Nermal from Garfield

This is Nermal, a fatty little kitten neighbor of Garfield... He thinks he is the cutest kitten in the world, and he really is cute, but maybe not that cute!

Astro Boy from Astro Boy

This is Astro Boy, a boy robot who was one of the first Japanese cartoon characters... and a very cute one. He appeared both in manga and in TV-series, and this year there is going to be a movie with him. He is going to look a little different though.

Leo Verdura from Leo Verdura

This is Leo Verdura, a vegeterian lion who is very friendly and not fierce at all. He appeared in El Pequeño País, a supplement to a Spanish newspaper, and later in a animation movie called Leo Natura. I love it!

Keroppi Hasunoue from Hello Kitty

This is Keroppi Hasunoue, my absolute favorite character from the Sanrio collection. I saw it in Japan for the first time, and I think this little frog is the cutiest merchandise character ever!

Hello Kitty from Hello Kitty

This sweet cat is Hello Kitty, a Japanese character appearing in almost every imaginable item. When I was in Japan, every major city had its own Hello Kitty. I really liked Hello Kitty in Miyajima.
