Keke, originally spelledKeKe^[1], is an enemy who first appeared inKirby's Dream Land 3 and later appeared inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards. She is a humanoid with shaggy white hair, black ears resembling those of a cat, a long, black or purple robe, and white or red shoes. She rides on a flying broom, in the same manner as a stereotypicalwitch.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]

In-game sprite.

KeKe makes her first game appearance inKirby's Dream Land 3, drifting vaguely towards Kirby when present. She gives theCleanability when she or her broom isinhaled. If inhaled normally, only KeKe's broom will be inhaled, but attacking or bumping into KeKe's broom causes it to explode, allowing KeKe herself to be inhaled. Without her broom, KeKe stumbles and roll away (likeAdo andAdeleine do upon their defeat), but she can still damageKirby if she collides with him. She is immediately defeated when she touches a wall in that state.

Trivia[edit]

• Keke's name and design may be inspired by the titular protagonist of the Japanese animated filmKiki's Delivery Service, which is based on a novel by the same name. Apart from both characters having similar names and riding on a broom, Keke's robe resembles that worn by Kiki. Her cat-like ears, which resemble Kiki's hair ribbon, are also likely in reference to Kiki's familiar, a black cat named Jiji.
