"NPC" is short for "Non-Player-Characters". It's a common term in RPGs (role playing games) and MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role playing games). Most often the word "NPC" is only used for peaceful entities belonging to intelligent races/peoples, while "mob" (moving object) is more often used for "animals" or "monsters" in computer-based RPGs.
In Sanrio Land you will meet well-known and also not-so-well-known characters from the brand/label and imaginative world of "Hello Kitty". Nearly every character in the "world" of Hello Kitty is a talking animal, wearing clothes and behaving like a human would.
The world and characters of Hello Kitty were first only designed as a brand/label for lots of different products, but also made into a television-anime-series and several games. The characters were then given more details like birthday-dates and -places, different personalities, daily activities like going to school or running a coffeeshop (serving coffee of course), favorite food, hobbies like doing sports and so on.
Most of the NPCs on Sanrio Land will provide you with Quests in HKO to lead you to the goal of the game - of freeing the sleeping NPCs and Hello Kitty herself.
