What is Hello Kitty?

"Hello Kitty was born in London, England where she lives with her twin sister, Mimi. Both Hello Kitty and Mimi are in the third grade. They have many friends at school and, together, they share many adventures. When school's out, Hello Kitty travels the world making friends. Her generosity and kindness endear her to everyone she meets. Her hobbies include music, reading, eating the cookies her sister makes, and best of all, making new friends. "After all, she says, 'You can never make too many friends.'"

Hello Kitty is a cute little cat with an extremely large head, usually pictured with her sister or her teddy bears, and usually dressed in a cute little red romper, although she often is seen in other outfits during the course of her many adventures. She usually does not have a mouth, although in video appearances she does. She was first brought into the world by Sanrio Co. in 1974, and made her international debut two years later. Her birthday is November 1st.
