Keeby[1] (キービィ[2] Kībii) is the official nickname of the yellow Kirby of his species who debuted as the 2-Player in Kirby's Dream Course. Keeby is also often used by fans to refer to other yellow Kirby appearances in the Kirby series.
Keeby is bright yellow with large blue eyes and orange feet. Like Kirby, he is also able to obtain Copy Abilities, and plays exactly the same in every respect to his pink counterpart.

Trivia
- Keeby's cTemplate:Olor scheme may be a reference to how Shigeru Miyamoto imagined Kirby to be colTemplate:Ored yellow before Masahiro Sakurai decided that he should be pink.
- The yellow hue is also similar to Beam Kirby's appearance in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra. However, Beam Kirby has more reddish feet.
- Green Kirby also has an official nickname: くさもちカービィ[2] (Kusa mochi Kirby). Kusa mochi (literally "grass mochi") is a green Japanese sweet.
