Hello Kitty’s “Kitty Mama,” designer Yuko Yamaguchi, is in Honolulu this weekend to visit with fans at Sanrio Ala Moana from 1 to 2 p.m., 3 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 6 p.m. daily through Sunday, Dec. 2.

Guests will be able to meet and take photographs with Hello Kitty and Yamaguchi, who is in town from Sanrio headquarters in Tokyo.

The designer has guided the brand through various transformations for more than three decades at Sanrio, and elevated the pop icon’s status around the world.

Activities at Sanrio throughout the weekend include Hello Kitty-themed nail decorating workshops, bento box-making workshops and other unique experiences. The first 50 guests each day will receive a $5 gift card to use at Sephora Ala Moana on any Hello Kitty Beauty purchase.

Makeup artists will be available at Sephora from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Sunday, offering mini-makeovers using products from Hello Kitty Beauty.
