet <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamster" title="Hamster">hamster</a> called Sugar. Charmmy resembles Hello Kitty but has more cat-like features. Charmmy Kitty was given to Hello Kitty by her father, George White, and Sugar by Dear Daniel.</p>

<p>Hello Kitty is also used in books to teach children manners.</p>
<p>Several Hello Kitty cartoons/animes targeted towards young children have been produced.</p>
<p>In the animated films made by Sanrio from 1977 to 1985, Hello Kitty has made cameo appearances in them (similar to Disney&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Mickey" title="Hidden Mickey">hidden Mickey</a> techniques).</p>
<p>The earliest Hello Kitty cartoon series known was the American-animated (co-produced with Japan) <em>Hello Kitty&#8217;s Furry Tale Theatre</em>, which aired throughout 1987. This show parodies various famous fairy tales and blockbuster movies from the period.<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092368/" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092368/" rel="nofollow">[2]</a></p>
<p>On <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA" title="USA">USA</a> television, the Japanese anime series <em>Hello Kitty and Friends</em> aired on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a> in 1991, and also ran on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toon_Disney" title="Toon Disney">Toon Disney</a>. On the show, Kitty is depicted as a little girl who lives with her mother, father, and twin sister Mimmy, who is identical to Kitty but has different colored clothes and wears her bow under the opposite ear. 13 episodes were produced, using animation produced as early as 1991.</p>
<p>On <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japanese</a> television, Hello Kitty (and pals) have starred in at least one <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime" title="Anime">anime</a> series of their own. <em>Hello Kitty&#8217;s Paradise</em> ran for 16 episodes between 1993 and 1994. This version was released in English in 2000. This version, like &#8220;Hello Kitty and Friends&#8221;, also aired on Toon Disney.</p>
<p>Hello Kitty and friends also appeared in <em>Hello Kitty&#8217;s Animation Theatre</em>, which had Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters appearing in their versions of different fairy tales. Available in the U.S. from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADV_Films" title="ADV Films">ADV Films</a> (who also own the video/DVD rights to <em>Hello Kitty and Friends</em> &amp; <em>Hello Kitty&#8217;s Paradise</em>)</p>
<p>Since 2004 the little cat has been featured on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MasterCard" title="MasterCard">MasterCard</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debit_card" title="Debit card">debit card</a> from Legend Credit Inc. The card was released to teach young girls how to shop and use a debit card.</p>
<p>In 2006, it was announced Hello Kitty will be appearing in a new Japanese clay-animated series called <em>Hello Kitty&#8217;s Stump Village</em> from Sanrio. At Anime Expo 2006, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneon_Entertainment" title="Geneon Entertainment">Geneon Entertainment</a> announced that <em>Hello Kitty&#8217;s Stump Village</em> was one of the series they&#8217;ve licensed for U.S. release.

<p><a title="Appearances_with_mouth" name="Appearances_with_mouth" id="Appearances_with_mouth"></a></p>
<h2><span class="editsection"></span> <span class="mw-headline">Appearances with mouth</span></h2>
<p>Hello Kitty, as well as her family and friends, is mostly depicted mouthless, especially in merchandise, which makes her similar to how <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Bravo" title="Johnny Bravo">Johnny Bravo</a> occasionally appeared on screen. Hello Kitty was depicted as having a mouth in a segment in the series <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sanrio_World_of_Animation&amp;action=edit" class="new" title="Sanrio World of Animation">Sanrio World of Animation</a>, where fans could see a smile on her face. However, it has been stated that Hello Kitty does have a mouth, but it is not drawn, as the creators wanted Hello Kitty&#8217;s emotions to be interpreted by the viewer.</p>
