Everything you always wanted to know (and maybe a lot you don't ;-) ) about Hello Kitty.

Hello Titty

Fan here. Would love a digital camera shaped like an H.K. head, mostly for my job - I take pics for a newspaper. Ppl think I'm serious & then I whip out my H.K. notepad and pink pen and start taking notes. I like her happiness and innocence. Not enough of that around here.

The secret to success is foreigners!!!

Hello Kitty is not even Japanese. Yeah, born in Japan but is British, living in London with mama, papa and her twin sister. Don't know where Daniel gatecrashed the party from though. I guess though she should be sexually active at the age of 34.

Japanese or Chinanes roots sucks
