This is more just my personal notes for what I want to do. I mostly focus on writing up music articles.

Open sandboxes:

Albums that are missing articles/sandboxes:

Composers that are missing articles:

Personal wants:

Leitmotifs we need to figure out what to do with:

Other:

  • Correct redlinks to use consistent names

Files I'm saving for future music articles:

CD catalog numbers:

Kirby CDs starting with The Sound of Kirby Café use catalog numbers beginning with KBCI or KBXI

Copy-toru card locations:

(each one takes place in a specific stage/level from the games)


Japanese pronouns for characters:

Basic meanings:

  • watashi (私, わたし, ワタシ): Basically the most "neutral" pronoun, polite and gender-neutral, though usually only used by men in formal situations while it's more common for women to use casually. In media, men who use watashi tend to be cold and aloof, if not outright villainous.
  • watakushi (私, わたくし, ワタクシ): More formal and humble version of watashi. Generally only used in business settings. Often used by salespeople, office workers, or (in media) high-class ladies.
  • atashi (あたし, アタシ): Informal and feminine variant of watashi. Often used by girls and women of all ages in casual settings. Usually gives a tomboyish vibe, but not as much as boku. Men in media sometimes use atashi if they're especially feminine.
  • boku (僕, ぼく, ボク): Informal and masculine. Commonly used by young boys until they "graduate" to ore, or by men in casual, friendly situations. A more childish variant usually only heard in media is ボクちん boku-chin. Girls sometimes use boku, but only in close company; in media, a girl who uses boku is usually tomboyish.
  • ore (俺, おれ, オレ): Pronounced oh-ray. Informal and masculine, with a "rougher" connotation than boku. Gives the impression that someone is strong and self-assertive, both in a good way and a bad way. Used by older boys and men, especially around other men. Almost never used by women outside of media.
  • ore-sama (俺様, オレさま): Variant of ore almost exclusively seen in media. Basically translates to "the great me" or "my wonderful highness". Very self-aggrandizing, nearly always used by men with bloated egos.
  • washi (儂, わし, ワシ): Old-fashioned variant of watashi. Used to be popular with men and women of all ages, now exclusively used in media by elderly characters. If you see this, you know the speaker is an old guy, basically.
  • ware (我, われ): Archaic masculine pronoun, used to give a character a formal, old-fashioned vibe, or otherwise used when making dramatic declarations. Often used by both heroes and villains. Plural variants are warera (我ら, われら; formal) and wareware (我々, われわれ; excessively formal).

Some of this info is taken from a Tumblr post made by kaialone (though I did most of this without realizing they made one...)

Character Pronoun Notes
Kirby ぼく (boku) Has always been Kirby's pronoun ever since the Twinkle Popo days.
King Dedede オレさま (ore-sama) Some older media depicts him using ワシ (washi), but it's been basically consistent since Kirby 64.
Meta Knight わたし (watashi)
Bandana Waddle Dee ボク (boku)
Kracko わたし (watashi) In the Kirby Fighters Deluxe pause screen.
Rick オレ (ore) in the novels, ぼく (boku) in old guides
Kine ボク or ぼく (boku) Sources alternate between the katakana (ボク) or hiragana (ぼく) spelling.
Coo オレ (ore)
Gooey ボク (boku) As seen in the name of his Guest Star route.
Chef Kawasaki ミー (mī) The English word "me". Used to give a character a foreign vibe, like they're an American who hasn't fully grasped the language. This is what many manga agree upon, though otherwise he uses オレ ore like his anime self.
Marx ボク (boku)
Galactic Nova ワタシ (watashi) Only seen in manga.
Nago ぼく (boku)
ChuChu チュチュ (ChuChu, her own name), わたし (watashi) She uses her own name as her pronoun in the manual, indicating youthfulness and cuteness. In most manga and guidebooks, she just uses わたし (watashi).
Pitch ぼく (boku)
Gryll ボクちん (boku-chin)
Adeleine あたし (atashi) The official site uses わたし watashi, but both the in-game cutscene "Let Me Join, Too" and her Kirby Star Allies Guest Star route use あたし atashi.
Ribbon わたし (watashi) Used on the official site.
Waddle Dee (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) オイラ (oira) Used on the official site. オイラ oira is basically a mischievious, country bumpkin-esque variant of オレ ore.
Tiff 私 (watashi)
Tuff オレ (ore)
King Dedede (anime character) ワシ (washi)
Escargoon 私 (watashi) or 私奴 (watakushime) 私奴 watakushime means "this humble servant", essentially.
N.M.E. Sales Guy 私 (watakushi)
eNeMeE 私 (watashi)
Chef Kawasaki (anime character) オレ (ore)
Whispy Woods (anime) 俺様 (ore-sama)
Coo (anime) わし (washi) Coo speaks like an old woman in the anime, so a different pronoun is used there.
Daroach オレ (ore)
Storo オレ (ore) Only seen in the novels.
Spinni オレ (ore) Only seen in the novels.
Doc ワシ (washi) Only seen in the novels.
Galacta Knight われ (ware) Only seen in manga.
Prince Fluff ぼく (boku)
Yin-Yarn わし (washi)
Magolor ボク (boku) He keeps using ボク boku even after he turns evil.
Taranza ワタシ (watashi) Only seen in manga and the novels. In-game he only calls himself このタランザ (kono Taranza or "the one named Taranza").
Queen Sectonia わらわ (warawa) normally, わたし (watashi) in the Soul of Sectonia pause screen わらわ (warawa) is an old-fashioned feminine pronoun. It's a humble form, but is often used ironically by someone who is self-aggrandizing. Originally was used mostly by royal women, but in media it's now basically exclusive to goddesses and such.
Elline わたし (watashi)
Claycia あたし (atashi) Only seen in the novels.
Susie ワタクシ (watakushi) normally, switches to アタシ (atashi) when not in "professional" scenarios
President Haltmann ワシ (washi) normally, わたし (watashi) in the Star Dream Soul OS pause screen The Star Dream Soul OS pause screen is implied to be Haltmann in the past, when he was younger.
Star Dream ワタシ (watashi)
Francisca ワタクシ (watakushi)
Flamberge アタシ (atashi)
Zan Partizanne 私 or わたし (watashi) Interestingly not in katakana like the other two. She uses 我 (ware) when making dramatic statements.
Hyness われ (ware) normally, ワタシ (watashi) in the Corrupt Hyness (Soul Melter EX) pause screen More often he uses われわれ or われら, which are more equivalent to "we", as in "our people" or "our species". He only uses われ and its variants in his crazed monologue. ワタシ (watashi) is used in a translated example sentence, and may be what he uses normally, though this is unclear.
Elfilin ボク (boku)
Leongar われら (warera) Same deal as Hyness ("we" as in "our people" or "our species"), though it gains further subtext because he only speaks under the influence of Fecto Forgo. In the novels, when speaking outside of Fecto Forgo's influence, he uses オレ ore.
