Biospark is a recurring side character in Motto! Hoshi no Kaabii, debuting in the episode Ninja Hide-and-Seek!. They make few background appearances, but seems to spend a notable amount of time in Dreamland after their second appearance.
They are notable for their gender being ambiguous; though never explicitly referred to as such, they are widely assumed to be nonbinary by fans. In English localizations, different characters use different pronouns for them, but this article will use "they/them" for clarity.
Table of Contents
Appearance
Biospark is a round ninja wearing purple clothing and a yellow visor. They have long red hair tied in a high ponytail. Their feet and hands are red, and their hands are detached from their body. Though their face is kept in shadow, the color used to shade their face is notably more purple-leaning than other characters who have masked/shaded faces, which might imply their body color is some shade of purple. They have yellow eyes that glow in the dark.
From their second appearance onwards, they have a scar that runs down the left side of their face, and a notch in their visor to match.
Personality
Biospark is shown to be very guarded and distrustful of others; many of the conflicts they are involved in are at least partly caused by their refusal to simply talk about the situation. When faced with conflict they are more likely to bolt. Even between allies they are cynical and reluctant to interact on more than a surface level.
They do seem to have a loyal streak to those who do manage to get through to them, though they seem to remain abrasive in the way they speak even then. On rare occasions where they are attempting to be kind, they are extremely awkward and are prone to falling silent.
They dislike children, but it seems to stem from their awkward inability to behave in a non-abrasive manner.
Gender
The topic of their gender first came up in Chasing Shadows Part 2, after Yamikage assumes them to be a woman and taunts them over it. After his defeat, Biospark offhandedly mentions they simply played into it because his sexism annoyed them and they wanted to make him eat his words. When asked if they're a man, then, they simply replied "I didn't say that." While they never discuss it explicitly again, their father Sir Dragato also notably avoids referring to them with gendered language even when it would otherwise be unnatural, supporting the assumption that they may be nonbinary.
Because they do not make attempts to "correct" perceptions of their gender often, different characters in the series refer to them differently. Below is a table of pronoun sets and the cast members who use them:
| He/Him |
|
| She/Her |
|
| They/Them |

Relationships
- Galacta Knight: In Chasing Shadows Part 1, it was revealed that Galacta saved an injured Biospark from enemy ninjas, and Biospark had been visiting since then. Most of Biospark's incidental appearances are related to him. He is Biospark's only confirmed friend.
- Sir Dragato: In [GSA comes to Dreamland], he is revealed to be Biospark's father. They had been estranged for quite some time, and Biospark is quite awkward in their interactions.
- Yamikage: In Chasing Shadows Part 2 he is shown to have failed in killing them once in the past. He attempts to finish the job along with getting his revenge on Kirby - but is defeated by the two of them instead.
- Benikage: Biospark speaks quite harshly towards him in Ninja Hide-and-Seek!, disapproving of him using his full ninja name at his lackluster skill level. He attempts to ask to become their student in later episodes, but is shut down completely.
Notable Appearances
- Ninja Hide-and-Seek!: their debut episode. They infiltrate Castle Dedede during a visit from Benikage. After skirting the combined efforts of Benikage, Kirby and friends, and the castle guard to capture them, they blow up the HNC Delivery Service and escape.
- Chasing Shadows Part 1/Part 2: Biospark happened to have been in Dreamland tending to Galacta Knight, who is unwell during his molt. They are initially assumed by Fumu and Bun to be behind the attack on Meta Knight, due to having behaved antagonistically in their previous appearance. After finding the true culprit, Yamikage, they defeat him once and for all alongisde Ninja Kirby.
