In the first "Power the Kitty!" short, Hello Kitty uses a smartphone to transform into the super hero character "Ichigoman" (Strawberryman) who fights off monsters that are born from wicked hearts.


Well, not like that phrase could ever be taken out of context. Very Happy

I thought Hello Kitty was a girl.
I mean, even here the cat has a bow (it says she in the article)... But when transformed... no shirt Smile ?
And IchigoMan ? I have to be totally missing something here, I mean seriously... Why Anime smile ?
I guess I can get behind a girl tranforming into a superhero guy but wouldn't it have made so much more sense- just nevermind.

Anyways, not much to really take on this. I know Hello Kitty is popular and all, but I'm really doubting people are gonna be watching too much of this.

They're using "man" as in person, not male. Pretty common in sentai shows like Bioman or Jetman where two of the team members are female. Japlish in action!
