If you have a cat, you'll recognize many of these immediately. Although some of them are availiable in a book< /a>, many of these have only appeared in the comic so far. Luckily, someone with far more spare time than I have has collected them for our enjoyment.

Although its claims have not been verified by a scientic review process, a company says it has successfully cloned two kittens from its CEO's pet cat. If you have around $50,000, it will clone your beloved pet, too.

JANE PINCKARD -- The market for cute is, apparently, bottomless, especially in Japan. Are there really that many female teenagers? Or do the adults there also have a cute fetish? These are questions for another time - but for now, while it won't support your limited edition Hello Kitty Dreamcast,...

Is Hello Kitty a Copycat?

Is Hello Kitty a Copycat? 09/12/2004 11:51 PM
Xeni Jardin: A blogger who describes himself as an "extraordinary ordinary guy in Japan" says this on the 30th anniversary of Hello Kitty:

"Kitty's design was just a crib from ... Musti, created by the Belgian animator/director Ray Goossens (1924-1998) [Ed note: she's the center figure in the BoingBoing graphic at left]. Musti was started as an animation series on TV in 1968, and its picture books were also published. I read some of that books and loved it in my childhood. Although it is evident to everybody that Kitty was an imitation of Musti, Sanrio, the publisher of Hello Kitty have not touched on it. It is said that the total copyright fee for Hello Kitty reaches around 15 billion yen (13.7 million USD) per year, and Sanrio got 23.7 billion yen (21.6 million USD) gross sales in second quarter of 2004. I wonder why they don't feel shady about hiding the fact."

I'm no Hello Kitty historian, and that's news to me. Is it true? Link to post. This guy has a cool blog. His post about Japanese "jinxes" was also interesting.

On a related note, don't miss the image of "Hello Kitty De Milo" in this news story, which is, like, so obviously a total ripoff of some Greek art dude. Link (Thanks, Brian)

Update: OMG! This is turning into one big plushy piracy clusterfuck! BoingBoing reader Eva says, "See my response on Hello Kitty vs Musti here. Basically, I think Musti is in turn a rip off of the Dutch rabbit Miffy, which was published more than a decade before Musti." Link

Hello Kitty Robot

Hello Kitty Robot 07/12/2004 08:52 AM

I know that Sanrio's Hello Kitty is sort of hackneyed, but it's hard not to appreciate the sheer force of an entity that has for thirty years been the centerpiece of a full-on marketing onslaught -- especially one so free from use or meaning. Hello Kitty is marketing Zen, or maybe the lightless black hole of product development. If you gaze into Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty gazes also into you.

So to celebrate three decades of soul-sucking kawaii frenzy, Sanrio has developed, among other products, a $3,700 Hello Kitty Robot. I know! Come inside to find out the details, and we'll giggle and clap and jump together.

Hello Kitty says, "Hello Blosxom"

Hello Kitty has a blog. Ms. Kitty blogs (in Japanese, of course), moblogs, links to her friends, writes of her latest jewelry likes and dislikes, and so on--just like any other blogger worth their salt ;-).

As if that weren't enough, Jo i Ito pinged me when he noticed that the blog, a joint Sanrio/NTT Data project, is running on Blosxom. Take a gander at the RSS output at http://diary.hello kitty.ne.jp/blog/index.rss:

Hello Kitty Guitar

Hello Kitty Guitar 09/01/2004 09:36 AM

Although this Hello Kitty guitar is about four times the price of what I'd actually want to pay for it... hey, Hello Kitty guitar! The Fernandez-made electric has a built-in speaker and amplifier so you can plug a headphone right in and start writing your ode to ultimate adorability. And while the polka dot version is shown here, there is apparently a matching sparkly pink version the guy selling these can get a hold of. Now we're talking something worth $400.

What acolyte of rock wouldn't be proud to walk through a smokey club with a matching pink gig bag? None I would prefer to rock to, that's for sure.

