'''Kabuki''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which appears in [[Kirby 3D]], a special episode of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] obtains this ability when inhaling [[Lobzilla]]'s baby lobsters. When used, it first turns Kirby into a large humanoid figure dressed as a traditional [[wikipedia:kabuki|kabuki]] actor. After performing some poses, Kirby returns to his original form (though still dressed in similar clothing) and fires a laser beam which causes Lobzilla to explode. Kabuki Kirby is seen posing again at the end of the episode. | '''Kabuki''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which appears in [[Kirby 3D]], a special episode of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''.

==Appearance== | |||
In human form, Kabuki Kirby appears as a humanoid male dressed in standard kabuki attire, with a hairpiece, white makeup, and an elaborate blue costume with gold accents. The figure carries a wooden staff with a blunt end. In his usual form, Kirby wears a similar, though simplified version of the same outfit which resembles a hood (much like [[Freeze]] Kirby) and retains the hairpiece and gold accents. The laser beam that Kabuki Kirby launches out appears to come from his forehead, and is a glowing red color. | |||

The Kabuki ability also appears, albeit as a cameo, in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' as one of [[Kirby]]'s Excellent attacks in the [[Kirby Quest]] [[Sub-Game]]. Kabuki Kirby reprises his laser attack, which deals 100 damage (for every pink Kirby) to all enemies on-screen, much like most Excellent attacks. When firing the laser beam, Kirby appears to do so from the end of his staff as opposed to his forehead in the anime. | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The human form of Kabuki Kirby resembles [[wikipedia:Saitô Musashibô Benkei|Saitô Musashibô Benkei]] (西塔武蔵坊弁慶), a warrior monk from feudal Japan more popularly known as simply Benkei. | |||
**Specifically, it is based on the version of Benkei as seen in the dance-drama ''[https://www.kabuki21.com/kanjincho.php Kanjinchô]'', as portrayed by kabuki actor [https://www.kabuki21.com/ebizo5.php Ichikawa Ebizô V]. Notably, the Ichikawa Ebizô family line of kabuki actors serves as the basis for [[Lobzilla]]'s Japanese name. | |||
