(→‎Kirby's Dream Land 2: Added locations of the fish. Levels where Rick is find by default, but Kine could also be found in (like Iceberg - Stage 1) are marked with a {{N}}, while levels where he is found in the same bag as the other two friends at random (like Iceberg - Stage 4) are marked with a {{Y}}. I think that this could be stated better, but as this is a Yes/No table, I don't know how could it be.)

'''Kine''' is an [[wikipedia:Ocean sunfish|ocean sunfish]] and one of [[Kirby]]'s six [[Animal Friend]]s, making his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. He is distinguished by his bright blue body, wide circular eyes, and gaping mouth, big enough to fit Kirby inside when they travel together. Pairing up Kine with Kirby allows for a number of different methods of attack based on what [[Copy Ability]] the pink puffball has, though these vary heavily in effectiveness.

== Characteristics ==
== Characteristics ==
Kine bears the distinctive shape of the ocean sunfish: a wide but flat circular blue body, with large circular eyes and a gaping mouth with heavy lips on one side, triangular yellow dorsal and ventral fins, and wide but stubby limbs and tail. This bodily configuration serves him well enough in the water - where he can swim with great speed - but on land, it leaves him clumsy, only able to hop about slowly. This clumsiness is particularly notable when he is paired up with Kirby and the other Animal Friends in cutscenes, where he is often the last in line, and often snubbed in fav{{o}}r of the typically more versatile Rick and Coo, who can sometimes be seen bullying him. Like the other Animal Friends, Kine is always angling to get Kirby to travel with him, and can be seen sobbing when Kirby picks someone else as a companion. Kine is particularly fond of [[apple]]s, and likes to play with them in cutscenes. He also has a tendency to latch onto Kirby using his mouth, whether Kirby wants him to or not.

Kine makes his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' as one of Kirby's three [[Animal Friend]]s. He is first encountered in the second stage of [[Ripple Field (Kirby's Dream Land 2)|Ripple Field]], where [[Master Green]] is guarding him, making him the last of the three friends to be found by Kirby. Apart from appearing in a number of stages, the sunfish is also seen in four level intros: in the Ripple Field intro, he unites with Kirby after being fed an apple; in [[Iceberg (Kirby's Dream Land 2)|Iceberg]], Kirby leaves him behind in fav{{o}}r of [[Rick]]; in Cloudy Park, he latches onto Kirby while the latter is stuck in a cloud; and finally, in [[Dark Castle]], he apparently falls asleep as Kirby and his friends are preparing to enter the castle.

When teamed up with Kine, Kirby is contained inside the sunfish's mouth. Being a fish, the latter is at a disadvantage on land, where he moves slower than other friends and continuously makes small hops as his method of "walking". Despite this, his jumping skills are equal to those of Rick. Kine's main strengths become apparent underwater, however; while paired up with him, Kirby may inhale foes while underwater and is also capable of swimming much faster than usual by repeatedly pressing the A button while diving. This increased swimming speed lets Kirby and Kine bypass strong currents, enabling them to reach areas that are otherwise inaccessible, and makes certain sections of stages easier to survive.

Like other Animal Friends, Kine will enhance any Copy Ability that Kirby possesses while the two are trave{{l}}ing together, turning it into a new, unique power. Unlike other abilities in the game, all of Kine's combination abilities can be used underwater to their full extent.

Apart from being an integral gameplay element, the sunfish is also seen in the various "time out" cutscenes between rounds, where he makes small hops while moving like in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', as well as in three of the pictures unlocked by completing certain modes. Finishing Hard mode shows him and Kirby riding across the sea in pirate costumes, and he is seen together with the other Animal Friends in the pictures awarded for completing Super Hard and Insane!.

Up to and including his ability to bypass water currents, Kine acts the same in this game as he does in his debut appearance, but possesses a slightly different array of combination abilities. He is the preferred target of the blue [[Propeller]] enemy, causing it to move faster. Abandoning Kine in fav{{o}}r of a different friend causes him to look devastated, tears appearing in his eyes.

