He is a large blue portly bird-like man who proclaims himself the king of [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] and resides with his court in [[Castle Dedede]]. He claims jurisdiction and authority over the people of [[Cappy Town]], but they often ignore him in this regard. This behavior prompts Dedede to try and force their attention by calling [[monster]]s into Dream Land using the [[Night Mare Enterprises]] monster delivery system, though placing him in perpetual debt to N.M.E. in the process while his monsters are bested by [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]]. | ||
King Dedede is voiced by Ted Lewis in the English dub of the show and by Kenichi Ogata in the original Japanese version. In the Japanese version, he often ends his sentences with "zoi", which does not actually mean anything. | King Dedede is voiced by Ted Lewis in the English dub of the show and by Kenichi Ogata in the original Japanese version.

Although not serving as the | Although not serving as the true villain of the show (that role being held by [[eNeMeE]]), King Dedede appears in every episode, and in the vast majority of these, serves as Kirby's most direct antagonist. He typically does this by calling in [[monster]]s from [[Night Mare Enterprises]] at great personal expense to try to get rid of Kirby in any way he can think of, which it is later learned he does mainly because he is intensely jealous of Kirby's popularity among the King's subjects. Due in part to Kirby's power (or sheer luck) and his friends, and in part to Dedede's incompetence, these attempts to get rid of Kirby always ultimately fail, and usually (often literally) blow up in the King's face. | ||
When not trying to get rid of Kirby, King Dedede is often the cause of other problems in his kingdom, as he often hatches schemes that are self-serving in nature and cause problems for the kingdom and its subjects, whether that be attempting to bulldoze [[Whispy Woods Forest]] in order to build a country club, causing the kingdom to be buried in a sea of trash as a reprisal from N.M.E. for his failure to pay his debts, attempting to directly steal from his people or mind control them using [[Channel DDD]], or bullying various [[Cappy Town]] denizens by trying to undermine their roles, among many other things. | When not trying to get rid of Kirby, King Dedede is often the cause of other problems in his kingdom, as he often hatches schemes that are self-serving in nature and cause problems for the kingdom and its subjects, whether that be attempting to bulldoze [[Whispy Woods Forest]] in order to build a country club, causing the kingdom to be buried in a sea of trash as a reprisal from N.M.E. for his failure to pay his debts, attempting to directly steal from his people or mind control them using [[Channel DDD]], or bullying various [[Cappy Town]] denizens by trying to undermine their roles, among many other things. | ||
