Yes, Kirby is cute. I didn't know what is is in Japanese. I looked up how Kirby is spelled in Japanese and kawaii, not going to lie. I can't speak Japanese.xD
No, it's fine and you actually got it right. Kirby can be pronounced as Kabii since the real pronounciation of Kirby (imo) is Kerr-bi, as game is to ゲーム (gemu geh-moo). ヾ(@⌒ー⌒@)ノ
