AUTHENTIC Hello Kitty Kuromi Baku Sanrio Halloween Costume Purple Lolita Dress Devil My Melody Gothic Cute Kawaii Exclusive Pin Silver Badge Loungefly Hot Topic Limited Edition Boxlunch Fantasy Collectible Metal Lapel Enamel Collectors New Japanese Anime

I am selling this super rare collectible Hello Kitty Sanrio Brand Kuromi and Baku enamel trading pin. This pin is highly collectible and has been sold out everywhere. It only had a very short exclusive run through a company called Loungefly (I'm pretty sure anyway) that sold in hot topic and boxlunch stores. They are all gone because this was a special edition pin. It is much more adorable in person than in the photos. But I tried to take lots of photos to show its adorable-ness.

This pin is a special edition I am pretty sure it was released for celebrating the Halloween in 2022. It is Kuromi - one of Hello Kitty's friends -and she is dressed up in a gothic purple lolita style dress. This is a perfect item for the Sanrio Hello Kitty collector as well as the enamel pin artistic and Kawaii Cartoon anime collector.

This is from Wikipedia about this character:

Sanrio Company, Ltd. (株式会社サンリオ, Kabushikigaisha Sanrio)[4] is a Japanese entertainment company. It designs, licenses, and produces products focusing on the kawaii ("cute") segment of Japanese popular culture. Their products include stationery, school supplies, gifts, and accessories which are sold worldwide, including at specialty brand retail stores in Japan. Sanrio's best-known character is Hello Kitty, a little cartoon girl cat[5][6][7] and one of the most successful marketing brands in the world.[8]

Hello Kitty (ハローキティ, Harō- Kitexī), also known by her full name, Kitty White (キティ・ホワイト, Kithī Howaito), is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio, created by Yuko Shimizu, and designed by Yuko Yamaguchi. She is portrayed as a female white Japanese Bobtail Cat with a red bow worn on her left ear and often wears blue overalls with a yellow shirt on top. The character's first appearance on an item, a vinyl coin purse, was introduced in Japan in 1974. In Hello Kitty's Paradise, Hello Kitty & Friends, and Growing Up with Hello Kitty, she has gray paw pads. Hello Kitty's favorite food is her mama's apple pie.

This character is a staple of the kawaii segment of Japanese pop culture. The Hello Kitty trademark has spread globally; Sanrio earned over $1 billion annually in sales outside of Japan, as of 2003. Although mainly aimed at the pre-adolescent female market, the Hello Kitty product range goes all the way from purses, stickers and pen sets to toasters, televisions, clothing, massagers, and computer equipment. It has a cult-like following among adults as well, especially in Asia, where Hello Kitty adorns cars, purses, jewelry and many other high-end consumer products. Several Hello Kitty TV series, targeted towards young children, have also been produced. Examples of products depicting the character include dolls, stickers, greeting cards, clothes, accessories, school supplies, dishes and home appliances. Her fame has led her to the creation of two officially licensed theme parks, Harmonyland and the indoor Sanrio Puroland.

Her official character profiles for Hello Kitty, her real name is Kitty White and she was born in the suburbs of London, England on November 1st. Her height is described as five apples and her weight as three apples. She is portrayed as a cute, bright, sweet, kind-hearted and tomboyishly beautiful girl, who's very close to her sister Mimmy. She is good at baking cookies (although she claims that she is an awful chef in The Wonderful Sisters) and loves Mama's homemade apple pie. She likes to collect small cute things. She is a 3rd grade student and her favorite subjects in school are English, music and art. Her blood type is A. Her trademark signature is a red bow on her left ear.

Merchandise

Hello Kitty can be found on a variety of consumer products ranging from school supplies to fashion accessories. These products range from everyday items to rare collectibles.

Kitty as the intro to Hello Kitty and Friends

Kuromi (クロミ, Kuromi) is My Melody's rival, who is a white rabbit or imp-like creature wearing a black jester's hat with a pink skull on the front and a black devil's tail. The skull's facial expression changes to match Kuromi's mood. Fittingly, her birthday is Halloween (October 31st). Her name translates from Japanese to English as "black beauty".

Kuromi's appearance is also similar to those of cartoon characters from the 1990s such as Pichu from Pokémon. Kuromi has become a popular character for the punk, scene, and goth crowds due to her appearance.

Personality

Although she may look tough and punk, she is actually very girly and is attracted to good-looking guys! Kuromi enjoys writing in her diary and is hooked on romantic short stories. Her favorite colors are black and hot pink. Her favorite food is shallots, all kinds of meat, and in recent Kuromi merchandise cherries have been shown. Despite being a villain, Kuromi is mostly into food and even cooks. You might call her a rowdy free spirit.

Kuromi is the "punk" tomboy counterpart to My Melody. Although My Melody can get along with Kuromi, Kuromi's feelings are more inclined to rivalry to look tough.

Friends

Kuromi is the leader of a biker gang known as "Kuromi's 5." Other members include a purple cat named Nyanmi, a pale orange dog named Wanmi, a white fox named Konmi, and a grey and white rat named Chumi. They all wear black and drive around in a menacing fashion. They love riding their tricycles and causing havoc at breakneck speeds, similar to the yakuza-inspired "bosozoku" girl gang subculture in Japan.
