Torkori is a selfish bird that basically uses Kirby for protection purposes. His first appearance in the anime was the very beginning of the first episode as a cameo, sleeping. In A Blockbuster Battle, when a storm came and Kirby needed to find shelter, he accidentally took Torkori's nest.

When Kirby needed a job, King Dedede told Torkori to sabotage Kirby's attempts to find work. At the end, Tiff and Tuff built a little house for Kirby. In the third episode, Tuff finds that Torkori took Kirby's house. Now he rarely lets Kirby sleep in the house or just lets him in for some rest while he watches Channel DDD.
