Kitty's first generation designer Shimizu Zanzi thought of children's favorite animals at the beginning of the design, which are nothing more than bears, puppies and kittens. Since the first two have been introduced, she decided to adopt her favorite cat, so this little white cat with a red bow appeared in her wallet. Nobutaro didn't like it very much at that time, but strangely, the kitten became popular out of control.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Christina Heyano, a professor at the University of Hawaii in the United States, gave a lecture on her research topic-Hello Kitty phenomenon at the Japan-US National Museum in Los Angeles.
After the lecture, Yano Yehe received a phone call from Japanese Sanrio Company, which told her an amazing fact: "Hello Kitty is not a cat, but a little girl. She has never had the image of walking on all fours, and has always maintained the standing posture and sitting posture of the little girl. "
According to this report, Yano Kawasaki told the reporter that "Sanrio Company corrected my mistake seriously and told me that Hello Kitty has a pet cat named Charmmy Kitty".
In addition, Yano learned that the prototype of Hello Kitty is a little English girl named Kitty White, and she also has a twin sister in Scorpio.
