King Dedede (デデデ大王, Dedede Daiō) is the first antagonist and arch-enemy of Kirby in the Kirby series. King Dedede is a large blue penguin, dressed in red royal finery, with his personal emblem embossed on the back of his robe. He also wears yellow gloves and usually wields a large hammer as an offensive weapon. He has many of the same abilities as Kirby himself does, such as being able to inhale objects and spit them back out with tremendous force and also has the ability to suck in air and fly.
