Hello Kitty

A spokesperson for Sanrio says that Hello Kitty is not normally given a mouth because "without the mouth, it is easier for the person looking at Hello Kitty to project their feelings onto the character" and that "the person can be happy or sad together with Hello Kitty."
Hello Kitty can be found on a variety consumer products ranging from school supplies to fashion accessories. These products range from everyday items such to rare collectibles.
