The shocking urban legend about Hello Kitty.Did you know her?

Well, since we are going to enter the dubious field of urban legends, let's first give a little review of what is considered the «official story «, The so-called true Hello Kitty story .Later, everyone can take the whim you really prefer.

Hello Kitty, this little white kitten without a mouth, was originally created by the designer of Sanrio Ikaka Shimizu in 1974.This woman left the company a year later, leaving its position to Yuko Yamaguchi, who raised it to the enviable position in which it is now.Sanrio is the company to which Hello Kitty belongs, also responsible for the market launch from the famous frog Keroppi.And why the name of Hello Kitty? You may wonder, well, those responsible for this nice kitty comment that her name is based on British culture, very popular among the Japanese in the 70s.

England was fashionable as were the Beatles , so they relied on the kittens Alicia cared for in Lewis Carroll's book.As simple and normal as this.But… what does the urban legend tell us? Something much darker, sad and mysterious, no doubt.

The urban legend tells us that at this time, the happy 70s, the daughter of Ikaka Shimuzu (whichever was designer of the Sanrio house), she had a 14-year-old daughter who suffered from mouth cancer.She was in a terminal phase and the doctors no longer gave any hope to the family.Her mother, desperate, went to all the churches, to all kinds of cults asking for help for his daughter.When science no longer offered him encouragement, I look for him in spirituality.

He found nothing in the usual religions, so he went into the occult and from there, to Satanism.It is said that he made a pact with the devil.This asked him to create a character and a brand that bore his name, and Ikaka did not doubt it, he did so.Maybe in English «Hello Kitty» refer to the cats of Alice in Wonderland , but in Chinese, the word «Kitty» means demon...»Hello Devil» , ye This was the denomination of a sect of the new era that went against the dictates of God.

Meanwhile, the face of the kitten shows that kind face in which curiously there is no smile, not even mouth .It is said that this is so because Ikaka Shimuzu represented her daughter, and that disease that attacked her smile precisely.A year later, this woman would leave the Sanrio company without giving explanations.

Truth, urban legend? Who knows, the only thing that is certain is that this nice doll brings happiness to millions of girls around the world...
