He likes to add some small designs to the products to increase the sales of the products. Over the past 40 years, Shintaro Tsuji's Sanrio company has developed 450 characters, but only Hello Kitty has been a real success.

Hello Kitty was born in 1974. Tsuji didn’t like it very much at the time, but surprisingly, this kitten became popular out of control. When Hello Kitty was launched, Sanrio did almost no market testing or advertising. Moreover, as long as it did not tarnish Hello Kitty's cute and innocent image, Sanrio would agree to license almost any product.

Nowadays, the products with Hello Kitty image are absolutely diverse and strange, such as clothing, household items, stationery, mobile phones, computers, etc., and even adult products. However, Sanrio still has relatively strict rules for licensing the Hello Kitty image. For example, guns, tobacco and alcoholic products cannot be authorized. Recently, in Japan, a taxi company specially used Hello Kitty as its image endorsement. All taxi drivers are women who do not smoke to maintain Hello Kitty's innocent image.

In the 30 years since its birth, Hello Kitty itself has also undergone many changes. But no matter what, this thirty-year-old kitten is still active all over the world, in the streets and alleys, on various stationery or leather bags. Maybe you can find her on your schoolbag or pillow soon.

[Edit this paragraph] Kitty’s designer and Kitty’s subtle changes

The first generation designer

Shimits Yuko (Shimits Yuko)

In the autumn of 1974, SANRIO planned to launch a "Petite small wallet". The pattern on it was hoped to design a new character, so this little white cat with a red bow officially appeared. Kitty, who was born in 1974, has an oval face, her chin is not round, her ears are pointed, and her beard is relatively long.

Second generation designer

Yonekuba Setsuko

Inherited the original design concept, in order to make Hello Kitty more cute, Miku Setsuko Kubota decided to adopt this famous side-sitting posture and apply it to her wallet. Once it was launched, it became very popular, and other products were soon launched one after another, further strengthening the Hello Kitty momentum.

The third generation designer

Yamakuchi Yuko

She made Kitty’s face rounder and gave her a more vivid description of her personality. . KITTY seems to have become a living person, like a good friend living beside you and me. Of course, it also established her undefeated status as a sister of Sanrio Company today.

“No matter how he changes, we still love her as always”

“Although Kitty looks so simple, she is actually changing with the times. "Twenty years ago, Yuko Yamaguchi, who took over as the third-generation designer of Hello Kitty, said. "Excessively insisting on a fixed image will not only make me bored, but also make consumers lose their patience. So I have been insisting on shaping Kitty from a new angle." She recalled: "My first design was to play a grand piano. Kitty, she played every single note carefully, because at that time, all Japanese little girls from middle-class families were learning piano, and this kind of grand piano was what they wanted very much.”

In the early 1980s, when As teddy bears take over Japan, KITTY can be seen clinging to a little bear as her friend.

In 1987, Yuko Yamaguchi received a letter from a high school girl, saying that she very much hoped to have an adult Kitty. Immediately after that, Kitty appeared in the store wearing fashionable black and white plain clothes, and the sales of this series were even more amazing.

Another milestone in Kitty's life was when her boyfriend Daniel appeared in public in the early 1990s. "In the 1980s, female stars kept their love lives well hidden," explained Yuko Yamaguchi. "But in the 1990s, ideas changed and it was normal for women to have partners. Having said that, at the time I still Very nervous. "What is gratifying is that Daniel is not only welcomed by Kitty fans, but also helps extend Hello Kitty products to weddings and other fields.

Yamaguchi Yuko said: "People say that the reason why Kitty is so successful is because I did not paint her mouth, so that consumers can pin their feelings on Kitty." But more importantly, it is , Yuko Yamaguchi and the staff of Sanrio have made unremitting efforts to keep Kitty up to date. Their perception and grasp of the pulse of fashion are the key to success.

Consumption Miracle: Hello Kitty Phenomenon

In 2004, McDonald’s officially launched mini Hello Kitty ornaments in restaurants. Different colors and cute shapes immediately won the favor of consumers. Certainly, in Taiwan, because the mini Hello Kitty launched by McDonald's is very popular, whether you can buy a set of Hello Kitty for each other has even become a sign for couples to determine whether the other party loves them.

In fact, in 2000, McDonald's used her as a business call. Every time customers buy certain fast food items, they can buy a pair of Kitty cat dolls at a low price. At that time, almost all Hello Kitty fans rushed to fast food restaurants to snap up purchases, and people could not help but be surprised by her charm. Many people queued up to get a Kitty cat, so many people even broke the glass of the store.

The common people are no exception to such stars. When the female star Scarlett Jonson was promoting her movie "Lost in Translation", she faced the camera and the audience clearly saw such a close-up: Jonson grabbed a pillow and put it on her chest. The pattern is "Hello Kitty". The dazzling female star excitedly told reporters: "It is like my lucky charm."

From the crowds of people flocking to it, we can't help but admire this cat. The nameless kitten that originally appeared on a cheap plastic wallet has transformed into an adorable icon making a fortune around the world. Moreover, don’t forget that unlike Doraemon and Garfield, Kitty Cat is just a commodity and is not supported by any movies or comics.

