Hello Kitty, born in 1974, is a character adored around the world. The reason she is loved by people of all ages and nationalities is her adorable "mouthless" design! Without a mouth, it's easy for viewers to freely project emotions onto the character and let their imaginations run wild. This simple yet cute design might be the key to her universal appeal across gender and age.

Sanrio's marketing strategies have also played a role in her success. By opening shops globally and releasing collaborative products targeting a wide range of demographics, Hello Kitty's recognition has skyrocketed. Her adorableness and relatability when collaborating with fashion, food, and lifestyle products are undoubtedly factors behind her popularity. The breadth of merchandising opportunities also seems to contribute to Hello Kitty's beloved status.
