kirby (series)

Video game series by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory. Known in Japan as Hoshi no Kirby (Kirby of the Stars). Best known for its overarching lore in spite of the game's overall cute asthetics.

There is also an anime adaptation that goes by the same name in Japan. When it was dubbed in English, it was given another name: Kirby: Right Back At Ya!

This tag shares the same Pixiv tag with Kirby's Dream Land. Please keep this in mind when adding copyright tags for Kirby art.
