Cinnamoroll

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy whose ears are long enough to fly with, which is the single idea the whole design rests on and it is a good one — it gives an otherwise plain white character a silhouette nothing else in the roster has. He has topped Sanrio's annual character popularity ranking more times than any other character in recent years, repeatedly beating Hello Kitty, which is not widely known outside the fandom.

Who is Cinnamoroll?

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy whose ears are long enough to fly with, which is the single idea the whole design rests on and it is a good one — it gives an otherwise plain white character a silhouette nothing else in the roster has. He has topped Sanrio's annual character popularity ranking more times than any other character in recent years, repeatedly beating Hello Kitty, which is not widely known outside the fandom. The name comes from the curl of his tail resembling a cinnamon roll, and the profile is characteristically minimal: he lives in a café, he is shy, his tail is curled. As with the rest of Sanrio the absence of story is deliberate rather than lazy — the character is designed to be applied to objects, and a plot would only get in the way of that.

What Cinnamoroll looks like on a shirt

Signature motif: A white puppy with very long ears, blue eyes and a curled tail

Pure white with pale blue is a soft, low-contrast palette that needs a coloured garment to work — this is one of the few characters here that reads better on pastel blue or pink than on white or black. The long-eared silhouette is the identifier.
