In 2002, Hello Kitty lost her place as the top-grossing character in Japan in the Character Databank popularity chart. In a 2010 survey, she was in third place behind Anpanman and Pikachu from Pokémon. [17] In 2010, The New York Times attributed the character's relative decline in Japan to her biography not being "compelling enough to draw many fans." The newspaper later wrote that analysts called the characterization "weak," [17] and that Hello Kitty not having a mouth has dampened her success as an animated TV character. [17] According to Character Databank, Hello Kitty was the third highest-grossing character in Japan as of 2013. [35] In 2019 and 2020, Character Databank ranked her fifth, and as of 2021 she was out of the top five.
