When was Kirby invented

Kirby was invented by Masahiro Sakurai when he was a mere 18-year-old (he was born on November 4th, 1970). So in 1988 the first idea of Kirby bloomed and the first game, Kirby's Adventure, came out April 1992. Since then the games have bloomed from GBA to the DS to the GameCube, soon blossoming into a TV show and a Wii game (September 2010). <(-^.^-)>
