A Few Fun Facts
Hello Kitty, is one of the best-known of many simply drawn fictional characters produced by the Japanese company Sanrio. Designed by Ikuko Shimizu, the first product, a vinyl coin purse, was introduced in Japan in 1974, and in the United States in 1976.

The Hello Kitty line has since developed licensing arrangements worth more than $1 billion a year in sales. Examples of products depicting the character include dolls, stickers and greeting cards to clothes, accessories, school supplies, dishes and home appliances. Sanrio Puroland is the official theme park of Sanrio featuring Hello Kitty and her friends.

Several animated series targeted towards young children have been produced. In the animated films made by Sanrio from 1977 to 1985, Hello Kitty has made cameo appearances in them (similar to Disney's hidden Mickey techniques).

The earliest animated series known was the American-animated (co-produced with Japan) Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theatre, which aired throughout 1986. This show, produced by Sanrio in cooperation with the now-defunct DiC Entertainment, parodies famous fairy tales and blockbuster movies from the period. It was broadcast in the United States on The Family Channel, and a Spanish-dubbed version also aired Saturday mornings on Univision.

The Japanese anime series Hello Kitty and Friends aired on TV Tokyo in Japan, and CBS in the United States in 1991. It also ran in reruns on Toon Disney. On the show, Kitty is a little girl living 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.

On Japanese television, Hello Kitty (and her pals) have starred in an anime series. Hello Kitty's Paradise ran for 16 episodes between 1993 and 1994. This version was released in English in 2000, and like "Hello Kitty and Friends". Hello Kitty and friends also appeared in Hello Kitty's Animation Theatre, which had Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters appearing in their versions of different fairy tales. Available in the U.S. from ADV Films (who also own the video/DVD rights to Hello Kitty and Friends & Hello Kitty's Paradise)

Hello Kitty appeared in a new Japanese clay-animated series called Hello Kitty's Stump Village in 2005. At Anime Expo 2006, Geneon Entertainment announced that Hello Kitty's Stump Village was one of the series it licensed for U.S. release. Volume 1 was released in October, and Volume 2 was released in January and in 2008. After Geneon withdrew from the US market at the end of 2007, it was later re-licensed by Funimation Entertainment, who will continue to release it in North America. Hello Kitty appeared for the first time in a full 3D animation The Adventures of Hello Kitty & Friends developed by Sanrio's digital entertainment entity Sanrio Digital.

There is a Hello Kitty restaurant that may be found in Taipei, Taiwan. The Hello Kitty themed restaurant serves dishes that are also patterned according to Hello Kitty itself like the Hello Kitty Jelly. The fixtures and restaurant designs are also Hello Kitty themed.

Also near Taipei is a Hello Kitty themed hospital. The owner bought rights to the brand on the insistence of his mother, wife and daughter, with the thinking that anxious expecting mothers would be calmed by the icon.

More Hello Kitty Facts

• Although Hello Kitty was originally test-marketed to senior citizens (consumers over the age of 65), Sanrio quickly realized that their spunky (yet mouthless) spokeskitty had broad appeal to people of all ages. We personally believe that she has something to offer everyone, except possibly the French.
• Hello-kitty seems to lack digits as well; preventing her from making use of sign language... no doubt part of the conspiracy... There is hope, hello-kitty can dance, she could learn Hula or another communcative dance form of the Pacific...
• Who is the masked MASTRANGELO? And why does he hate Don "The Cucumber" Savage? Could these two have a secret rivalry for the beautiful Chantel, Savage's comely manager and ex-wife? It's been known for some time that Savage and Chantel's marriage was destroyed by her love of another man. But the identity of that man was never revealed! Rumors have flown since that fateful match where Chantel's last minute distraction of the referee cost Savage the World Cage Champion Belt, but we've never known the name of the Lothario who stole Chantel's heart.
• The answer to all our questions may lie behind the fierce masked visage of MASTRANGELO!! Chantel has said some pretty flattering things about this new face in the ring. Was it his god-like physique that turned her head? Or was it MASTRANGELO's degree in quantitative physics that won Chantel's admiration?
• We may find the answers if Savage manages to catch MASTRANGELO in the Cucumber Claw and unmasks him. But Savage will have to watch out for MASTRANGELO's patented Strangle-O Head Lock. Be there, tonight!
• Camping is only permitted in the areas designated by the tent and campfire symbols. Restrooms are located every four campsites and showers are available in every second restroom.
• Please help keep our forest clean. Pack out what you pack in. Do not leave garbage or food items in the campsites at night. The local wildlife, while not dangerous, could annoy and possibly maul you while you sleep.
• Please keep to the path. The markers indicate the "rabies free" zone in the park. No rabies infected animals will cross the line as we have explained the rules to them carefully. Feel free to pet any animal on the path, but be wary of those lurking outside the perimeter.
• Make your stay with us a memorable one, play safe. The hurricane fences are there for your protection. Please do not scale the fences as we cannot be held responsible for lacerations and electrocutions that occur above the forest floor. Remind your children, razor wire is sharp!
