hello kitty is based on characters, films, etc. by a Japanese Company called Sanrio. Where did you find the Hello Kitty merchandise at WDW?

was it in the Japan pavillion? if it was, you will find Hello Kitty merchandise there because Hello Kitty is from the country of Japan and the Japanese Pavillion sells merchandise that is from and sold in Japan.

HOW did I guess you were a HK fan? UGH! I can't STAND it! For I don't even know what reason! It just drives me out of my MIIND! I started being a no-hello-kitty boycotter in 8th grade though, when my friend brought a book cover in...I just put my foot down right there and have been a NO-HELLO-KITTY person since then (all in good fun, of course). And yet, it's at the Japanese pavillion.

AND...if it was a Chinese import...shouldn't it really be in China?

to solve any problems..heres some history of Hello Kitty...she was never Chinese..but japanese

Hello Kitty (ハローキティ Harōkiti) is one of the many fictional characters produced by the Japanese company Sanrio, and has long been the most popular one out of the company's characters. It is presented as a personified white cat, with the most distinctive feature being a bow or some other decoration on her left ear. Copyrighted in 1976, Hello Kitty is now a globally known trademark.

History
Hello Kitty was originally created by Sanrio designer Ikuko Shimizu in 1974. Shimizu left the company about a year later. The second designer, Setsuko Yonekubo, took over for five years until 1980 when the task was given to Yuko Yamaguchi. who still holds the position.

Hello Kitty was given an English pedigree because British culture was popular with Japanese girls at the time of her creation. Kitty's name came from one of the cats that Alice kept in the book Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. When Hello Kitty's boyfriend "Dear Daniel" was created in 1999, designers took his name from the 1971 film, Melody, which starred Mark Lester as a character called Daniel, and features songs by the Bee Gees.

Hello Kitty's fictional world includes a whole array of friends and family members. Since 2004 she has even had a pet cat of her own called Charmmy Kitty, and a pet hamster called Sugar. Charmmy resembles Hello Kitty but has more cat-like features. Charmmy Kitty was given to Hello Kitty by her father, George White and boyfriend Dear Daniel.
