Yuko Shimizu created the original design of Hello Kitty in 1974

Hello Kitty (ハローキティ, Harō Kiti) is the best-known of Sanrio's characters. She is depicted as a white cat with a red bow and no visible mouth.[17] The original design for Hello Kitty was created by Yuko Shimizu in 1974.[5] However, the lead designer in charge of creating new design themes for most of Hello Kitty's history, since 1980, has been Yuko Yamaguchi.[6][18][5] The first Hello Kitty item, a vinyl coin purse, was introduced in 1975.[19][20]

Official character profiles list Hello Kitty's full name as Kitty White (キティ・ホワイト, Kiti Howaito), born in the suburbs of London, England, on November 1. Her height is described as five apples and her weight as three apples. She is depicted as a bright and kind-hearted girl who is good at baking cookies and likes to play the piano.[2][21][17] Hello Kitty is portrayed with a large family including her twin sister Mimmy, who wears a yellow bow, papa George and mama Mary.[21][17]

Originally Hello Kitty was only marketed towards pre-teenage girls, but beginning in the 1990s, the brand found commercial success among teenage and adult consumers as well.[22] The brand went into decline in Japan after the 1990s, but continued to grow in the international market.[6] By 2010 the character was worth $5 billion a year and The New York Times called her a "global marketing phenomenon".[6] By 2014, when Hello Kitty was 40 years old, she was worth about $8 billion a year.[23]

UNICEF has appointed Hello Kitty children's ambassador and the Japanese government appointed her ambassador of tourism.[22] The Hello Kitty media franchise has grown to include several animated series, video games and other media productions. A variety of products have featured the character over the years and as of 2008 there were over 50,000 different Hello Kitty branded products.[22]

Aside from the core Hello Kitty characters, several spinoff characters have been created: Hello Kitty's boyfriend Dear Daniel in 1999, Charmmy Kitty, Hello Kitty's pet cat, and Sugar, her pet hamster, both in 2004, and her superhero alter-ego Ichigoman in 2011.[18][24]

Little Twin Stars (1975) edit

Little Twin Stars (ja:リトルツインスターズ, Ritoru Tsuin Sutāzu) also known as Kikilala (キキララ, kikirara) in Japan[25] are a pair of angel-like characters. The younger brother with blue hair is Kiki (キキ, Kiki), and the older sister with pink hair is Lala (ララ, Rara).[26] Originally designed by Yōko Matsumoto (松本庸子) who also designed My Melody.[27] They were initially created for a 1975 Christmas promotion and their birthday is December 24, Christmas Eve.[28][29][30] Drawing inspiration from Christmas and winter themes, early sketches had the characters wearing warm coats and winter scarves, before Matsumoto settled on stars as the motif.[28][31] Because they came from the sky, she gave them white angel style clothes.[28] In their first publication the characters were unnamed, and their names originate from a survey in the Strawberry Newspaper (ja:いちご新聞) where readers could send in their suggestions.[32][33][34]

Early Little Twin Stars branded products, like those for other similar Sanrio characters of the era, were items marketed to young girls, like stationery and accessories.[35][36] In the late 70s Sanrio also began publishing picture books with Kiki and Lala, illustrated by Matsumoto and others.[37][38][39][40] Since the inception of the Little Twin Stars, new designs have continually been created, following trends of the times.[35][41][42] In the original 70s designs Kiki's hair was brown and Lala's yellow. In the 80s the designs became more pastel colored, and this is also when their hair colors settled into being predominantly blue and pink. In the 90s their faces were modernized, and designs were rendered in 3D CGI, and in the 00s there was a retro return to the styles of the 70s and 80s.[35][41][42]

In 2015, EVA Air introduced a special livery Boeing 777-300ER, "Shining Stars", dedicated to the characters. The plane is mainly used on routes from Taipei to Houston and Singapore.[43]

According to official character profiles, her birthday is January 18 and she lives in the forest of Mariland with friends like My Sweet Piano (a sheep), and Flat (a mouse).[44] When My Melody debuted, she was portrayed as Little Red Riding Hood.

