Kirby lives in their dome-shaped home in Dream Land, a country on their home planet Planet Popstar. Their adventures take them throughout Dream Land and occasionally into local star systems for various reasons, and they have saved their homeland many times.
Kirby, despite being referred as male in localizations, is gender-neutral in Japanese sources. This makes tags like crossgender unapplicable to them.
