@dave @AbolishPregnancy I think they were inspired independently.

Pacman's creator was inspired by a pizza missing a slice (lol) I imagine he like held up the pizza and pretended to eat his friends with it.

Kirby's original concept was a character that absorbed powers. Although, his creator did originally want him to be yellow, so maybe there was some inspiration from Pacman (Kirby was created 25 ya, Pacman 43, apparently)

  The Accidental Origins Of Kirby
  25 years ago this week, the pink puff ball made his Japanese debuted in Kirby’s Dream Land for the Game Boy. But the game’s titular character was originally just a placeholder. One of Nintendo’s most iconic characters almost didn’t get created, at least not in the form we’ve come to know and love.