Hello Kitty Bluetooth Headset

Hello Kitty Bluetooth Headset 09/22/2004 08:38 AM

Not one, but two Hello Kitty cellphone peripherals in one day? Be still my heart! The first is from Expansys and is a Bluetooth headset, but not the clip-over-the-ear kind, but the kind you keep in a pocket and then use a corded earpiece with (read: sort of pointless). The other looks quite a bit the same as the first (although it's hard to tell exactly from the tiny picture) but comes in a gift box with what looks like a charger or a in-car unit or something. Oh, and it's white, which means it's designed to compliment Hello Kitty evening wear.

Hello Kitty Desktop Vacuum

Hello Kitty Desktop Vacuum 08/16/2004 12:41 PM

I would have posted this up about 5 minutes before now, but I noticed they only had three more in stock, so I thought I should get there before you punks. Because lord knows, there's nothing that goes together more sweetly than a distended Hello Kitty head and a light, battery-powered sucking force. And for $10, even! If this thing moves itself around by itself - something that I'm sad to say probably isn't the case - I would buy 24 of them and set them loose around the house. It'd be cheaper than a Roomba and at least 24 times as cute.

Also, have you noticed people saying kawaii a lot lately, too? I doubt they are doing the clap and giggle. You gotta do the clap and giggle.

At 8AM GMT-8 today, 11,000 spectators witnessed Mohave, CA, Airport become a SpacePort. Scaled Composites pilot Mike Melvill added his name to aviation history by taking SpaceShipOne to a height of 100km. The flight was not without mishap as the pioneer [reported] a loud bang during the flight. If it had been me at that moment, I'd now be sending my flight suit to the cleaner. Afterwards, the pilot pointed to a buckled rear of the space craft that may have produced the noise.

The Scaled Composites team can now seriously begin to compete for the $10 Million Ansari X Prize awarded for transporting a pilot and the weight of two passengers to an altitude of 100 kilometers twice within two weeks.

Hello Kitty insect repellant bracelet

Hello Kitty insect repellant bracelet 04/13/2005 03:19 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Sid, who blogs Winkie, lives in Tokyo. Yesterday, he got a press release for a Hello Kitty branded insect repellent pendant, designed to be worn on the wrist or around the neck. The press release has lots of great janglish:

It is good feeling to have a food outside. But, it is bad if unpleasant bugs come. So, now a handy bug repellent with no smell gets popular.

The press release also cautions journalists not to imply that the pendant actually does the thing it is advertised to do:

We appreciate your corporation that the word such as "repellent" and "repel unpleasant bugs", etc. can be used on publicity, but the word or wording that imply "Effective for mosquitoes" or "itchy" and "mosquito", etc. cannot be used. A conventional repellent is registered with pharmaceutical product and/or quasi-pharmaceutical product. However, this product is not yet registered as a wording of "Effective for mosquito", etc. cannot be used.

Somewhere in time, a bunch of children marched for twenty years through nail biting straight A and amphetamine-fueled electrical engineering finals to collapse at the top of their heap. For years they toiled to learn which circuits monitored motion, how sensors could be made that could detect human touch, and have to make liquid and crystals display bright, vibrant colors. And then, in their final service to humanity, they created the Siemens CX70 EMOTY handset and loaded it with Hello Kitty My Best Friends, a collection of interactive mini-games that let us shake, stroke, and smoosh Hello Kitty through a variety of activities that are guaranteed to keep us diverted for moments to come.

Rio Carbon Limited Edition 08/31/2004 07:44 AM

I'm glad Rio is actually going to push their new 5GB hard disk-based Carbon player a bit instead of just letting it languish in the market - it looks like a pretty solid product (I haven't used it yet). To that end, they're running a special promotion for the first 500 people to order the new $250 player that includes a custom-engraved, numbered back, a free shipping upgrade to 2 day air, and a 3 month/20 track download option from Napster. Oh, and lest we forget, a limited edition collectors box that looks suspiciously like someone else's. It might not be enough to sway undecided purchasers, but if you were already leaning that way, might as well give it a whirl.
