Everything You Thought You Knew About Hello Kitty Is About To Change. Hello Kitty Is Not A Cat!

Hello Kitty is not a cat at all, says Sanrio

Yes, you read it right! Hello Kitty is a human girl.

The truth revealed by anthropologist at the University of Hawaii/Hello Kitty scholar Christine R. Yano, who has studied the phenomenon surrounding the minimalist meower for years. Yano is currently curating a Hello Kitty exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.

Yano discovered this when the Sanrio folks corrected her after she described Hello Kitty as a cat in her written texts for the exhibit.

"I was corrected — very firmly," she said. "That's one correction Sanrio made for my script for the show. Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty."

According to BuzzFeed, it is allegedly that Hello Kitty is actually a human British girl named as Kitty White with a background story of her own. It turns out that Hello Kitty was created during the time when Japanese women romanticized the life in England.

Who is Kitty White?

Kitty White is a twin and a perpetual third-grader. According to the Times: "She is a Scorpio. She loves apple pie. And she is the daughter of George and Mary White."