My Melody can be found on children's toys and merchandise (from jewelry to household items). My Melody was first released in 1975 and the first related merchandise was released at the end of that year. At first, she mainly was marketed toward young girls, but like Hello Kitty her popularity has increased among women and men of all ages, especially in Asia.

In the late 1980s, My Melody's popularity waned, and the only items produced were stationery and candy. According to a reader survey published in Strawberry News (a magazine published by Sanrio) in 1996, My Melody came out amongst some of Sanrio's most popular characters and as a result, due to popular demand, standard merchandise started re-appearing beginning in February 1997 featuring the original red hood. Items with the pink hood were re-released in 1999; as of 2000, there were items released with multiple color hoods.

On April 3, 2005, an anime series based on My Melody and her friends and produced by Studio Comet started to air on TV Osaka and TV Tokyo television stations, called Onegai My Melody (おねがいマイメロディ), which aired from 2005 to 2008. This anime also spawned a video game for the Nintendo DS titled Onegai My Melody: Yume no Kuni no Daibouken (おねがいマイメロディ～夢の国の大冒険～). The game relies heavily on a feature of the Nintendo DS console which requires the player to blow air into the microphone of the unit. The player guides My Melody through timed levels by jumping and using her umbrella to float around and avoid enemies. The game also features unlockable content as well, such as music, images, and mini-games.

My Melody also appears in the Sanrio Digital and Dream Cortex series, The Adventures of Hello Kitty & Friends. She, however, is mouthless there, and her rival Kuromi doesn't make an appearance.

In 2007, a second game was released for the Nintendo DS, titled My Melody Angel Book ~Denshitechou & Enjoy Game~ (マイメロディエンジェルブック～電子手帳＆エンジョイゲーム～). The game's primary function is as a day planner designed for young girls to keep track of appointments, class schedules, and mini diary entries.

On March 1, 2008, Mattel released a Barbie doll named "My Melody". The My Melody Barbie doll featured a Barbie doll inspired by the My Melody character, with the character's face included in different parts of the doll's fashion and accessories. In an homage to the character's rabbit ears, the doll's hair is styled in pigtails.[45]

On March 26, 2008, a Japanese music compilation album titled "I Love 30 - My Melody" from Tearbridge Records was released with My Melody wearing the original red hood drawn in various artwork styles by Groovisions. Rei Sakuma has been the regular voice of My Melody in Japan since 1989.

My Melody has also been turned into a Pullip doll with two versions; originally released in 2008 and the latest one in 2016.

In 2014, Sanrio celebrated the character's 40th Anniversary by creating a special line of merchandise where she is given a different hood where her ears are dropped down and wears either a bonnet or a flower pin and sometimes depicted with eyelashes. Sanrio Puroland honored the 40th anniversary of the character by creating indoor ride called "My Melody Drive" where visitors are visiting Mariland and encounter My Melody and her friends including Kuromi who attempts to ruin her day.

My Melody is also seen in collaboration merchandise with other non-Sanrio series, such as one with Sailor Moon in 2017.

In 2019, My Melody became a radio DJ on TOKYO FM with a show called "My Melo Therapy" (マイメロセラピー) where she answers questions from listeners and offers advice.[46] A book with advice from the show was released in 2022.[47][48]

In the 2020 web series Hello Kitty and Friends: Supercute Adventures, My Melody is one of the main characters where she is voiced by Michelle Marie.[49]

In 2010 The New York Times said that My Melody was "moderately successful" in terms popularity, but showing no signs of reaching the global popularity of Hello Kitty.[6] My Melody was number one in the Sanrio Character Rankings in 2010 and 2011.[50] In 2019 she was Sanrio's second most profitable character, after Hello Kitty.[51]
