TOKYO — Hello Kitty turns 50 this month.

And that’s just in Japan, her literal birthplace but not the one listed in her official biography. Confused? Welcome to the party. If there’s one thing about Hello Kitty, it’s that she’s proven adaptable and as much a study in contrasts during her long career.
