Character Description
King Dedede is the selfish, self-proclaimed king of Dream Land. He has appeared as Kirby’s rival and nemesis in every Kirby game (with the exception of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror) since Kirby’s Dream Land. He is a hammer-wielding penguin with fine robes and a greedy disposition. While his more heinous actions are influenced by being possessed by Dark Matter, he is usually considered to be the main villain of the Kirby series, although, like Bowser, he has taken a less evil and more comical role in more recent games. King Dedede’s actions range from stealing Kirby’s strawberry shortcake in Kirby: Squeak Squad to breaking the Star Rod, source of power in the Fountain of Dreams, into seven pieces in Kirby's Adventure. However, he is not above teaming up with Kirby as a friendly rival on occasion, such as in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, or Kirby: Canvas Curse.
King Dedede also makes an appearance as a major character in the Kirby anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, once again as the self-proclaimed king. He is usually accompanied by his snail-like sidekick, Escargoon, and has an army of Waddle Dees at his command, akin to the games, with a single Waddle Doo as the commander. While he is the king, he appears to take no administrative role for the kingdom, and most of the characters simply ignore his rule. His role in the anime is much more comical than in the games, and his bumbling attempts to cause Kirby to become less popular usually end up failing miserably.
