TYO: 8136 is a Japanese company that creates a range of (mostly) design series that features characters, and sells and licenses various products branded with thesecharacters. These products include stationery, school supplies, gifts and accessories. Sanrio\'s best known character is Hello Kitty, a white cat with red bow and no mouth. Hello Kitty is one of the most successful marketing brands in the world.[citation needed]\nSanrio products stand at a commercialconvention\nSanrio products stand at a commercial convention\nSanrio was started by Shintaro Tsuji as the Yamanashi Silk Company in 1960, using 1 million yen in capital. The company produced a line of character merchandise around gift-giving occasions. It wasn\'t until 1973 that the company was officially established under the name \"Sanrio.\" The word Sanrio comes from the Spanish words \"san\" (a shortened form of \"santo\"—\"saint\", \"saintly\", \"sacred\"—used in giving saints\' names) and \"río\"(\"river\").[1]\nBesides selling their famed character goods, Sanrio also takes part in movie production andpublishing. They also participate in the fast food industry, running a franchise of KFC in Saitama. They also own the rights to the Peanuts characters in Japan. Sanrio also has an animatronics company branch called Kokoro Company, Ltd. (\"Kokoro\" being the Japanese word for \"heart\"), best known forthe android, Actroid.\nSanrio is the largest greeting card manufacturer in Japan. In 2002, they began a joint business venture with the Walt Disney Company for their greeting cards.\nHello Kitty was added to the early characters of Sanrio in 1974 and was released in 1975. The popular mouthless felinehas had both peaks and drops in sales over the years, but always has been the highest contributor to Sanrio\'s sales. Other notably popular characters through the years have been The Little Twin Stars (created by Mr. Tsuji himself), My Melody, Keroppi, Tuxedo Sam, Badtz-Maru, Tenorikuma, Usahana, Pochacco, Chococat, and Cinnamoroll. Sanrio constantly adds new characters to its lineup (up to three a year), so some of the older characters go into retirement. Some of Sanrio\'s newest characters are Charmmy Kitty (Hello Kitty\'s pet cat), Kuromi (My Melody\'s rival) and Chi Chai Monchan (a pink monkeywho balances bananas on his head.) For a time, Osamu Tezuka\'s baby unicorn character Unico, who starred in two feature-length anime movies in the early 1980s, was also part of the Sanrio empire; however, the rights to Unico shifted to Tezuka\'s own company after Tezuka\'s death in 1989.In late 2003, Sanrio won the \"Top Brand with a Conscience\" award from the Medinge Group of Sweden for its communication principles. The company has partnered with UNICEF since 1984.Sanrio also hosts two theme parks in Japan, Sanrio Puroland in Tama, Tokyo, and Harmonyland [1]in Hiji,Ōita, Kyūshū.\nSanrio Inc., Sanrio\'s American subsidiary that produces most of the merchandise found in franchise boutiques, has its office in South San Francisco, California. Sanrio\'s first Western hemisphere store opened in San Jose\'s Eastridge Mall. There are eighteen \"flagship\" locations across the country, and in 2005 Sanrio opened its first high-end boutique called Momoberry at Beverly Center in Los Angeles.\nIn 2006 Sanrio went Digital with a joint venture with Typhoon Games and launched Sanrio Digital to expand its brand and revenues through the Internet, Online Games and Mobile Services.\n\"The Adventure of Hello Kitty&Friends\" is the first ever made Hello Kitty TV series animation in 3D. The animation is licensed by Sanrio Digital and produced by Dream Cortex. The first season with 26 episodes will premier on select networks in Europe and Asia, including Hong Kong, beginning in the first quarter of 2008.My Melody was the first major bunny character released by Sanrio. She is completely white, but she wears a red or pink hood and a red heart tattoo. Her riding hood usually has a pink bow, but it sometimes has a flower. My Melody was first featured wearing a red hood, but it soon became a pink hood. She is sometimes accompanied by her friends; a pink lamb named Piano, a blue mouse named Flat, an orange squirrel named Risu, her younger brother Rhythm, and her nemesis Kuromi.\nTakashi Murakami (村上隆, Murakami Takashi?, born 1 February 1962 in Tokyo) is a prolific contemporary Japanese artist who works in both fine arts media, such as painting, as well as digital and commercial media.
