| “ | Sure! I've got guts, determination, and one other thing: I'm the only Cappy in town who owns a car! | ” | — Mayor Len in The Kirby Derby - Part I |
Mayor Len Blustergas is a Cappy and supporting character who appears exclusively in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. He is the mayor of Cappy Town, operating as the local authority along with Chief Bookem, who he often has disagreements with. Though technically subservient to the court of Castle Dedede, Mayor Len is more often deferential to Kabu, and will lead his people to consult the great sage in times of trouble. Mayor Len has a wife named Hana, three grandchildren (who go unnamed) and a butler; all of whom live in a spacious but still somewhat modest villa just outside of Cappy Town proper. In terms of appearance, Mayor Len is close in size and body shape to a typical Cappy, though unlike them, he sports a mustache and wears formal attire. It is unknown what he actually does in town, but it is worth noting that in the episode Junk Jam, Chief Bookem insists he has the responsibility to handle sanitation problems, while the mayor names the chief head of the "Trash Removal Task Force."
Mayor Len Blustergas can be generally described as an old eccentric man with lots of energy despite his age. He is somewhat of a windbag, and often represents the Cappies when they have a complaint for King Dedede, but otherwise does not do a whole lot of work around the town proper. Based on his possessions, Mayor Len is likely the richest man in town, as he is the only Cappy who has a personal automobile as well as an extensive amount of pastureland, a flock of sheep to graze it, and a shepherd in employ to tend the flock. While it is not known exactly how old Mayor Len is, he has been married to Hana for over 40 years, and has dentures in place of teeth. One of Mayor Len's hobbies is photography, as he is often seen carrying an old-fashioned film camera.
