One part of Hello Kitty’s design has sparked some controversy surrounding it. That is, she is not given a mouth. Aspokesperson for Sanrio says that Hello Kitty is not normally given a mouth because “without the mouth, it is easier forthe person looking at Hello Kitty to project their feelings onto the character” and that “the person can be happy or sadtogether with Hello Kitty.” Some people were particularly concerned about this. They felt that this showed Hello Kitty asbeing meek and unspeaking. They thought young girls could be made to feel as if they had no voice. Other people,however, believe that leaving a blank facial expression stimulates imagination in young girls. They believe that leavingthe mouth off will allow young girls to imagine what the kitty is going through and imagine that she understands whatthe girls are telling her.
