That is the fear of executives at the Sanrio Corporation, the Japanese company that created the cute, cartoonish white cat in 1974, and groomed her into a global marketing phenomenon worth $5 billion a year.

In Japan and around the world, Hello Kitty has been licensed over the years for products that include dolls, clothes, lunch boxes, stationery, kitchenware, a Macy’s parade balloon and even an Airbus owned by Taiwanese airline EVA Airways. But amid signs that Hello Kitty’s pop-culture appeal is waning, especially at home, where sales have shrunk for a decade, the company has struggled to find its next-generation version of adorable.

Sanrio’s other flops include Spottie Dottie, a pink-frocked Dalmatian, and Pandapple, a baby panda. Even the moderately successful My Melody (a rabbit) and TuxedoSam (penguin) show no signs of achieving global Kitty-ness.

“We badly need something else,” said Yuko Yamaguchi, who has been Sanrio’s top Hello Kitty designer for most of its 36 years. “Characters take a long time to develop and introduce to different markets,” Ms. Yamaguchi said. “But Kitty has been so popular it’s overshadowed all our other efforts.”

One of Sanrio’s latest efforts is Jewelpet, a group of 33 sparkly eyed animals each with its own look. Diamond the black kitten is ladylike and decks out in pink bows. Sapphire is cool and prefers to wear blue. Sanrio’s thinking is that with so many to choose from, one has to stick.

A Sanrio savior would arrive not a moment too soon.

In a closely watched ranking of Japan’s most popular characters, compiled each year using sales data by the Tokyo-based research firm Character Databank, Hello Kitty lost her long-held spot as Japan’s top-grossing character in 2002 and has never recovered.

In the latest survey, released this month, Kitty ranked a distant third, behind the leader, Anpanman, a character that is based on a Japanese jam-filled pastry and is produced by Nippon Television. The second spot is still held by the venerable game and animation brand Pokémon, owned by Nintendo.

Sanrio is also being usurped by smaller, nimbler rivals. The formerly little-known stationery maker San-X has scored two huge hits in Japan with its panda character, Tarepanda, and its bear, Rilakkuma — which has charged up the Character Databank charts, ranking fifth in the latest survey.

“The character business is basically a wide-open field,” Hikaru Takayama, chief executive of Fanworks, an animation and character consultancy here, said at a recent convention of the Tokyo Contents Market. “It all comes down to management.”

“Going forward, perhaps smaller companies will be quicker to come out with new ideas,” Mr. Takayama said. “Characters can develop into manga, anime, potentially a big business,” he said, referring to the popular Japanese comic book and animation art forms.

Sanrio’s sales, which come from products as well as licensing, have been shrinking for 10 consecutive years since 1999. The company’s overall sales in Japan fell 3.3 percent in the 12 months ending in March, Sanrio announced Friday, as both licensing and sales of good slumped. Hello Kitty fatigue is hitting Japan first, and hard, the company indicated.

But a one-time 28 percent jump in overseas sales — which Sanrio attributed to an accounting change, as well as several big contracts overseas tied to Hello Kitty’s 35th birthday celebrations — helped the company swing back to a net profit of 4.37 billion yen, in contrast to a loss of 1.50 billion yen the previous year.

Sanrio now relies on overseas sales for 30 percent of its revenue, the company’s executive director, Susumu Emori, said Friday. But Mr. Emori was cautious about Sanrio’s future overseas prospects. “The last quarter was extraordinary, and we expect both sales and profit to fall this year,” he said.

Analysts say part of the problem is that Sanrio has oversold Hello Kitty, which appears on products as various as T-shirts, toilet paper and toasters. Sanrio was recently forced to write off the 500 million yen in debt held by Harmony Land, one of its two character theme parks in Japan, after a falloff in visitors, although the park remains open.

“Sanrio was initially very careful in making sure the Hello Kitty phenomenon didn’t get out of hand,” said Naohiro Shichijo, an associate professor in creative industries at the Waseda Institute for Advanced Studies in Tokyo. “That’s the unspoken rule of the character business: you can’t let a character get too wildly popular all at once,” he said. “You want to go for longevity.”

Hello Kitty, introduced on a vinyl coin purse in 1974, became an instant phenomenon in Japan, and sales at Sanrio grew sevenfold in the cat’s first three years. But even then Sanrio’s founder and president, Shintaro Tsuji, expressed nervousness that consumers would burn out on the brand. Sanrio’s sales tapered off in the late 1970s, and then again in the mid-1990s when Japan entered a long economic slump.

But around 2000, Kitty surprised Sanrio by rebounding in a big way, with Hollywood stars wearing the cat on T-shirts and carrying Hello Kitty bags.

“But when you have a boom, you have a bust,” said Mr. Shichijo, the professor. “People get sick of it. Now Sanrio’s in trouble.”

Sanrio has tried to keep Hello Kitty up to the times: sensing a move away from Japan’s love affair with the cute, or “kawaii” aesthetic, it has pushed an edgier look for the cat in the last three years, using as much black as pink.

Still, a sense of crisis is evident at the Tokyo offices of Sanrio, where 30 designers, led by Ms. Yamaguchi, are charged with developing new characters. At periodic product meetings, each designer presents as many as 20 characters for consideration by Ms. Yamaguchi. Of those, perhaps a dozen are chosen for trial sales at a pilot Sanrio store in Tokyo.

These days, designers are also urged to make sure their characters work across multiple media — a lesson Sanrio learned the hard way with Hello Kitty. Because Kitty had no mouth, it was difficult for the cat to break into television animation, depriving Sanrio of a lucrative source of revenue.

When the company created a talking Kitty for a pilot cartoon series, it set off a fury among fans loyal to the cat’s mouthless look, Ms. Yamaguchi said.

