Origin and History of Hello Kitty (Source: Círculo):

Created in 1974 by Sanrio, Hello Kitty is an icon who has won over generations with her unmistakable charm and her positive message of friendship, kindness, and gentleness. Recognized around the world, the character symbolizes the connection between different generations and is adored by children, teens, and adults alike. Her world is full of captivating stories—she lives in London, has a twin sister named Mimmy, and loves playing the piano, playing tennis, and traveling.

But did you know she isn’t a cat? In fact, Hello Kitty is a stylish little girl! What’s more, her birthday is November 1, 1974, which makes her a true Scorpio, with a mysterious and captivating personality!

Also, contrary to what many people think, Hello Kitty doesn’t have a mouth. She believes that the true language is that of the heart, communicating through friendship, affection, and genuine feelings. This simple yet profound detail is one of the reasons she wins hearts around the world.

And what about the red bow she wears? It has a very special meaning! It represents hope and joy, reminding us that we can never spread too much friendship and affection.

And there’s more! Hello Kitty is as tall as five apples stacked on top of each other and weighs as much as three apples! But despite her size, her heart is as big as the world—and that’s what makes her even more adorable.
