Hello Kitty and the Quality of Cute Quiz

Answer: Dragonball Z

The word 'kawaii' literally translates as 'radiant face', referring to a blushing embarrassed woman, but it has come to be attributed to many international icons popular in Japan, such as: Mickey Mouse, Teletubbies, Winnie-the-Pooh, Chip and Dale, and even Snoopy.

While Care Bears, Sailor Moon, and Pikachu (of Pokemon) are all feminine and adorable, Dragonball Z is masculine mange/anime that is specifically targeted at young boys.

Answer: False

In August 2014, it was announced online that, contrary to people's assumptions that she was a cat, Hello Kitty is actually a third grade British girl living outside of London.

Answer: Yomiuriland

Hello Kitty Kawaii Paradise was opened in 2010 in the Odaiba area of Tokyo. And while Harmonyland is a popular Hello Kitty theme park on the southern island of Kyushu in the Oita Prefecture of Japan, Sanrio Puroland is a grander theme park outside of Tokyo.

There is a Hello Kitty Cafe in Seoul, South Korea, as well as the Hello Kitty House Cafe in Bangkok, Thailand.

Answer: Domo-kun

While all of these characters are cute and kawaii, Domo-kun is the popular mascot for NHK and his name is derived from the phrase 'dōmo, konnichiwa', which literally means 'well, hello there!' but it was then shortened to Domo-kun. Domo is so popular that he has manga, video games, and comic books dedicated to him.
