Well, as far as I am concerned, John Kirby was a lawyer for Nintendo. He defended Nintendo from the accusations from Universal due to Donkey Kong's similarity to King Kong. This led to everybody's favorite pink puffball, Kirby, having a name as homage to John. I hope that answers your question.

Kirby lives in a place called Dreamland.
Nobody knows. People say he is named after John Kirby, who was a lawyer who helped Donkey Kong stay in Nintendo, and the KIRBY vacuum cleaners. Because Kirby can suck. Kirby used to be called "Popopo" don't ask me how THAT got started...
Kirby's first game was Kirby's Dream Land made in 1992.
In the first Kirby game, both king Dedede and Kirby ate a piece of the warp star, but king dedede ate too much and doesn't have the same powers of Kirby and he blames Kirby for it. so that's why he is always seeking to kill Kirby.
