This reflects | As portrayed by Ohmoto, Kirby's voice is high-pitched with inflections similar to that of a toddler first learning to speak. This reflects his often infantile nature, and supports the idea that Kirby may be a juvenile of [[Kirby (species)|his species]] (an idea which is implemented in [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|the anime]]). As such, Kirby does not use very many words in his vocalizations, though it is implied that — much like [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]] and [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]] — Kirby is indeed capable of complex speech, though the player is not privy to what Kirby says to other characters. All the player hears instead are Kirby's grunts, cheers, and inflections, peppered only with occasional words such as his signature elongated "Hi!" In the anime, Kirby is known for spouting the babble-word "poyo" repeatedly in place of speech which, unlike the games, is what other characters hear instead of actual speech. He also occasionally repeats words that he hears other characters say, which is more apparent in the Japanese version. When Kirby gains a [[Copy Ability]], he will also gain the ability to shout whichever words may be associated with the move he has copied, which is evident in both the anime and in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] when he copies his opponents. | ||
