So, grab some Copy Abilities and head out on an exciting adventure!|Unofficial translation of the series description on the official novel website}}
'''''Kirby'''''<ref>''[[Kirby Art & Style Collection]]'' (pages 258 and 259)</ref> is an ongoing series of [[wikipedia:Light novel|light novels]] based upon the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], written by Mie Takase, illustrated by Tau and Poto Karino, and published primarily in Japanese by [https://tsubasabunko.jp/ Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko]. The series was originally exclusively available in Japanese until 2022, when [[Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!|the first volume]] was officially translated and published in French by [https://mana-books.com/ Mana Books]. Both the [[Kirby Star Allies: The Great Friend Adventure!|first]] and [[Kirby Star Allies: The Universe is in Trouble?!|second]] ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' volumes would go on to be officially translated and published in Korean as well. Later in early 2023, this was followed by the [[Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Start Running to the New World!|first]] and [[Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Break Out of the Dreams of the Isolated Isles!|second]] ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' volumes being translated and published into Korean alongside them. Despite this, the series remains unavailable in English.

The books are intended for young adult readers, and as such, each volume usually consists of roughly two hundred pages, split into as few as eight to as many as sixteen chapters, not counting prologues or epilogues. Usually, two or three new volumes are published in Japanese per year. A few dozen black-and-white illustrations are additionally used in each of the books to accompany specific scenes.

Much like in the anime, ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', the series takes place in its own unique [[canon]] that does not correlate with the games. It is much more accurate to the series overall compared to the anime series, however. Many volumes in the series take inspiration from the games by including characters, objects, and storylines from particular entries, though they do not solely take from the games, as many aspects are unique to the books just the same. Some installments take aspects from other media in the overall ''Kirby'' series, such as the real-world [[Kirby Café]], and several merchandise series, using them as a base for more fleshed out plotlines. The series stars [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]], [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]], [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]], and [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]] as the main characters. Kirby stars as the protagonist in most volumes, while King Dedede and Meta Knight occasionally receive their own respective novels where they are the protagonist instead. Waddle Dee is the only one of the four who hasn't starred in his own novel.

The series reached one million copies sold in 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/1131756743434706944 Kirby JP Twitter]</ref> and as of 2023, it has sold more than three million copies.<ref>[https://twitter.com/tsubasabunko/status/1687629499779760128 Tsubasa Bunko Twitter]</ref>

|A pink puffball with the ability to wield [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] by [[inhale|inhaling]] certain creatures.

|-
|{{center|[[File:Light Novel Meta Knight Artwork.png|150px]]<br>'''[[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]]'''}}
|A mysterious caped swordsman who wears a mask at all times. He is respectful and skilled with his blade, but has a short temper which can easily be set off if he is humiliated in any way. Although his true motives are usually unknown, he will step up to help his friends when they need him.
|-
|{{center|[[File:Light Novel Waddle Dee Artwork.png|150px]]<br>'''[[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]]'''}}
|A timid Waddle Dee prone to worry who is deeply loyal to King Dedede as his servant, despite the faulty treatment he receives in return. He is best friends with Kirby despite the rivalry between Dedede and the puffball. He often must switch between sides unknowingly to keep things from spiraling out of control. He is willing to help his friends when possible, and quick to finish a requested task.
Starting with ''[[Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!]]'', he gains a blue bandana, making him more analogous to [[Bandana Waddle Dee]].

*A "guest character" is considered to be a novel exclusive character, who usually only makes an appearance in a single volume and drives the plot forward in some significant way.
*A "recurring side character" is considered to be a character who usually is originally from the games, and appears at least twice over in the series, even if their role is insignificant.

Characters who deviate from these guidelines are considered minor characters, and are covered on [[Minor characters#Minor characters in the Kirby novel series|this page]].
