Sanrio's name
I wonder (I'm still really a newbie to Sanrio though am a dormant fan if that makes sense) where Sanrio's name came from. Is it from -san and Leo (as in lion) or maybe sun lion. Cute. From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 09:31, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Nm I found two official answers on Wikipedia and added it and sources to Sanrio.. From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 17:41, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- In an issue of The Strawberry News they revealed a history/gallery of all (if I remember right) the logos. :o ^^ I meant to scan them but never got around to it. As many know it used to be a silk center, and one statement is that Sanrio's name is based around that.. From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 12:33, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- Shintaro Tsuji is nicknamed the Strawberry King, like The Strawberry King. The Japanese community of older fans knows there may be disinformation. I clarified this somewhere. From EvieMelody ✿ 17:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

"Name origin of Sanrio Kore ga Sanrio no Himitsu Desu. (これがサンリオの秘密です。) states that Sanrio is an alternative reading of its older name Yamanashi [Silk Center] (Sanri) and the exclamation "ou" for excitement. Of note, an old nickname of Shintaro Tsuji's is the "Strawberry King" (king, 王 is ou) (not to be confused with the character). This meaning seems to have been lost to time, with Sanrio Europe claiming it comes from san ('holy') and río ('river')" From EvieMelody ✿ 17:08, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Favourite Sanrio character
Who's your favourite? Mine is My Melody. Cinnamoroll is also adorable and reminds me of our dog Ruby. Also Friendly Kokochan I love and the Sugarbunnies. From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 17:42, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Hapidanbui
Main article: Hapidanbui
What do we think of this character brand? I found it interesting they expanded those existing universes like that ^^; maybe the last time was with the Cinnamoangels? (hmm) From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 12:35, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
Sanrio is deeper than people think
The Strawberry News has a lot of information about the legacy/merchandise/events/lore of all the characters, when usually lots (but not all) are restricted to the online character directories, like the official Japanese one. I gather it's like if you were a comic book fan, lots and lots of information is simply not on the Internet; so the discussion on Sanrio might often be the simple reasons like cuteness, or what's trending.
