King Dedede is an enemy/friend of Kirby in Nintendo and HAL Laboratories' Kirby series of videogames. Though often portrayed as evil, he is more likely just a psychotic, and sometimes well-meaning, doofus.
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
In Kirby's Adventure, he is the final boss, but it is revealed that by his "evil" doings he merely wanted to keep the far more evil "Nightmare" character from Dreamland.
