About

Hello Kitty Girl is internet slang for a particular type of e-girl with an affinity for Hello Kitty merchandise and aesthetics. In memes, a "Hello Kitty Girl" is depicted as attractive but emotionally unstable and potentially violent (similar to a "Yandere"). In January 2023, the character and archetype became the subject of memes, primarily on TikTok, in which men suffered injuries as a result of attempting to date a Hello Kitty Girl or trying to stop their friends from dating them. In late 2024, the viral Hello Kitty Girl and UCF Professor Travis Meade Dating Rumor Controversy notably caused the term to see a resurgence online.

Origin

While it's unclear when memes about "Hello Kitty Girls" exactly started, one of the earliest and most viral examples was posted on January 14th, 2023, by TikToker @melonnabba[1] (shown below). The clip shows a dramatic scene from the Dragon Ball anime, representing "me finding my homie after he went on a date with a Hello Kitty Girl." It gained over 440,000 likes in four days (shown below).

On January 15th, 2023, Urban Dictionary[2] user tratraffy then posted a definition for "Hello Kitty Girl," writing, "A girl who prolly got daddy issues and wears pink and black, she tend to dress like an egirl and she got hello kitty wallpaper or peluche." Some fictional characters who may fit the archetype are Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Violet from Neon White.

Spread

Over the following days in mid-January 2023, many other TikToks about "Hello Kitty Girls" were created. These generally used dramatic scenes from other pieces of media to represent the intense trauma caused by dating Hello Kitty Girls. For example, on January 17th, 2023, TikToker @.snaxxy[3] posted a meme using a clip from Demon Slayer, gaining over 67,000 likes in one day (shown below, left). The same day, user @akilotho[4] posted a video using Dragon Ball footage, gaining over 435,000 likes in one day (shown below, right).
