Lolo
Lololo and Lalala's appearance are based off their counterparts in their earlier appearances, Lolo and Lala in HAL's Eggerland series.
The original concept of the characters in the first title, Eggerland Mystery for the MSX in 1985 looks dissimilar to their appearances in Kirby now, but their appearance changed subtly throughout the Eggerland series' history up to the final title Revival! Eggerland for Windows in 1996, with the characters losing hair on their heads (seen in certain Japanese boxart only), gaining their stubby tail and trademark white gloves, to the point where the similarity is uncanny.
To put the time scale into perspective, Lololo and Lalala are first featured in Castle Lololo of Kirby's Dream Land, released in 1992 for the Game Boy (in the Kirby series).
In the Eggerland series, the main setting is in Eden Land, named after King Eden, King Egger's apparent ancestor.
Lolo is the blue protagonist perpetually trying to save Lala, royalty of Eden Land and his pink significant other from the evil King Egger.
Lala is an alternate playable character in Adventures of Lolo 3, the only title where she is not kidnapped.
Apparently they had a child named Lulu (smaller, colored yellow) in Lolo's Great Adventure in 1994.
King Egger's main motivation for his evil-doing is his jealousy of Eden Land's beauty.
The entire premise is not too far off from Mario, Peach, and Bowser respectively, but the titles feature puzzle-solving from a top-down perspective.