So what does this mouthless kitten do to win the hearts of girls? It turns out that supporters rely on this expressionless cat face to interpret her thoughts at will. This is also the idea of ??the production company, so that Kitty cat without a mouth gives consumers room for imagination, allowing people to project their emotions onto Kitty cat. In other words: if you think Kitty Cat is happy today, she will be happy; if you are in a bad mood today, Kitty Cat will be depressed. This kind of role substitution makes it easy for people to feel that she is a close partner.

In today's urbanized world, interpersonal relationships are gradually becoming alienated. More and more new urban generations have become lonely and do not know how to communicate with other people. Machines and toys have become a way for them to express their feelings. The object has also contributed to the success of various cartoon products.

Kitty cat can not only win the hearts of children, adults and even the elderly fall in love with her, which is inseparable from the rise of "kidult" culture. In conjunction with Kitty's 30th anniversary, its products are mainly focused on capturing the adult market, launching toasters, coffee machines, microwave ovens, etc., in order to retain adult fans who grew up with her at the same age.

·Hello Kitty History:

Hello Kitty is a global, billion-dollar enterprise, but where did it come from? Hello Kitty is the biggest selling brand of the Sanrio Company Ltd, which was founded is 1960 by Shintaro Tsuji.

Hello Kitty is part of the Japanese pop culture of "kawaii" (cute). It all started in the early '70s. Sanrio was trying to develop its own in-house design department. The president, Shintaro Tsuji told his group to draw animals. In 1974, a young designer named Yuko Shimizu came up with the design for Kitty, which Tsuji said left him with a "not too bad" impression. The first product produced was a small clear vinyl coin purse. The products quickly caught on and dwarfed the rest of the company sales with in a year or two.

Unlike most American characters, whose use and design is tightly controlled, Kitty changes constantly. Each year, the designers come up with a new theme for Kitty, plaid one year, in pink another , a princess with a tiara in other years, always giving the obsessed collectors something to want.

There are currently about 22,000 Hello Kitty products on the market. Sanrio produces and markets more than half of them, but about one-third are made under license by hundreds of other companies. Each month, Sanrio takes 600 products off the market and replaces them with another 600 items. Some are shuffled for seasonal reasons. Beach sandals in summer, down quilts in winter, back- to-school bags in autumn. But many are taken off because they don't sell and to keep the lineup fresh.

Hello Kitty serves as Japan Tourism Ambassador

Japan’s well-known cute cartoon character Hello Kitty has impressed people with various roles over the years, such as "Global Marketing Talent" , "fashionista" and "pop culture representative" etc. Now, this round-faced cat has a new role as a "government envoy".

The Ministry of Tourism of Japan appointed Hello Kitty as the image ambassador of Japan in mainland China and Hong Kong on May 19, 2008. Kitty cats are very popular among teenagers and young women in these two places.

Government officials hope to attract more people to travel to Japan through this move to achieve the goal of attracting 10 million foreign tourists to Japan every year set by the "Visit Japan Plan".

Last year, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan hit a record high, reaching 8.35 million, an increase of 60% from 2003 when the Japanese government first launched the tourism promotion plan.

Among the tourists who traveled to Japan last year, tourists from mainland China and Hong Kong accounted for 16.5%. They are expected to become the second largest source of tourists after South Korea this year.

Sanrio President Shintaro said at a press conference that the new mission given to Hello Kitty was an "honor" for her, and said that she would "strive to attract more tourists to Japan."

Japan’s other “tourism goodwill ambassadors” include Korean singer Younha, Japanese actress Kimura Yoshino and Japanese pop rock group Miyumi Pafia.

This is the first time that the Japanese Ministry of Tourism has used a virtual image as a tourism ambassador. However, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs just appointed the Doraemon Doraemon as Japan's "Animation Ambassador" in March.

The Hello Kitty cartoon image was designed by Sanrio in 1974. Its debut was on a plastic coin purse. Today, Hello Kitty has become one of the most influential brands in the world, used to decorate more than 50,000 products in 60 countries.

According to official information provided by Sanrio, Hello Kitty and her family currently live in London. But it didn't mention how often she went to Japan.

English report:

Japan's ubiquitous ambassador of cute Hello Kitty has built up an impressive resume over the years. Global marketing phenom. Fashion diva. Pop culture icon. Now the moonfaced feline can add "government envoy" to the list.

The tourism ministry on Monday named Hello Kitty as its choice to represent the country in mainland China and Hong Kong, two places where she is wildly popular among kids and young women .

Officials hope that tapping into that fan base will lead to a bigger flow of tourists into Japan, and closer toward their goal of attracting 10 million overseas visitors every year under the "Visit Japan" campaign.

Last year the number of foreign tourists traveling to Japan hit a record high of 8.35 million, up 60 percent since the government began the marketing effort in 2003.

Arrivals from mainland China and Hong Kong , who accounted for 16.5 percent of visitors to Japan last year, are poised this year to become the second-largest group of tourists after South Koreans.

At a press conference, Sanrio Co. President Shintaro Tsuji called Hello Kitty's new appointment "an honor" and pledged to "work hard to attract many visitors."

Japan's other goodwill tourism ambassadors include Korean singer Younha, Japanese actress Yoshino Kimura and Japanese pop/rock duo Puffy AmiYumi. < /p>

Although this is the first time the tourism ministry has tapped a fictional character for the role, the foreign ministry in March inaugurated blue robo-cat Doraemon as Japan's "anime ambassador."
