Hello Kitty (Page 6)
Japan’s cute character queen teams up with the coolest way to see downtown Tokyo’s most traditional neighborhood.
Sanrio’s new shop scheduled to open in Asakusa this coming April should be a Hello Kitty fan’s idea of heaven.
Cafe Lattes served in fluffy cup holders, sweet steamed Kitty head buns, and a special lunch are all on the menu at Lawson.
Only cute and good things can come out of a collaboration between the world’s busiest cat and international sneaker brand Converse!
You’re not seeing double! The Sanrio icon really does have a twin sibling, though she’s very different from her world-famous sister.
Mr. Sato takes our team to Shibuya’s Halloween bash, but not before setting us up with coordinated kawaii costumes.
Sanrio’s star has turned to vlogging, and Japanese social media appreciates her blunt truths and eternal grade-schooler optimism.
Is there anything Kitty can’t do? She can spiritually purify your house or room with salt now, so tell your ghost stories without fear of retribution!
