Summary Hello Kitty, everyone’s favorite Sanrio character, couldn’t be creepier in her new collaboration with the “Stephen King of anime,” Junji Ito. Manga artist, Junji Ito, is considered one of the most brilliant horror authors in anime history. However, many fans would argue that he is also one of the most talented horror authors outside of anime. Some of his most notable projects include Tomie, Uzumaki, and Gyo, all of which include stomach-churning body horror.
Close The sweeter side of Junji Ito’s most recent collaboration is Japan’s cutest kitten: Hello Kitty. Created in 1974 by Yuko Shimizu, the very first Hello Kitty-branded product was a coin purse aimed at a pre-teen audience. However, since then, Hello Kitty has grown into a global icon and has received countless animated series and three animated films released in Japan. Now, in 2024, the red-bowed cat returns for another collab with the most unexpected of partners.

The Inspiration Behind Junji Ito’s Unlikely Pairing with Sanrio’s Beloved, Red-Bowed Kitty There’s a Long History Of Collaborations Behind the Sanrio And Junji Ito Franchises Hello Kitty isn't the first light-hearted anime franchise to team up with Junji Ito.

The crossover was released as a part of the horror-inspired event “Kowapoke” in 2014.
