Hello Kitty
The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:
Oracle most unpest like,
Is 'Hello Kitty' a demon from the lower regions of Hell?
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
Hello Kitty is a twinkling-eyed cartoon character which was invented
and promoted by a Japanese company called Sanrio in 1974. Sanrio is
famous for their cute, adorable cartoon characters, of which Hello
Kitty is one, along with others such as Keroppi, Melody...etc. This
line of cute little characters soon attracted millions of people around
the world, starting in the US then spreading very quickly to the Asian
countries, then the rest of the world. Hello Kitty is the most
successful of all the Sanrio characters. Hello Kitty has produced
different products all around the world, including wallets, watches,
clothing, fabrics, Polaroid cameras, portable CD players/stereos,
handkerchiefs, different stationaries, cutleries, lunchboxes,
puppets... the list goes on and on. In Japan, the car company Mira also
built a Hello Kitty car, and even Hello Kitty cellular phones are
available.
In other words: Yes.
You owe the Oracle a share of the profits.
