ハローキティ (English: Hello Kitty) was a series of Japanese original video animations (OVAs) released direct-to-video from 1989 to 1994, based on the popular franchise by Sanrio. These OVAs follow the adventures of Hello Kitty, her twin sister Mimmy and their friends in London, as well as retellings of classic fairy tales with キティ playing the lead role.

Many of these OVAs were dubbed into other languages as part of a larger Hello Kitty television series starting in 1994 with an English dub, being followed up by dubs in several other languages. Similarly, OVAs based on other Sanrio characters from this time period were compiled into a series known as Keroppi and Friends that, although sharing many of the same production staff as the Hello Kitty dubs, would air separately.

Several ハローキティ OVAs from this time period were released exclusively in Japanese, such as ハローキティのロンドンにおりた宇宙人. This page will only cover the OVAs that were, in fact, dubbed into other languages.

Trivia

• Most of these dubs have edited scenes from the original Japanese versions, or are missing scenes entirely, likely being edited/cut for time and content.
