“Hello Kitty is not a cat,” as her creators have revealed, leaving fans in disbelief. During Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary, the business that created the popular character revealed a surprise that left some admirers perplexed and in denial.
The Japanese entertainment business Sanrio launched Hello Kitty in 1974. “Hello Kitty is not a cat,” Jill Cook, the head of retail business development for Sanrio, stated during her appearance on Today on Thursday. “She’s actually a little girl.”
Then Cook revealed to the TV program that Hello Kitty, who “weighs three apples” and stands five apples tall, was raised in the suburbs of London alongside her twin sister Mimmy, their parents, and Charmmy Kitty, the family’s favorite cat.
According to Sanrio’s website, Hello Kitty enjoys “baking cookies and making new friends.”
Sanrio was contacted by USA TODAY on Friday, but they haven’t responded.
Here is some background information about Hello Kitty along with comments from fans who find the idea of the figure being a young girl offensive.

Hello Kitty: Who is she?
The BBC was informed by Yuko Shimizu, the Sanrio employee who designed Hello Kitty, that the character was “a white cat with a red bow in its hair.” She went on to say that her early years served as the model for the character.
According to the British outlet, Shimizu recalled receiving a little white kitten as a birthday present from her father when she was younger.
According to Sanrio, Hello Kitty was born in England and goes by Kitty White in real life, as she informed the BBC. The character’s age was then verified by the company as being eight years old.
Shimizu told the BBC that she will be leaving Sanrio two years after she created Hello Kitty, at the age of 27.
