Brief Biography: Kirby is the main character of Nintendo's Kirby video game series created by Masahiro Sakurai and developed by HAL Laboratory. The Kirby series is one of Nintendo's many well-known game franchises, spanning nearly twenty games since 1992. His first appearance took place in the 1992 video game Kirby's Dream Land, where he was portrayed by a two-dimensional sprite; he has also been conveyed by a three-dimensional computer-generated image in some games. He has been featured in other video games from Nintendo, on Nintendo's merchandising, on comic books, and even on a television show about the Kirby series.
