Ichigoman (イチゴマン, Ichigoman) is a girl cat Sanrio character who debuted in 2011 and is Hello Kitty's superhero alter-ego. The name "Ichigoman" translates from Japanese to English as "strawberry man." Her birthday is on January 15th, the day Hello Kitty transformed into Ichigoman for the first time.
Character Information[]
Ichigoman debuted during the Hello Kitty Art Exhibition that was held at Matsuya Ginza in Tokyo from August 24 - September 5, 2011. She's a superhero that fights monsters that were created by humans with wicked, unhappy hearts.
One day at a library, Kitty stumbled upon an ancient picture book. The book contained a mysterious strawberry-shaped smartphone. When she was suddenly surrounded by evil forces, she raised the smartphone into the air, combined with the energy of people cheering her on, turning her into the superhero Ichigoman, ready to fight dark forces and protect the town.
Appearance[]
She wears a white shirt, red gloves, green trousers with a red belt with a strawberry, and red boots, and has strawberry accessories on both ears, but otherwise looks just like the regular Kitty White.
