Moonja

Tsukikage is an enemy appearing in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It's a stout, purple ninja with a silver headband and beige skin. Tsukikage is usually hidden and will reveal itself when Kirby and his friends approach it. Tsukikage attacks by throwing a single shuriken and then disappearing. It will reappear shortly after and repeat the process once again. If inhaled, it will grant Kirby with the Ninja ability. Tsukikage is the only enemy to give the Ninja ability in the game.

Tsukikage appears in the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition as well. It appears in the Smash Combat Chamber.

Trivia

 * Tsukikage's appearance looks very similar to Benikage, a ninja from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.
 * The Tsukikage in the first room Stage 2 of Nutty Noon is programmed not to vanish after appearing; if Kirby does not defeat it, if will just jump and throw shurikens, not vanishing to ambush the hero.