And though Sanrio goes to great length to create back stories for its characters — Kitty, for example, was born in London and likes to eat cookies — that biography is not compelling enough to draw many fans, according to analysts, who cite weak characterization as a drawback in Sanrio’s product lines.

Characters developed by Walt Disney, in contrast, typically make their debuts in blockbuster movies that propel them to fame and provide a springboard for further storytelling. The hit Disney animated film “Lilo & Stitch,” for example, which featured a Hawaiian girl and an alien friend, made a successful transition to a television series, all the while bringing merchandising and licensing income to Disney.

In fact, “Lilo & Stitch” has been so popular even in Japan that the series has been localized — with a Japanese girl named Yuna in place of Lilo and Okinawa replacing the Hawaiian setting.

Sanrio’s designers are also told to aim their new characters at children in elementary school or younger — even if much of the marketing, especially in Japan, will be aimed at older consumers. When younger children embrace a character, many tend to remain fans even later in life, said Miyuki Okumura, the lead designer behind the Jewelpet series. “If a character captures the heart of a little girl, she’s going to love that character into her teens, at least,” Ms. Okumura said. “Then when she has children, she’ll again buy that character for them,” she said. “That’s what we’re aiming for.”

If you are shopping for a Hello Kitty wireless mouse there are some things you should keep in mind as you search.

One of the first things you should watch for is compatibility. If a Hello Kitty wireless mouse is made by a certain company, it may only work with a certain computer. A Hello Kitty wireless mouse that goes to a Mac computer may not work with a PC, and vice versa. Make sure the mouse you are looking at is compatible with your computer.

You also need to check on the range of the Hello Kitty wireless mouse you are thinking about getting. If you are planning on sitting across the room from your computer while using the wireless mouse, you need to make sure that the signal is strong enough to reach that far.

You will also want to check into the kind of technology the Hello Kitty wireless mouse is using. There are multiple types of technology that these mice utilize, the two most popular are USB and Bluetooth. The main drawback to Bluetooth is that the computer you are using has to be Bluetooth enabled, and models more than two years old usually are not.

The most popular type of Hello Kitty wireless mouse is the USB connected mouse. These are very easy to use, just plug in and go. There are a few different types of USB mice, and you should just pick the one that you think will work best for you. Optical and laser technology are the most popular, because they are sensitive to the motion of the mouse and work with many surface types.

There are a couple drawbacks to having a Hello Kitty wireless mouse. One of them is that you always should have an extra set of batteries for the mouse nearby. This may mean in the drawer of your desk, or in your laptop bag. Sometimes it is difficult to predict when the batteries are going to die, so you always want more in case it happens at an inopportune time.

Another drawback of these mice is that children can easily pick them up and carry them off. If you have kids that are prone to doing things like this, you will need to find a place to put your mouse so it is less likely to disappear on you.

Overall, a Hello Kitty wireless mouse is a very convenient piece of equipment. You don't have any extra cords to deal with, and most mice as so advanced that you aren't even required to have a mouse-pad anymore.

All Hello Kitty wireless mice are actually competitively priced despite the more advanced technology. In fact, unless you plan on purchasing a gaming grade mouse, you'll be hard pressed to find any hard-wired mice in a computer store today. Since they allow so much freedom and are reliable, most people consider them to be the gold standard. With a little searching, you are sure to find the Hello Kitty wireless mouse that will fit your wants and needs.

Cell phone covers are the most requested accessory for any cell phone. Having a stylish cell phone has become a great way to show that you take the time to pick and use your personal items. And adding a Hello Kitty cell phone cover shows off your style, humor, and unique attitude.

With the world-wide popularity of Hello Kitty you can rest assured that there is a plethora of Hello Kitty cell phone covers available. Some cell phones use a cover that can be taken off the phone and simply replaced with a new. Typically there is a release button on the phone, and the cover comes right off with no hassle. Then you can opt to replace your old cover with whatever Hello Kitty cell phone cover catches your fancy.

In the event your phone does not use a removable cover, you may purchase a Hello Kitty cell phone cover that either slips on or snaps over the original case. These types of covers are available in hard plastic, vinyl, silicone, and leather. Most local malls typically host a cell phone cover kiosk, giving you access to a wide assortment of covers to select among. Furthermore, most associates are willing to help you install your new cell phone cover on the spot.

These are available in a large assortment of colors along with a variety of Hello Kitty images. This type of cover simply slides over your phone providing a flawless, tight fit.

Additionally, rubberized Hello Kitty cell phone covers are available and are similar to the skin styles. Rubberized covers protect your phone, are widely available and some even have a belt clip. These are a less expensive option as compared to their silicone counterparts.

However, if price is a concern for you, consider purchasing a Hello Kitty snap on cover, usually costing approximately five dollars if you shop around. Be aware, these cases are no where near as durable as the silicone or rubberized covers and many are colored over a white primer which eventually shows through on the edges.

Hello Kitty Coffee Cups

Hello Kitty may be known all over the world but here in Japan, Hello Kitty is fully integrated into society. Spend an afternoon on the trains or sitting at a coffee shop and you will see people with Hello Kitty cellphone face-plates, handbags, bicycle bells, and the list goes on and on.

When I moved to Japan several years back, I would chuckle under my breath whenever I saw an adult sporting anything with the Hello Kitty logo. After a couple of girlfriends and becoming accustomed to Japanese society, I have come to appreciate Hello Kitty. Well, perhaps 'appreciate' is not the appropriate term; for me Hello Kitty is dasakawai, Japanese for 'so uncool that it becomes cool again.

Myself, I have collected several Hello Kitty theme minidisc players, a couple of yoyo's, a bicycle bell, and now I can add coffee tumblers to my list.

Granted, I would have preferred these cups to hold more coffee but hey, it is Hello Kitty and we all know that overrides all else.
