One would think so, seeing this post. But the Nintendo character is actually named after an American lawyer, John Kirby, who represented Nintendo in court against Universal Studios.
That a vaccum cleaner, of all things, is also named Kirby seems more like a curious coincidence.

John either sucked at his job and this was the most passive aggressive troll on Nintendo's part, or he was just adorably pudgy.

He might have ate the other lawyers and gained their powers.

Kirby Vacuums are named for their inventor Jim Kirby, who also invented the spin cycle washing machine.
