Sally Hashimoto wears transformative daily outfits to achieve the regal look and even adds a phalanx of bodyguards when she goes outside.

Her extravagant costumes, crystal glass high-heels and sweet, high-pitched voice complete the “keeping young at heart” theme which has captivated many people on mainland social media.

Her security team protects her with, among other things, an umbrella, ensuring she can maintain the poise of a princess throughout the day.

Hashimoto began ballet training at the age of six and overcame an array of challenges to become a professional dancer for Sanrio Hello Kitty and a theme park in Shanghai.
