King Dedede (Kirby: Right Back at Ya!)

King Dedede is the central antagonist of the anime series, based on the Kirby games, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. He is, much like his video game counterpart, Kirby's archenemy who is bent on getting rid of him in any way possible. Instead of usually being more upfront with getting rid of Kirby as he is in the games, his most prominent tactic is buying monsters from Lord Nightmare who can later terrorize Kirby.

He was voiced by Ted Lewis in the English version, and by Kenichi Ogata in the Japanese version.

Personality
Much like he is in the video games, Dedede is greedy and arrogant as a king an loves bullying citizens, especially his archenemy Kirby. He will completely ignore anyone who even slightly says anything negative about him being a king unless it pushes his goals further, seeing the townsfolk as weaker, less wealthy, and therefore less meaningful than him. Much like his greediness stays the same in this version, Dedede keeps his love for eating way too much food. Despite being very similar to his original video game version, this version of King Dedede is alot worse and evil. His hatred for Kirby has taken over him and instead of keeping it just between him and Kirby, he has no regard for the townsfolk at all and takes his huge hatred of Kirby out on innocent citizens of Cappy Town. Strangely enough, despite being a complete bully to pretty much everyone in Cappy Town, citizens still see him as a king and show respect to him. While certainly eviler than his other versions, he still keeps a comedic and incompetent personality, especially with his new partner Escargoon, who are both quite incompetent.
