Pre-orders for the mobile phone "Hello Kitty FIGURINE KT-01" with the motif of Sanrio's popular character "Hello Kitty" have started. Release is scheduled for mid-May or later.


This product is a two-fold type mobile phone that faithfully reproduces Hello Kitty. It is finished in a three-dimensional design like a palm-sized mascot.


The functions are narrowed down to calls, phone books, and SMS, and it is compatible with IP phones with low call charges in anticipation of demand for second smartphone users. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication can also be used, and since it is SIM-free, you can also use your own microSIM.


In addition to the appearance, Hello Kitty is incorporated into the built-in software, and you can enjoy a cute design on the home screen and icons.


The price of the starter pack is 16,740 yen (tax included, a separate line contract with Aura is required). In addition to Amazon.co.jp, reservations are scheduled to start from May 1st at about 90 convenience store chains, Three F, in Yokohama and Yamato, Kanagawa Prefecture. In addition, some Sanrio shops also handle it.
