YUANLIN, Taiwan (AP) — Japan's iconic Hello Kitty has been recruited to help calm anxious mothers at a maternity hospital in Taiwan where the cartoon image adorns everything from walls to newborns' blankets .

Hau Sheng Hospital, located 95 miles south of Taipei, is the latest destination for the cute cat with a penchant for pink.

A giant Hello Kitty figure dressed in a pink doctor uniform greets visitors in the lobby, while colorful murals of the feline are found in recovery rooms, the nursery and on elevator doors.

that would work in the US too

Holy shit. Hello kitty is fucking huge here in japan. Grown ass women walking around with hello kitty purses and things.

I like me some hello kitty. I wish we would have that in American hospitals.

First-time father Chen Wen-sheng, 24, said he was pleased his son was born at Hau Sheng. "The place is quite pretty, and warm and fuzzy like Hello Kitty should be."

All hail Hello Kitty, Emperor of Japan.
