Yariko is a child-like, spear-throwing enemy inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards that makes its appearances chucking rhythmic projectiles atKirby from above. Physically, it is a very short foe with a large clump of orange hair, not to mention a small loin cloth draped about its waist. Yariko tends to throw its spears at Kirby up until it is at his eye level, upon which it can then be defeated quite easily; however, Yariko does not yield a copy ability when ingested, despite itsNeedle-like inclinations. Their design is similar toYaban.

Yariko also appears on the 69thEnemy Info Card.