Although Kine does not appear in person in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', using the [[Stone-Cutter]] [[Power Combo]] sometimes causes Kirby to transform into an invincible sculpture of him upon activating the ability. Unlike the other statues, the Kine form is immobile apart from being able to turn around, both on land and in water. Using the ability again while transformed shatters the sculpture, returning Kirby to his regular form.

Kine once more cameos as a Stone transformation in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]''. Instead of receiving his own separate statue, however, he is part of a sculpture consisting of all three of Kirby's original Animal Friends (Kine, [[Rick]], and [[Coo]]). As expected, this result only differs from other Stone forms in appearance and size.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', the Animal Friends statue from the original is replaced by the one from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', depicting Kine, Rick, and Coo in a [[Protective Bag]]. There is also a [[Mask|Dress-Up Mask]] based on Kine, unlocked upon completing [[Stamp Rally]] card #01 in [[Merry Magoland]]; this is one of two Dress-Up Masks in the game to have a gameplay effect beyond an aesthetic change, as it replaces the wearer's [[Water Gun]] with the [[Water]] ability's Enhanced Water Gun, an effect it shares with the [[Mine]] Dress-Up Mask. Additionally, a gold statue of Kine, Rick, and Coo appears in Merry Magoland after completing 10 [[Mission (Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe)|missions]], which seems to reuse the same pose of the original Animal Friends Stone transformation from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. Kine also makes a brief appearance in an image shown near the end of the [[staff credits]] in [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]], in which he can be seen sleeping on a bench in the [[Dream Kingdom]].

Kine is a recurring character in the anime ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. He is shown to have a crush on [[Tiff]], one of [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]]'s friends, with the episode [[A Fish Called Kine]] particularly focusing on this. Kine is portrayed as being somewhat dim-witted and stubborn, but also loving and determined. Unlike in the games, Kine has very little to do with Kirby directly, and is unable to survive for long on land, as would be expected for a fish. He is also somewhat smaller than he is in the games.

In the English dub of "[[A Fish Called Kine]]", Kine is mistakenly called a blue surgeon fish, when he is referred to as an ocean sunfish in Japanese. This was corrected in "[[The Kirby Quiz]]", where he is referred to as an ocean sunfish in both languages.

{{quote|Carefree, but reliable. Adept at fighting in the water.|Unofficial translation of Kine's description from ''[[Kirby: Save the Rainbow Islands!]]''}}
In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Kine appears as a deuteragonist in ''[[Kirby: Save the Rainbow Islands!]]'' together with [[Rick]] and [[Coo]]. He is a resident of the [[Rainbow Islands]] and one of [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]]'s [[Animal Friend]]s.
In ''[[Kirby: Save the Rainbow Islands!]]'', he comes to [[Dream Land]] with Rick and Coo to ask Kirby to help find the cause of the drought on the Rainbow Islands. Kine tells that even when it stopped raining in the Rainbow Islands, he and [[Mine]] didn't struggle as much as other fish due to being trained to live on land. In their search, the group finds [[Pirika]], who indicates at an intruder in the clouds as the culprit. Kine sets off to the lake in the cloud with the rest.
When they reach the lake, Kine prepares to jump into it, but [[Gooey]] stops him, starting a fight. After they flee from the battlefield, the group decides to investigate the lake by sending Kine into it, since he is the most fit for underwater combat. Kine cowers, so Pirika suggests that he will hold Kirby in his mouth so they both could fight, which he agrees to. Kine and Kirby prepare to jump into the lake, but Gooey tosses them onto the tree, making them fall unconscious, and another fight ensues. After Coo wakes Kine and Rick up, the three fight against their controlled friends. After Kirby falls unconscious, Kine sprays water to wake him too.
As they catch a break, Kine and the others listen to Gooey telling his side of the story. Kine notices movement in the [[Protective Bag|pouch]], and [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] and [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]] break out, continuing the fight. It is cut short after Kirby inhales all the lake water. Kine and Rick run over to Kirby, who is in great pain. Despite their worries, Kirby shortly wakes up. After the rain returns, Kine swims happily in the purified water of the lake. He returns to the land and meets Mine once again.
