Love Hello Kitty!!!
The whiteness of hello kitty is a reflection of the internalized systemic racimatic intersectionalitation of the Asian diasporatic oppression. Why CNN supports this racism through photographic oppression is beyond infurioration. cancelracism cnnfacism blm
His grandson must be close to normal retirement age.
This is racist!!
Uh oh! Look out folks! Hello Kitty might have to retire too because she doesn't 'reflect the core values' of her fana or some bullshit thing.
Its fkng Chinese anyway....
So, it's now 'Goobye Pussy'?
That's true legacy
He should have handed that company to some Oppressed Black lives matters rioter.
My 5th grade teacher absolutely loved hello kitty she was so cool❤️
Stay in character, CNN: Breaking CNN news! 'Asian man attacked by white supremist kitten!'
Enjoy retirement, Papa Tsuji. Thank you for the small gifts and big smiles over the years.
ohhelloshow .....
I loved and still love Sanrio. They play a big role in young asian girls lifes.
Meanwhile follow me I'll follow back immediately
My first Hello Kitty item was a Hello Kitty pencil & eraser with the sweetest bubble gum scent, purchased in 1978-79 at a very tiny Hello Kitty store in Torrance, Ca called Sanyo ( or Sanrio?) Gifts. The little corner mall is still there, the gift store, of course, is not....
This is just like the theme plot of the wolverine
A perfect porecelin complexion; no mouth to talk back; never ages; and fits in the palm of your hand--what more could you want from a female?

Breezing change from Black Protest Supporting, Trump Hating news of fake news factory CNN
CRP News CNN, did you see this ? ....
Excerpt from bleow article: 'You might expect her to be popular with young girls, but the convention proves that Hello Kitty fans are of every age and stripe, and with a limitless thirst for Hello Kitty-related activities. What’s the appeal?' It a curious phenomenon, for sure.
Also CNN: 'Orange Man Bad!'
Pretty sure that company is known for more than hello Kitty. Would have been nice if you had at least just named the company.
You never hear it all!

I think they wanted to call it Hello pussy, but then someone told them choose something. So they went with Hello Kitty. Big children pervs in Japan.
Damn, he lived long enough to NOT pass it on to his kids but rather his Grandson! This move speaks volumes

How creepy is that picture? Didn't realize 'Hello Kitty' was Asian.
People have no work ethic these days.
Goodbye Kitty, then?
Well then bye-bye kitty.
Love Hello Kitty.
A 92 year old man 'handling' Hello Kitty doesn't sound right anyway.
Hello Tomokuni, hope Hello Kitty business will continue to grow with online marketing lisa_in_myheart
most of us know about Sanrio by now, it’s a household name.
He’s seen a LOT of pussy...
