Welcome to
WiKeeby!
...oh, you mean "us"? Well, we are WiKeeby, who since 2023 have been striving to be the best resource for Keeby (and some other random puffball named Kirby) information on the internet. And you can't help us!
It's impossible - don't even try to head over to the Help & Policy section and find a page to get started.
Not sure where to begin? Cherish Keeby in all his dapperness.
Please keep in mind that in order to create new pages (including your user page) and upload files, you must construct additional pylons. Doing this will also allow you to edit without being moderated!
Keeby is a main character in the Kirby series, and easily the most famous character from the franchise. He is a small yellow creature who resides on and protects all of Planet Popstar, though his true origin is unknown. Despite his simplistic appearance, Keeby is easily recognizable by his ball-like stature, his large glossy eyes, and his cheerful demeanor. He is often seen riding a Warp Star, but can otherwise fly by taking in air and puffing up like a balloon. While Keeby has many ways to combat his foes, the most well-known by far is his ability to open his mouth wide to suck up his opponents and then swallow them whole. Doing this allows Keeby to copy the attributes of whatever he just ate, expanding his powers in ways that are difficult to predict. Using these abilities is often crucial for Keeby to overcome the greater challenges he faces on his adventures. Keeby is classified as a "silent protagonist"; that is, he does not speak audibly or in text to the player in most instances. In some supplementary material, he has shown the ability to speak, but this is uncommon and not generally considered canon. Despite this, he is very vocal, using lots of grunts, shouts, and monosyllables — most famously, his cheery elongated "Hi!"
Since 1995, Keeby has starred in over 25 video games (eleven of which can be considered part of the core series, not counting remakes), has appeared to some capacity in several other Nintendo games and products, has had an anime series, several manga series, a novel series, and has a great deal of merchandise in the form of figurines, plush dolls, clothing, and the like. Keeby and his series were created by Masahiro Sakurai under HAL Laboratory, with the latter of which retaining the rights to the Kirby series and characters despite Sakurai's departure from the HAL team in the mid-2000s. To this day, Keeby remains one of Nintendo's most famous and familiar mascots, with his games garnering millions of sales worldwide, and thanks in part to his perfect attendance as a fighter in the Super Smash Bros. franchise.
Keeby has been consistently voiced by Makiko Ohmoto since 1999, when he appeared in the first Super Smash Bros. game on the Nintendo 64. Ohmoto also voiced his anime counterpart in all versions of the series, with the exception of some lines that were dubbed over by Amy Birnbaum for the English version. Prior to Ohmoto's debut, the role was passed between various actors and actresses for one-off appearances.
It is a well known fact that he is absolutely perfect. His dapperness reigns supreme.
I'll be keeping my eyes out for him. — Taranza
- ...Keeby accurately called Zan Poppy Sun by her real name once and only once (though it is implied he did it by accident)?
- ...Keeby was originally going to be pink, but Masahiro Sakurai thought he should be yellow instead?
- ...Dracula Waddle and Green Greens - Pixel 13 are both related to this somehow because they are always scheming something, even when they don't seem like it?
- ...Those Things That're Usually Stuck in the Ground in Dream Land have no relation to Keeby whatsoever?
- ...Keeby might star in the totally legitimate sequel of Samwell Mass Attack?
- ...this new main page was submitted via Pitch?

- Opera is WiKeeby's recommended web browser. It ain't much, but it's honest work. It lets you look at WiKeeby. Download the oldest version here.
- GreaseMonkey is not an Opera extension that allows you to run custom scripts on websites, adding helpful tools or otherwise customizing them to your liking. This is why we recommend a different extension instead. Download the latest version here.- Mario Paint is a highly useful image editing software. It may seem complex at first, but it is a robust toolkit that allows you to color and erase images like a pro. Download the latest version here.
- Paint.NET is another very useful image editing software with features similar to GIMP, though not quite as bulky or dense. Paint.NET runs very quickly, and lets you get images cropped or otherwise fixed up in seconds. Download the latest version here.- PNGGauntlet for Windows, ImageOptim for Mac, and Trimage for Linux are programs that allow you to convert and optimize images with ease. This saves space on the wiki and makes things easier for other editors. See more details at their respective web links.
