Characters.

So far there are 29 characters in the Sanrio character line. The most commonly known character is Hello Kitty. Her real name is Kitty White born at London, England on November 1st. Some of Hello Kitty’s hobbies are baking cookies, origami, playing piano, playing tennis, collecting stars, collecting ribbons and other cute things. Hello Kitty also has a identical twin sister named Mimmy White who is a minor character not commonly shown. While Hello Kitty wears a red bow on her right ear, Mimmy wears a yellow bow on her left ear.

As I said in another blog post, since there are many characters of Sanrio some of the old characters go into retirement but sometimes make random appearances. Some of the retired characters include Pochacco, Badtz Maru, Tuxedo Sam, Spottie Dottie, and Pekkle. Because this year they are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Sanrio many of the retired characters have been making appearances. The newest editions to the line of characters are the Jewlpets, which are small animals with gems as eyes.
