Samurai Kirby Crew

Teyande! Over the past few months, now that my epic-ordeal known as the Mailbag Manga has passed, I have been contemplating the creation of a new manga, based on the universe of the Samurai Kirby subgame in Kirby Super Star. I am unsure about committing to such an endeavor (I really should start spending some time on an original work) but if there is enough positive response to this proposal, I will create a chapter and see where the story goes from there.
Tonikaku, here we have the three main characters- Kirby, Meta, and Dedede- with modified designs, drawn and colored in the KSS style. Each comes from a different class of Feudal Japanese hierarchy; their personalities reflect their game counterparts, but the characters and setting are separate from traditional Kirby-canon. Their names derive from the Japanese pronunciation. The locale is Eastern Popstar, Dreamland of the Rising Sun, a place where everything is Oriental-style with a Kirby-twist.
Dedede-Daimyo: the highest ruler in all the 'Land (disregarding the unseen Shogun)! He commands the country from his prodigious castle-fortress and demands absolute loyalty from his retainers and subjects. Very much like the games, Dedede shows his influence by ordering his citizens to pay high taxes to him as tribute, in koku (i.e. stealing their food). He is dressed in traditional Samurai Kirby costume, with a high-collar, kabuki-style trim, and ceremonial Odachi sword. I finally got the topknot hairstyle down, by incorporating Dedede's crown from Kirby 64, to create a true chasen-gami look. The name is a play on his Japanese name, Dedede-Daio (great king), with the last character changed to signify him as a Daimyo (samurai lord).
Metanaito Musashi: the most advanced swordsman in allegiance to the Daimyo. He is a warrior of unparallelled skill and discipline, enthralled by the samurai code of Bushido and Zen. As in the games, Meta is a great general and commands an army under Dedede, but secretly plots to overthrow him one day. His appearance draws from his official look, combined with plated samurai armor and neck-guard, and dual, Daisho swords, one of which is the Master Sword from the games. The iconic slash on his mask from Samurai Kirby here comes with the loss of one eye, so as not to fall victim to the tired cliche. Meta Knight's forename follows the romanji of his Japanese name, Metanaito, with the surname baring a reference to Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's greatest swordsman.
Kabimaru: a young boy from a peasant-farming family that claims the title of Samurai Kirby in order to rise through the ranks, and right the wrongs that plague the country. He is just a Beginner swordsman, having labored in the fields most of his young life, but with continuing effort, eventually becomes a Novice, and finally an Expert fencer. However, there is more to this Samurai Kirby than meets the eye-- he has the power to inhale enemies and their attacks to copy their abilities. He channels the copied power into his Rainbow Sword, the Kaleido-Katana, similar to ability combos in Squeak Squad that gives him a boost in skill. Samurai Kirby's appearance is unchanged from the Titular game, except that he has a more cheerful disposition. The name Kabimaru stems from Kirby's Japanese name, Kaabii, and maru, meaning circle, a naming-suffix for boys in feudal-era Japan. Very fitting, no?
So, that's it. Based on the fans' judgments, I may make a manga in accordance with what I've laid-out here. Drawn in pencil, inked in India ink brush pens, colored in color pencil, and sprite background added in GIMP.
