星のカービィ is a Japanese anime series based on Nintendo's Kirby franchise. Produced by Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting, Dentsu, A-UN Entertainment and Studio Sign, it was directed by Sōji Yoshikawa and Mitsuo Kusakabe, with Yoshikawa handling series composition, Miyuki Shimabukuro designing the characters, Kazuo Iimura serving as chief animation director, and Akira Miyagawa composing the music.
The series follows Kirby, a pink, spherical, childlike creature who does not speak in coherent words but possesses the ability to take on new magical powers temporarily by inhaling their original users. Kirby arrives on a planet called Popstar, near the town of Pupu Village, when his spaceship crashes there 100 years before he is supposed to awaken. He quickly befriends two yellow-skinned siblings named Fumu and Bun, and their friends Lololo and Lalala. Over the course of the series, Kirby and his friends evade King Dedede and his assistant Escargon, who try to get rid of Kirby using numerous demon beasts provided by HNM (Holy Nightmare Co.) at the hands of Nightmare.
Broadcast[]
星のカービィ debuted on CBC in Japan on October 6, 2001. Its original run ended on September 27, 2003, after 100 episodes.
星のカービィ later began rebroadcasting on Tokyo MX starting June 28, 2007, until May 21, 2009.

Beginning on November 21, 2009, 星のカービィ was available for rental streaming in Japan via the Wii Room channel for the Wii, with each episode worth 100 Wii Points.

Trivia[]
- Almost all foreign-language dubbings of the series (including the Bulgarian voice-over) were produced using the 4Kids English dub as a base, translating their script and retaining their new audio and edits rather than directly translating the original Japanese version.
- The Cantonese, Indonesian, Filipino and Mandarin dubs are exceptions to this.
