Nago is one of Kirby's Animal Friends who appears in Kirby's Dreamland 3. He is a cat and is about twice Kirby's size. For transportation Nago rolls Kirby into a ball and rolls him along. He also can accomplish a triple jump in midair, unlike the other animal friend like him, Rick the Hamster, who can jump once, off the ground but can climb against walls. Nago has a girlfriend named Shiiro.

Nago may be a pun on Neko, the Japanese word for Cat.

Also known to Kirby fans is that Nago also appears as a cameo in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, when Kirby uses the Stone Friends ability (which is a combine of cutter and stone). Like in Kirby's Dreamland 3, he can jump twice, yet is very slow.

He was slated to be in the Anime, as sketches have been seen of him, but was scrapped for unknown reasons. Cook Nagoya is said to look a lot like Nago, and that's probably how he got that name.
