In the dub version of Kirby: Right Back At Ya!, Kirby is depicted as a baby,
who can only communicate by babbling. Is this true of the original Japanese
version as well, or is it a product of the translation?

Is Kirby a baby in the original "Kirby: Right Back At Ya!"?


The babbling is present in both the English and original Japanese versions.
From skimming the first three episodes, Kirby's dialogue seems roughly the
same. Other than the babbling, Kirby is able to repeat some words that others
say to him. In the first episode, he is able to repeat the names of Tiff/Fūmu
and Tuff/Bun in both the English and Japanese versions. In the third episode,
however, Kirby repeats "sword beam" in the Japanese version only. The babbling
is most likely not a product of the translation.
