Tsukikage is an enemy appearing in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It is 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 games it appears in.

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 name means "moon shadow" in Japanese.
  • Tsukikage is one of the only characters in the Kirby series known to have toes.
