Hello Kitty is a fictional cartoon character (as contrasted with a non-fictional cartoon character) who is mouthless. She was created in 1974 and has been in third grade since then. She owns a vast amount of clothing and other merchandise, and is the inspiration for many art projects. She is supercute, and we are in Los Angeles, California to explore her world!
