| Obverse description | This fantasy note is centred on a vignette of the Sanrio character Hello Kitty rendered in a cartoonish style, the figure positioned facing the viewer with one hand raised in greeting. The denomination 10000 and the legend BANK OF JAPAN appear alongside the inscription HELLO KITTY, with a further notation GOLD 999999 indicating the novelty gold-finish nature of the piece. The overall design mimics the layout conventions of a formal banknote while remaining an unofficial commemorative item with no legal-tender status. |

This is not a banknote issued by the Bank of Japan or any recognized monetary authority. Hello Kitty novelty notes are souvenir or gift items produced under Sanrio licensing — they carry no legal tender status and have never circulated as currency. Their collector value, such as it is, sits entirely in the novelty market, not numismatics.
