Donkey Kong

**Donkey Kong** (ドンキーコング, *Donkī Kongu*), also known as "**DK**" for short, is fictional character and protagonist of the *Donkey Kong* series created by Shigeru Miyamoto. He is a powerful, yet carefree Kong, the future ruler of Kongo Bongo Island, and guardian of the Crystal Coconut.

He is the leader of a family of Kongs known as the DK crew, who have crossed paths with the King K. Rool and his Kongs on many occasions. To reach his goals, he has even gone as far as repeatedly kidnapping Kong Family members such as DK and Diddy.

When trouble arises, Donkey Kong jumps headfirst into the action to help his friends and protect his island. Donkey Kong spends his days collecting bananas and spending time with his friends, particularly along with Diddy Kong forming a comedy double act.
