There are famous characters, then there is Hello Kitty. Reaching her 50th anniversary, Hello Kitty has been a part of the global market for a few decades. One could argue the expressionless cat is more popular than Mickey Mouse. 

From marketable goods in all shapes and sizes, Hello Kitty can be found on just about anything you can imagine. She’s also the first thing to greet tourists at the Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Millennials will remember the first Hello Kitty animated series imported to the United States, Hello Kitty and Friends.

Now, there’s no doubt that Kitty is one of the most influential characters in history, but she has been expanding her reach with her viral YouTube page. Boasting over 360,000 subscribers; Hello Kitty is a Silver Play Button holder.

Sanrio’s official character channels include some of the other lovable members such as Kuromi and everyone’s favorite lazy egg, Gudetama!  

 

Hello Kitty’s Vlog Channel

Hello Kitty’s channel isn’t just recycled content from her animated series, oh no. She has a tight content calendar including vlogs, challenges, and cover songs at the production level of a Vtuber. The dedication put into her channel is inspiring. We are really living in the best timeline if you ask me. 

We absolutely love this for her. 

From Top 10 Essentials, Newspaper reporter challenge, a nighttime radio broadcast, Hello Kitty isn’t just about fun and games, she’s also one of the influential faces behind the United Nations SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) #HelloSDGs.
