My best friend will flip out from this news. I also call massive shenanigans on her being human, unless she's in a type of kigurumi, there's no way she's human. It's also a bit tough to throw in the nekomimi defense as well, while she has human traits she looks exactly like a personified cat.

Source

Did I mention she's not even Japanese, she's evidently from the UK.

But, yeah, I guess that's pretty crazy.

I call bullshit. Hello Kitty has no mouth therefore can not be human nor cat.

I don't see where it says she's a human, just that she's not a cat. She could be some cat-like race that they made up.

Not all humans have mouths, therefore it is still quite possible.

She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature.


Sounds like something a furry uses as an excuse.

If she's a human, then is she wearing nekomimi?

lol article didn't exactly say "human"

"Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character" Pretty much sums it up. When they say "she's a girl", it just means she's a female. Doesn't really say she's human, lol.

Your "personified cat" description sounds about right. Just imagine teenage ninja turtles but instead of turtles, a cat.

+1. They're basically going with "she's not a cat; she's a cat-girl".

If it's not a cat, it's a furry. It certainly isn't human.

Not quite a furry but I was right all along, she's a personified cat

Case closed

Kotaku is tainted, don't go there, they support censorship, frauds, drama, and outright corporate tyranny.

Hello Kitty is obviously a cat, they just mean shes not a 'literal' cat because she talks and walks on 2 legs. Shes an anthropomorphic cat. Its obviously a translation issue and they didnt mean shes human. Its the same as other animal mascots like Tony the Tiger from cereal etc
