Mama Smurf said:Nah, he created both. Interesting Kirby facts:
- Originally Kirby was just a placeholder to allow them to make the game before coming up with a character. They liked Kirby, it stuck.
- Miyamoto wanted Kirby to be yellow (the first Kirby game was on the Gameboy, no one knew what colour he was meant to be), Sakurai insisted on pink.
- Probably named after John Kirby, a lawyer who represented Nintendo in a major lawsuit against Atari way back. Though as there are Kirby vacuum cleaners, which is of course very similar to Kirby's abilities, I'm not sure which one's true.
OH! I didn't know that. Ya learn something new everyday
