SATAN HELLO KITTY?

They’re a lot of assumptions about Hello Kitty and what she was actually created for. Like how people believe she’s made for representing the devil. The rumor was that Hello Kitty was created for a mother who had a sick child.That the mother of that child had made a pact with the devil to heal her child. And in return she would make a creation to represent the devil himself.

I, however do not believe this. I believe this is just another urban legend trying to take away the innocence from a character. Another legend is that Hello Kitty didn’t have mouth on purpose, that her not having a mouth would represent children who were or are abused. Because in most cases most children would say anything about being abused and keep it to themselves.

I don’t believe that Hello Kitty’s “image” is supposed to represent any of this. A lot of these rumors were created by the ones who actually worship devil, and just want to frighten everyone who is a fan of Hello Kitty. But Hello kitty is really just and cute and innocent kitten who was created by an innocent artist. A lot of people would just assume these rumors are true, just like any other rumor out there. Hello Kitty is just another innocent character from Sanrio!

WELCOME HELLO KITTY !


Hello Kitty is a big part of a lot of female’s childhood and still are today.  Hello Kitty also is a huge icon in Asia, where she is originated from.  On the date of November 1st, 1974, Ikuko Shimizu had created Hello Kitty, Who is an Icon for Sanrio. Sanrio is the sponsor for Hello Kitty that’s why you will always see a SANRIO sign on and kind of Hello kitty product.

Before Hello Kitty, Sanrio already had two Icons. The two Icons were a dog and bear, both were obviously not as successful as Hello Kitty was. The first Item that had her on it was a coin purse. The purse with Hello Kitty on it made business booming for Sanrio, and this was only in Asia. Once Sanrio sold the purse in America , It soon became worldwide.   

Of course when you see or hear the world Sanrio, you would automatically think Hello Kitty. In my honest opinion, I feel like Hello Kitty was the starter for the company, Sanrio and without Hello Kitty it wouldn’t be as famous as it is today. Hello kitty has her personality and life just like any human being would. She has family, friends, and even a boyfriend. I think that’s why so many little girl look up to her or idolize her, Because she has an ideal perfect life! I remember how I would love to buy Hello Kitty things from Sanrio. My room was filled with posters, plush toys, and many other Hello Kitty items. Even in my elementary school, whoever had Hello Kitty was “popular”. Maybe that was just Bethune.   
  Hello Kitty is cute and also looked up too! She was a huge part of my childhood, and I’m sure she is also to some little girls right now. She might not have mouth , But she has a lot of history behind her.
