'''Kirby''' is an inhabitant of [[wikirby:Popstar|Planet Popstar]] and the protagonist of the [[wikirby:Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. He lives in the kingdom of [[wikirby:Dream Land|Dream Land]], which is ruled by the corrupt [[King Dedede]].

Kirby defeats Dedede and his many minions by using his signature ability, inhaling items and enemies and spitting them out or copying their [[wikirby:Copy Ability|abilities]]. | '''Kirby''' is an inhabitant of [[wikirby:Popstar|Planet Popstar]] and the protagonist of the [[wikirby:Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]].
