(AP) -- Hello Kitty - Japan's most famous feline - is rediscovering its cultural roots. Upcoming products include digital cameras shaped like a cat's head to stationery featuring the bubble-headed mascot in Kabuki outfits, all part of a bid to emphasize the mascot's "Japanese-ness," says Sanrio Co, which makes Hello Kitty products and licenses her image.
