Fashionably Cute is happy to introduce a Japanese superstar that Cuteoverload would absolutely die for. It’s Memebon, possibly the world’s cutest kitten.

Memebon is a girl. She was born very tiny and looked like Yoda, but had an extremely expressive face, which promised a great career in modeling:

However Yoda is no relation. Memebon has a kitty mother:

Now she has grown and up looks like this (still cute):

Memebon’s website is in Japanese, but that shouldn’t be an obstacle for cuteness fans

Memebon (or quite possibly her owner) writes a blog (in Japanese) documenting the life of her family, she has also published two super-kawaii photo books, sold on Amazon Japan: Memebon and We Love Meme.

Memebon website also has a great bonus: wallpapers and icons with the kitty familly.

More cute photos after the jump. Very image heavy All photos courtesy of Memebon’s blog.
