Kirby

Originally named Popopo (which is referenced in Kirby Mass Attack), Kirby is the main character of a video game series with the same name developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. Though most of the time the games in the series have "cute/kawaii" imagery, there's almost always something dark hiding behind all of that.

"Hey, did you know that a new Kirby game called 'Kirby Star Allies' is coming out for the Switch this year?"

"Yeah. Apparently, King Dedede's been given the buff treatment."
