My Melody, often called My Melo, debuted in 1975 and was created by Yasuko Matsumoto for Sanrio. She’s a white rabbit born in the forest of Mariland and is known for her pure heart and friendly nature. Inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, she wears her hood and often appears with Hello Kitty and Kuromi. My Melody’s love for baking, fashion, and helping others has made her one of Sanrio’s most beloved characters worldwide.
