Meta Knight acts as a secret guardian to Kirby, though he is not particularly involved in Kirby's life, only appearing on the scene when the pink puffball is in trouble. As such, Meta Knight knows a good deal about Kirby's potential and his temperament.

While he does not interact much with the residents of Cappy Town, the few relationships he does have are very strong, often rooted in repeated hardships which were overcome either in the backstory, or throughout the series proper. Meta Knight has a unique set of relationships compared to most of the rest of the cast. His eyes will change color depending on his mood. Despite his usual stoic demeanor, Meta Knight does display a wide range of emotions. He is cautious, extreme, and takes on the attitude of a survivalist, though despite his demeanor, he still cares for the people he has sworn to protect. Meta Knight is demonstrated to be very wise and experienced, having survived a war against Night Mare Enterprises which defeated nearly every Star Warrior in the universe.

In both the Japanese and 4Kids versions, his presence is announced through the soundtrack with a flamenco guitar sting, and this is complimented in the English version with a Spanish accent for the masked swordsman (which appears to be based upon Antonio Banderas' performance in the 1998 film The Mask of Zorro). He takes on the role of a mysterious but dedicated swordsman and mentor, helping both Kirby and Tiff when they are in need.

Unlike Kirby, Meta Knight has a full speaking role. Unlike his video game counterpart, Meta Knight does not have wings in the anime, and is thus not capable of flight without assistance. Despite being roughly the same size as Kirby in the video games, Meta Knight is noticeably larger than him here, which helps to demonstrate that at least in the anime, Kirby is still a child. Meta Knight has a similar body structure to Kirby, but is deep blue in color and is somewhat more modest wearing a mask, boots, gloves, shoulder pauldrons, and a cape, which he wraps around himself when not in combat. Meta Knight wields the sacred blade Galaxia, though he rarely uses it directly. After Kirby crash-lands in Dream Land, Meta Knight tasks himself with guiding and training the young pink puffball in the art of fighting monsters, though his methods are often extreme, putting Kirby in harm's way. He is a veteran Star Warrior who has settled in King Dedede's court, feigning to serve the king in order to protect Dream Land from the monsters which are summoned on the regular through Night Mare Enterprises. Sir Meta Knight is a major supporting character in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.
