- This article is about the imprisoned Cappy character inKirby: Right Back at Ya!, and should not be confused withDogon.
Doron is aCappy and a minor supporting character in the anime seriesKirby: Right Back at Ya!. He is a relatively silent character who spends most of his time inside the jail cell inChief Bookem's police station. In the rare scenes where he is outside the cell, he is usually committing some sort of crime; typically theft. Doron's only significant role in the series is in the episodeThe Thing About the Ring, where he attempts to stealSir Ebrum's engagement ring after it had already passed through several other characters' hands. He eventually ends up having to give it up whenKirby threatens toinhale him.
Doron has few distinguishing features, though his round goatee is the main one. He also has three thin strands of hair on his head. He has very little dialogue, usually only responding with "uh-huh" or "uh-uh" to yes and no questions. In the Japanese version, he is almost completely silent. He seems to only be interested in committing theft, which results in him being more-or-less constantly incarcerated in the police station. While there, however, he is mild-mannered and even gets along with Chief Bookem to a certain degree.
