Who is Keroppi?

Who makes Keroppi products?
Keroppi is a Sanrio character. Sanrio sells its own Sanrio Original goods and also licenses its characters to other companies; on the official character page, goods made under licence are tagged “Sanrio License” and listed apart from Sanrio Original goods. For a sourcing project, ask which company holds the licence and which countries and product categories it covers.
What should buyers check?
His profile also introduces his family, and some licensed items are sold as group “Sanrio Characters” ranges. Say whether you want Keroppi alone or a group design, and make sure every character on the product is covered by the licence and the artwork approval.
