We've always been the best of buddies, huh, Kirby? Huh, Kirby? KIRBY!! Listen when I'm talkin' to ya!
— Tokkori

Tokkori is a small talking bird and a supporting character in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. He is a yellow parakeet that lives in a nest in a tree near Kirby's house, though the two often switch places. He first appears in Episode 1: Kirby Comes to Cappy Town, though he does not get very much development as a character until Episode 70: Buccaneer Birdy.

Appearance

Tokkori is a small bird with yellow feathers, a dark purple beak, and red cheek "scratches". His legs are orange and his eyes are small and beady, though he has a very pronounced brow area which gives him a perpetually cranky look. He tends to flutter around quickly, and can stop and start almost instantaneously.

Personality

Tokkori has a cantankerous personality, is short-tempered, and is generally selfish. He puts on a strong desire to be left alone to live a hermit's life-style, but this appears to be a deception, as he constantly bugs others with his sarcastic and jeering remarks. Much of this behaviTemplate:Or is directed toward Kirby in particular, as the two are housemates. Despise this abrasiveness, however, Tokkori does care about Kirby's safety, and can generally be expected to do the right thing.

In the English dub, Tokkori speaks with an American southern accent, and his lines are often accompanied by the sound of a fiddle.
