The white kitty that made history

Bosanimal ( ja:ぼさにまる) is a group of animal characters introduced in 2021. [331] [332] The name is a combination of the word "animal" and the Japanese term "bosa bosa" which means both disheveled hair and idling time away. [333] [334] The group includes many different animals like rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, and squirrels, living alongside humans. [331] Designed by the Sanrio designer Amy who also created Gudetama. [335] [336] She got the idea for the series when she read about a guide dog working with a Sanrio employee. [332] The series has a theme of embracing diversity, working and living together despite differences, and accepting that people have days when they are a bit "bosa bosa" or dishevelled. [332] In 2015, a nine-foot tall pearlescent Hello Kitty sculpture by artist Sebastian Masuda was exhibited at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in New York City, as part of the Japan Society's exhibition: Life of Cats: Selections from the Hiraki Ukiyo-e Collection.

The series is targeted towards females aged 15–20, who are too shy to express their feelings towards others.
