Sanrio
Make a wish on not one but two little stars while you’re on vacation in western Tokyo this spring.
Two Sanrio stars slip on sumo loincloths to celebrate the first nig sumo tournament of the year.
Kitty-chans representing the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras are waiting inside these sweet treats.
Japanese prefecture that already has a Hello Kitty airport is getting ready for even more Sanrio cuteness.
Tokyo Dome Hotel fills rooms with all the My Melody and Kuromi adorableness they can hold.
Each Eva pilot gets a special Sanrrio friend, while Hello Kitty lends her style to Unit-01 and the Angels too.
Reaction to Kitty-chan and friends has been so positive that they’ll be sticking around a little longer at regional airport.
Kuromi and the Seven Princesses of Tango want to take you deeper into Kyoto Prefecture than just Kyoto City.
