The previous description acted as if all tropers were American


Created by Yuko Shimizu and licensed by Creator/{{Sanrio}}, this little cat has been marketed in America just as long as she has been in Japan. For many of us, this was our first taste of anime [[SuperDeformed chibi]] art, and we didn't even know it yet. Unlike American cartoon animal mascots (like [[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]], Franchise/{{Garfield}}, or Franchise/MickeyMouse), she ''started out'' as a marketing icon, with actual media (including quite a few cartoons and VideoGames, including an MMORPG) all coming later.
